Nelson's Eye

On my first day of traveling in Cape town, I asked one of my uber drivers what is the best steakhouse in Cape Town. He proudly introduced me this restaurant. We went there with reservation. Everything went smooth and food was amazing. Also the staffs there were super friendly and attentive. This will be the place I will recommend to my friends. Try their Wagyu beef ribs!

The food was great and the staff was very friendly! Very appreciated that we did not have to wait for long for our food, even if there was around 150 people sitting on that day. There are some parking spaces in front of the restaurant guarded by someone. PSA: trust me take the pork ribs, not the steak, you won't regret it.

What a great gem of a place. I was completely unaware of them and found it with work colleagues through our steak club social. This is a true steak house in the great traditional way. Proper food quality steaks. Lovely cuts to choose from. Their creamed spinach is awesome. They have a lovely option of condiments, chilly jalapenos, thinly crumbed and fried onions and yummy garlic mushrooms! They are a bit pricey but well worth the effort. Their drinks are also not cheap. They charge R150 corkage per 750ml bottle wine and you can take 2 per 3 people. We ran into the owner on the evening. Very nice to speak to him. He still believes in good customer service and even better food. Will recommend them for sure and also go back for more.

Great steak. We had the fillet on the bone and the rump 420g (definitely too much for one). The sides were a little disappointing. Spinach could have been more creamy and a more generous portion and the baked potato was a little small, plus the sour cream could have used some garnishing and/or fragrance. Starters were Burrata (lovely) and Kudu Carpaccio (lovely with Caperberries but could do with a little less grana padano on top). We paid R700 per person including a bottle of red wine and tip so would have expected a tad bit more for the budget.

I hardly eat at meats places when I'm in Cape Town (prefers more seafood because you are by the sea), but the food at this restaurant is amazing, and we were all craving eating meats. Why I think this place's food is great? My opinion only - I can never eat a whole 200g sirloin without getting bored of it, and this time, I order more than 300g because I was sharing with my son. I was able to finish 200g and still want more. I digged into the steak without taking a picture!!! It was so good, juicy, soft and cooked perfectly. I had a good piece with enough meats to fats. Their basting made it perfect. We also ordered roasted vegetables and crispy fried onions as sides and 2 sauces. My mushroom sauce was so flavourful (best one I had so far). Roasted vegetables aren't just your typical carrots, butternuts but cauliflowers, broccolis, and purple cabbage in olive oil with some spices. The place is so busy (recommend to book prior) and it is a big restaurant with upstairs but the spaces inside are like a tight-space you see in a pub in the UK. You do pay about R200 or more for a steak with a starch on the side. We had friendly service, food didn't take too long (the restaurant was fully booked), and I really enjoyed eating there.

Hidden Gem you must visit. My husband ate here six years ago and was impressed by the service, food and prices. It was at the top of his Cape Town to do list and did not disappoint. The restaurant is old school and part of the charm. Services are efficient And knowledgeable. The menu is quiet extensive and reasonable priced. The steak was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the fillet steak and grilled vegetables. Definitely give this place a try over the other big chains, you won’t be disappointed
