Mano's is a legend, from Joburg to CT! He hasn't been well so we wish him full recovery soon. I love the location and the vibe. But please ignore some of the self-imposed 'important' clients. They feel they provide the glitz and the glamour when in fact they are the spectacle! Still, it is good for a laugh just observing... More

We used to drive past this place for years thinking it was probably a bit expensive. We could not have been more wrong. We just love this place. Stylish and relaxed. My Husband particularly likes the attentive service by gorgeous long legged staff! Menu is small but manages to find something for everyone. Most nights during the summer (we are... More

Wonderfully run restaurant. I thought it would be pricey as the ambience and clientele appeared very well-heeled. Perfectly reasonable prices with starters beginning at 60R and nothing on the menu over 150R. A stunning beef carpaccio with fresh-shaved parmesan was excellent. The prawn curry was also excellent (market price was 120R - a bargain for sizeable, ultra fresh shrimp). It's... More

Ordered a chicken Caesar salad as a main instead of starter. This was huge, and very good. The staff were bubbly friendly and efficient. I think it a great stop for a meal, excellent location. So good we went back again the next night and the meal was again very good.

Great, well cooked, simple food and efficient service. The salads are brilliant so would recommend any on the menu. The fish was done to perfection and the chicken liver penne was outstanding. Small menu with a variety of daily specials. This is a popular restaurant so be prepared to wait but worth it (not long). We also ate at Manoli's... More

the place was packed when we arrived. So we ordered a bottle of wine and stood at the bar with all of the others waiting for their turn. Didnt take long. They turn tables several times each session with superb service and a very efficient kitchen. We shared a Mozzarella, tomato and avo salad and all opted for one of... More

Manos is one of those fantastic places still run by the owner doing simple food really well at a great price. Just outside Cape Town's Waterfront he offers the fare and buzz that makes this place a perennial with locals. `and in fickle Cape Town thats saying something
