We were recommended this restaurant by a friend and you could drive by without knowing there is a restaurant inside. Go hungry, the buffet lunch is so delicious, fresh and you will want more of everything. Inside is old world luxury and feels exclusive. We didn't book but luckily arriving at 2.15 for lunch we were able to get a... More

We went here on our last night in Cape Town. Decided to sit at the bar for a drink prior to eating. I was driving, so had water, but girlfriend had a cocktail which she said was superb. She tried a different one during the meal, which was also very good. We shared sushi to start and then had duck... More

We didn't realize we needed a reservation- even so we were given great seats near the bar, and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Food superb, service lovely. Best margarita I've had in a while, my sisters martini was fantastic. We felt so lucky to literally fall into this wonderful dining experience. So- make a reservation if you can, but know that...

Everything was perfect, drinks, food, service and atmosphere made us all very satisfied! We were seated outdoors in the garden, due to late reservation, but it was still a perfect with the touareg canvas and nice lightsetting! The service was excellent allthough he blushed a little when my wife orders a Latino lover as the welcomedrink!

Kitima is right next to a rather small township in Hout Bay, which could be a bit weird to some guests. You have to make a booking in advance. But as soon as you are inside, it is simply PERFECT. Very stylish place, really awesome food, a stunning bar with great cocktails, very good waiters. You will enjoy every second!!!... More

This is one of my absolute favorites . Excellent service, superb food and fantastic ambience. My friend and I popped in for dinner during the week and the vibe was as good as the weekend. We sat in the bar area in the lounge seating. Our first course was the Tom Yum Goong soup. It's a spivey seafood soup with... More

Very cool bar and good eats: Behind the Cape Dutch facade of this building hides a renowned restaurant and very chick Asian style bar. We enjoyed both - the drinks and the food, which was unpretentious but very high quality. An eclectic mix of different Asian cuisines but authentic all the same. (we skipped the authentic hotness of some of... More

What a terrific experience. It is rare for me to experience excellent food, service and ambience under one roof. Jacques served us for the evening and offered an impeccable service. Cocktails were yummy! Food arrived on time and was piping hot, of a high standard & cooked to perfection. The menu offers an extensive choice and very good value for... More

I've always heard fantastic things about Kitima but never really had the chance to visit.this was a Sunday buffet and that alone doesn't always fill me with confidence but what a surprise I received as soon as I set foot into the restaurant! A quick perusal through the wonderful dishes on offer and my dad and I gave each other... More
