Set against the working harbour of Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, The Waterside brings refined dining to one of the city’s most iconic locations. Part of the La Colombe Group, the restaurant pairs sweeping views with a calm, contemporary interior where expansive windows and a waterside terrace allow the setting to speak for itself.

Under the direction of Chef Roxy Mudie, the menu balances elegance with approachability. Her multi-course Chef’s Menu showcases seasonal South African ingredients through inventive, flavour-driven combinations – thoughtful without being fussy, polished without losing warmth. Expect dishes that weave together land and sea, texture and depth, presented with precision and restraint.

Relaxed yet sophisticated, The Waterside offers an experience that feels special without being formal. Whether lingering over a long lunch or settling in for dinner as the harbour lights begin to shimmer, guests can expect attentive hospitality, considered wine pairings, and a dining experience shaped by both flavour and view. At The Waterside, the food and the setting exist in perfect balance.
