“Superb service and ambiance”
Lovely balance between casual ambiance but with a clean, well maintained feel. Brilliant service. Menu is impressive but food doesn't quite measure up to the expectation (salty, dry, overdone) but this only applies to the two dishes that was had. Drink selection is a marvel! Comfortable smoking area and they serve hookahs (aka hubbly or shisha). Prices are also reasonable. Would definitely recommend as a place to meet with friends.

“Strangers becoming family in tthe first visit”
Definitely the place to be.Great customer service. Being there for the first time, the staff and waiters make you feel like you've been for the hundredth time.Justin the manager is absolutely awesome and so welcoming.The vibe, ambiance and food is really great for a nice sundowner in a very retro setting, making you relaxed in old Hollywood right here in Cape town! - try their freshly stone oven baked pizzas - outstanding!

“cool mid day hangout for Hookah and a drink!”
well i have to say shisha or hookah in SA is very good. especially that i come from egypt and know what good shisha is. a little bit over priced in most places but its good.this place has a nice upper terrace that you can enjoy a shisha mid day with a coffee or a drink. food is ok, you can grab a bite but don't put high hopes for something very special.Teacher was always our waiter, special thanks my friend!

Thank you Maamoun, a lovely review albeit the food not being too special. But as always, we will strive harder and do more, until our food plucks a few heartstrings!

“Shouted at by manageress”
Very rude manageress who literally shouted at me until she was coaxed away by other staff. Their was a mix up on what the waitress said a plate of food was, and we were not only refused to be able to pay what the waitress told us the meal cost, but very badly treated. Even though we stayed pretty polite ourselves, the situation left a very bad taste. We will certainly never go back. Food was also average.

“Physically attacked by manager”
A few friends and I visited cafe extrablatt to celebrate my birthday only to have myself and my sister physically attacked and bruised by their managers and bouncer while trying to leave for a smoke break. Worst place in Cape Town, worst service and even worse food. Congrats for contributing to South Africa’s biggest problems

Guido D, Owner at Cafe Extrablatt, responded to this review.
Dear Faeqahk, I have had a chance to go through our CCTV footage of the night in question. We take an allegation like this very serious. Our manager requested you settle the bill before leaving outside for your smoke break as we have had numerous occasions where patrons simply leave without paying. (This was not meant as an insult to you, but simply a manager doing his job as requested by me so that we don't loose more income). Not one of our waiting staff or managers were physically involved in this unfortunate incident (As seen on the footage). Our bouncer tried to intervene but he stopped when he realised the situation was out of control. The traffic police arrived as well and most of the consequential argument occurred off premises. If you want to take this further we suggest you contact us directly. (info@cafe-extrablatt.co.za) We have legal council to assist us and hopefully we can resolve this matter amicably. We urge you not to continue with allegations online.

“Death by hake!”
The food was very mediocre for the price point. Oily Hake that did not smell fresh. Burgers that are falling apart. The waiter had the audacity to ask for a tip after such an ordeal........

Guido D, Owner at Cafe Extrablatt, responded to this review.
Emsthefoodie, I am sorry to see this. People come from far and wide for our handmade burger patties - that said, there are human hands behind our patties, not machines - so I can accept that your patty was not up to our usual standard. I apologise. The hake is fresh and was pan fried, once again - I will have a chat with the kitchen staff, it should not have been oily, but light and fluffy. So a second apology is due. I do however would love to know the name of the waiter that demanded a tip - that is unacceptable. I need to address this urgently. If you feel like having a chat, pop in and ask for Guido. If you'd like to mail me please email me at info@cafe-extrablatt.co.za.

“Steak Fillet!”
Really nice meals for a good Cape Town price. I enjoyed a really good tender steak however the cooking style request went unheard, medium ended up being well done. But it was still delicious and served in good time.

Thank you Stewleslie for a constructive review. I am glad you still enjoyed the meal, I will mention the style request error to my kitchen staff.

“Quick pop in”
I popped in to have a quick drink after a grueling 10km race 2day. Just has a Dom Pedro. Hubby has an Americano. Service was really awesome, great atmosphere and I could see people feasting away on a breakfast buffet. We had a booking elsewhere so I didn't have food. Pleasant.

“Brunch pricing value for money”
I must be truthful, out of what I have seen (pics on FB), I had my doubts but I was surprised with the level of service and the quality of the food. I bought 2x R99 Wikideal specials for the brunch normally its R139 but still value for money. We will definitely do it again when in the city again. Just one thing, if you have children please look after them they are your responsivity and also don't make it unpleasant for other patrons!!!Other than that what a great experience.
