Dias Tavern - Cape Town

Once again we had an amazing time at Dias The ambiance, the food and being served by Charlie himself wow, star treatment. The sole a la Dias, trinchada and the chicken Cordon Bleu were too die for. We had catemba but our friends had to pay corkage of R50 was a bit steep in my opinion

A trip to Cape Town is incomplete unless one visits Dias. We went for a late lunch yesterday. Trinchado with chips soaked in the gravy for starters. Prawn mains and half chicken Peri Peri mains. Once again it was heaven on earth. Thank you Dias!

Read all the reviews and was really looking forward to dinner at this restaurant. Service was mediocre and the food sub standard. Will not return.

It looks nothing special from the outside, and even inside it does not look the greatest. But the food was superb. The serivce was very good and everything came in no time at all, even though the place was full. We were a party of 6 and we had a huge sharing platter. It was all really good, especially the prawns. Not to mention the rolls that were also great. Will deffinatly go back.

Só sad to see this once vibrant place so bad , food ok but service and vibe not existent . I know it’s lockdown but it’s not an excuse, let’s hope the owners wake up it bring back the great vibe they had .

One of the best Portugese restaurants in South Africa, definitely the best in Cape Town. Great food, outstanding service - ask for Maria. Not one of the best waiters - the best waiter. I often ordered the Chicken (peri peri), Portugese steak and baby Kingklip. Enjoy!

This friendly place has been a local's favourite for many many years. Our early evening dinner comprised deep fried calamari rings (so tender) with salad and chicken cordon bleu with mushroom sauce and the best chips. This Portugese-inspired tavern has been on the scene for over 30 years and still going strong! Great food, service and value for money!

As we were staying nearby we decided to give the Dias tavern a go. I have to say you do wonder where you are going when you enter the building but once you get upstairs be prepared to be surprised. Our waitress was lovely and helpful. The menu is varied and has great choices. I had the chicken prego roll which was amazing and my partner had half a piri chicken which he said was spot on. It is not expensive but the food is fantastic

Charlie our waiter was friendly and service was great. Food was delicious, I had calamari and my friend had Cape Salmon - fresh and tasty. Music - loved the song choices and excellent voice; would prefer slightly softer as had to shout at each other and it was early evening.

went there with friends for an uncomplicated meal after a book launch. The place is an institution in Cape Town - the Troyville Hotel of the Cape!! I had a full chicken piri piri - yummy but too much - I was too greedy and should have gone for the half. Well priced and a cheerful place - even with a old guy singing out lounge singing style.
