The Moveable Feast

besides an inattentive hostess (also our waitress for the night) - really blown away with the overhaul of what was Rafiki's!really great decor update and great menu options.REALLY enjoyed the Parisian Gnocch (albeit a bit too oily).

Best place to sit is on the curved veranda overlooking the Kloof Nek junction. Noisy, but no shortage of street life to enjoy. The menu's not extensive (I had a great steak because there wasn't any particularly tempting fish). The atmosphere is party-ish, especially when the adjoining bar is busy. Probably best for those who are young, or young-at-heart.

The vibe there was extremely great with great staff and an amazing DJ played music into the night after we had dinner! We were visiting from the US and had a great time there and it was comparable to back home.

I have been here a few times and really enjoyed myself every time! If you come here on a weekend night expect a full and vibrant place with fun dancing music. If you come here for a meal expect affordable and top quality food. The burger and chili poppers are some of the best I've had. I will definitely be back!

My fiance took me out for our anniversary here. The atmosphere and music was great. I felt transported to another world. The waitress was friendly and didn't bother us at all, she could see that we were having deep conversations and only approached us when we looked her way. I ordered the vegan gnocchi and it was amazing. The manager was kind and friendly. A swing song came on and we ended up dancing. Everyone around us seemed to enjoy themselves as well. I've gone back three times since and not once been disappointed.

I had heard via the vegan grapevine, that this restaurant had vegan options. I went online and sadly saw they were super limited, as in one starter, one main and a salad, but wanted to give it a try. We arrived to see the Ol Rafikies had transformed to a vibey, beautiful decorated restaurant/bar. Our waitress told us there was a special, start&main with a glass of wine, however, when I looked at the menu there was only one dish that was vegan, the gnocchi, the starter and salad had been removed and there were no other options whatsoever. So no "special" for me! She went to ask the chef if they could do a vegan starter and promptly returned to say NO. Okay moving on, my dinner companion ordered the Sirloin, and asked if they could give him just a big salad in place of chips, evidently he would have to pay more. When the food arrived we were both suprised by the small portions. The gnocchi was delicious but there was nothing else I could order with it, I was still a little hungry. My dinner companion ordered a starter of hake strips, which was more like a main course. Our waitress was lovely, but not very attentive. The manager came over and we said we thought the portions were very small, he said he would inform the kitchen and went on his merry way. I found the service lacking, portions too small and only one dish for a vegan, with a chef that would not make an effort to create a bit of a starter...which could have been a salad. Very much doubt I would return or recommend this spot...not very satisfying on many levels. Sad because it is pretty.

I was so looking forward to this restaurant experience especially after the good reviews!Our booking seemed to be unexpected even though I'd booked on Dineplan a week in advance. We were led to a table far away in the corner given menus and then basically ignored for 20 minutes while the only two other tables in the restaurant got served. We ordered wine. It arrived 15 minutes later. We were then ignored for a further 20 mins at which point we were asked finally if we wanted to order. We asked for the bill and when queried said we were sorry hut we felt very much less than welcome and completely ignored. They were set up for a big party that night but by the time we left (40 mins after we'd arrived) no one from the party had pitched so that could not have been the cause of the completelack of care or service. Such a shame because from what we could see from the 2 other tables the food looked really good. Upon leaving one waitress said casually, goodbye, sorry for the wait. We will sadly not be going back.

We all had a fun evening and they had a great drinks special on. However the food was really bad. It was bar food, crumbled prawns and burgers and trinchado, but incredibly dry and salty. Very bad food is the rating.

Great food and very friendly service. Cosy fireplace. Can highly recommend the Sea Bass and the Sirloin. The wine list is not extensive but good selection.

We visited for the first time on a Thursday night. The restaurant was quite empty (there were only two other tables) so the atmosphere was muted, but it was a weeknight in the Winter, which may have had an impact. The fireplace was lovely touch! We ordered the vegan gnocchi (although we are not vegan) and the rump, and both were excellent (along with the side of fries that came with the rump). The wine list was good but relatively small and quite expensive. Food was also priced slightly above average, with mains priced between R150 and R200 for medium-sized portions. All in all, a delicious meal and pleasant experience.
