“Poor Service”

We were part of a party of 9 who eat lunch at the Utopia yesterday. The venue was excellent on the top floor of the 15 storey building in the Waterkant, Excellent views around Cape Town with a pool. We had the 5 course tasting menu and the food was also very good but the service let them down badly. We waited over an hour between course 2 and 3 which was totally unacceptable. We considered the delayed service was to make us consume more wine at their expensive prices.

“inconsistent timing of food”

Firstly it has to be said that the views are superb from all sides of the restaurant......we were a party of 9 of whom 8 chose the tasting menu.....my wife asked to swap a couple of plates from the vegetarian menu and this was no problem...the food was in general very good however the beef fillet was a little tasteless...the problem was however the fact that the first plate arrived within 10 minutes of us ordering....the second course followed shortly after.....then however we had a wait in excess of 75 minutes for the next course....the 4th course followed 10 minutes later and the dessert soon after.....if they can get the timing sorted the tasting menu is varied and good value.Will certainly visit again and trust the timing is better.

“A true celebration at this restaurant”

We were invited to a birthday dinner at Utopia. The venue situated just on the outskirts of the CBD which makes parking much easier. The restaurant is in the 15th floor and has outstanding views towards signal Hill, over the ocean, Table Mountain and surrounds. The area provided in the restaurant was ideal for a small group. The service was outstanding and the food was devine. My request for a ribeye steak was the best steak I have had ever and the starter and desert was of the best. A choice restaurant if you want to make a statement and if you really want 5 star food.

“Top class Venue”

We had my daughter’s pre wedding dinner (18 people) at Utopia. The night view is amazing from the deck. We had the 3 course set menu and the food was absolutely top class. The service is one of the best I have had in Cape Town for a long time. Definitely a must do.

“An absolute must visit!”

My husband and I had the most breathtaking evening filled with stellar views and exquisite cuisine on a stormy night in Cape Town. Utopia you did not disappoint. The service was impeccable from the basement to the bustling 15th floor. I was blown away by the tasting menu, and my husband enjoyed the surf and turf. Compliments to the newly instated Chef Dennis and team - the food was made and served with all the love. I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back soon! Well done Utopia Team xo

“World class food, magnificent views and great service at a bargain price”

It is almost unheard of to have the combination of great views, food, service and prices but utopia has it all. Each of the 5 courses were magnificent, particularly the spicy prawns and creme brulee - an absolute steal at R195. The wines were a little pricey but not unreasonable, so we went for the cocktails which were superb.

“Eye Opener!”

Was told this restaurant did a very good tasting menu. R195.00 for 5 courses. (Meat or Veg)Really a very good deal. Great food with more than enough for 5 courses. Served up on stylised plates and very friendly staff. Amazing views over the city in one of the cleanest restaurants I have been to in Cape Town.Totally recommend giving Utopia a try. I think I'm gonna try it again at night when it is busier, I'd love to see how the room flows.

Utopia is the perfect venue for an intimate lunch for two, as well as a large group for family or work events. They have a fabulous team to look after you, from the front of house to the chefs creating your dining experience, you’re in good hands.
It’s one of a very few places that offer a relaxed but true fine dining experience in Cape Town.
Not only is the restaurant a beautiful place to be, but you’re also blessed with a 360’ view of all the finest parts of the city.
Sitting back in this exquisitely furnished restaurant you cannot help forgetting the busy hassle and bustle of city life below you.
If the view and the furnishing haven’t impressed you, wait for the gastronomic delight that is every dish on the menu. My personal favorite is the sirloin on the bone.
... a very special place indeed. Can’t wait to go back.
