Since opening, Mantra Café in Camps Bay has become known for its classic, cosmopolitan dining style paired with a relaxed ocean-facing atmosphere. Overlooking the Atlantic, it offers a refined yet easy-going setting where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in a beautifully designed space that balances sophistication with comfort.

The menu is inspired by simple, modern café dining with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and globally influenced flavours. Expect everything from fresh seafood, gourmet burgers, salads, and comfort-style mains, alongside curated wines, cocktails, and coffee. The experience is designed to feel both elevated and welcoming, whether for a long seaside lunch, sunset drinks, or a relaxed evening meal.

Mantra Café is suited to both social dining and special occasions, offering a polished but unpretentious escape with strong attention to food quality, service, and atmosphere.

    Venue fab. Food great. Wine selection excellent. Venue was a bit empty for a Friday evening and Servers were a bit slow and did not read the table. BDY cake was not great, this can be improved. Settling the bill was not clearly explained eg subtract dep from total to actual - vague. Will I go again? Maybe for breakfast as this is apparently a preferred breakie spot.
