Banana Jam Cafe opened in 1999 as a small 45 seater restaurant in the parking lot by Kenilworth station, serving traditional Caribbean food along side burgers and pizza.

In 2010 we moved across the road and expanded to a 200 seater restaurant. With the same Caribbean feel as before we now boast a beautiful garden, an open plan interior with our famous Rum bar, 30 beers on tap and one of the best brew pubs in Cape Town.

    I always adore being at Banana but this time for the first time ever my meal was disappointing. Caramelised onions not caramelised- Camembert so thin it was almost invisible and burger meh!

    Always a good experience at Banana Jam. Waiters are always friendly and attentive. Drinks & Food arrived timeously. More rectangular tables are needed inside. Round tables placed together for a group seating is not conducive for having meals, as it’s quite awkward. Overall, good experience 👍🏻

    We love coming there all the way from the Nothern suburbs. We have been twice within 4 weeks. We love the place.
