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.

    Thank you to the Mantra team for a fantastic experience. The food was amazing. Cooked and prepared to perfection from the starter to the dessert and just a beautiful setting all round. Great hosting and thank to Byron, our waiter, for the excellent service. We will definitely be back!!

    Most beautiful setting, really bad burger with a dense patty that was overcooked and tasted like boerewors with oily chips on a soggy bun. Go for the view but not for the food.

    Mantra Cafe is a firm family favourite of ours - both for its exceptionally good food and fabulous staff. A must visit for anyone who visits Cape Town and is in Camp Bay!
