As the sun sets over Mouille Point’s iconic promenade, Newport transforms from a relaxed daytime café into a vibrant seaside bistro. Established in 1997, this Cape Town institution blends effortless coastal charm with warm, attentive service and a menu designed for easy, elegant dining.

From wholesome breakfasts and fresh salads to artisanal sandwiches, hearty pastas, and bistro-style mains, every dish celebrates seasonal ingredients and honest flavour. The onsite bakery fills the air with the comforting aroma of freshly baked sourdough, pastries, and artisanal breads — all perfectly paired with expertly brewed coffee, fresh juices, or a curated selection of local wines.

Whether you’re meeting friends for a seaside breakfast, sharing a leisurely family lunch, or savouring dinner and cocktails as the Atlantic horizon glows at sunset, Newport offers a timeless dining experience that captures the true spirit of Cape Town.

With its relaxed sophistication and warm atmosphere Newport Restaurant & Deli remains a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike — a place where good food, good company, and the beauty of the Cape coast come together naturally.

    We’re regular daytime visitors and finally tried the dinner menu. It definitely did not disappoint! The calamari with rice and the pasta alla Genovese were both amazing and flavourful, the atmosphere was lovely as always, and the service was warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

    Wonderful experience. We had the grilled calamari with savoury rice, the beef sirloin carpaccio, Caesar salad, and the loaded hummus plate. Every dish was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great experience from start to finish. Staff went out of their way to cater for our gluten-free requirements, even with the schnitzels, which we really appreciated. The food was delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. Food and service were both 5/5. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality bistro-style dining experience.

    Very good food. Some hiccups with service but turned out fine. Maitre d a little in one’s face. Ambience fine until some idiot nearby decided to take a long call on speaker phone and we had to ask the staff to get her to desist, which they did. But surely they shouldn’t have needed our prompting?

    We were shocked to discover that your extra virgin oil is not what the bottle says! Clearly decanted thin ‘other’ oil. I have no doubt that many would notice the difference. Not cool!
