    There was unfortunately way too much time between courses. We were a very large group yes, but had booked in advance and given the set menu I would assume some planning is involved to avoid having 40 mins break between courses. The food was blandly served on large round plates that were not even full. I'm not sure it is really value for money with a big group. The cost per person of a set menu could be much better spent on a regular meal plus drink. However, NV-80 is a stunning venue and an excellent meal for a regular-sized group.

    We really like the place. We love the mussels as starters. Service was excellent. It's a little pricy but worth it.

    We’ve had lots of great food in Cape Town but I’d say this was probably the best! Food was fantastic, we had the teriyaki salmon with mash and king prawns. Both were generous in portion size, perfectly cooked and well presented. Service was top notch, attentive and a good pace.
