    We really had looked forward to a nice sunset experience at the Silo Rooftop. However, the service was really not great and the food was off and we had to send it back. For such a fancy establishment, finding mouldy grapes and having a dip that is rancid is really not great.

    Silo Rooftop Bar is just the right kind of experience to complete a culture and art walk tour, offering a truly refreshing perspective of Cape Town from one of the city’s most striking architectural landmarks. Perched atop The Silo Hotel at the V&A Waterfront, the rooftop creates a seamless transition from the creative energy of the Zeitz MOCAA and surrounding cultural spaces into a setting that feels elevated in every sense, visually, socially, and atmospherically. What makes the experience particularly memorable is the way the space captures the essence of Cape Town itself. From the rooftop, guests are treated to sweeping panoramic views that stretch across Table Mountain, the bustling harbour, the Atlantic Ocean, and the city skyline. As the light shifts throughout the afternoon and into sunset, the entire landscape transforms, creating a calm yet vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complements a day spent exploring art, design, history, and local culture. The care and attention given to every detail of the rooftop experience are immediately evident. From the sophisticated yet relaxed décor to the attentive hospitality and thoughtfully curated menu, the venue manages to feel both luxurious and welcoming without becoming pretentious. Comfortable seating areas, elegant finishes, ambient music, and carefully presented food and cocktails all contribute to an environment that encourages guests to slow down, reflect, and fully appreciate their surroundings. Beyond the spectacular setting, Silo Rooftop Bar also reflects Cape Town’s contemporary creative identity. It attracts a diverse mix of visitors, including local creatives, international travellers, professionals, and art enthusiasts, which adds to the cosmopolitan energy of the space. Whether enjoying a signature cocktail, sharing small plates with friends, or simply taking in the scenery, the rooftop becomes more than just a stop along the tour; it becomes part of the cultural experience itself.

    Atmosphere and service as good as it gets. Lisa, our server, was over and above most we have encountered. Limited food, but was not up to the standard we would have expected.

    Beautiful venue, views and service, (though somewhat inattentive). Food was great and cocktails interesting in all the right ways.
