Event information
Grand Africa Café & Beach brings laid-back, feet-in-the-sand energy to the edge of the V&A Waterfront with broad Atlantic views, eclectic decor, and a playlist built for sunset. The sprawling indoor-outdoor space mixes bohemian touches with nautical accents, spreading across a beachy terrace dotted with daybeds, parasols, and shaded tables for long, lazy lunches that spill into golden hour.
The menu tracks Mediterranean-coastal sensibilities with South African inflections. Think wood-fired pizzas, seafood platters stacked with prawns and line fish, fresh salads, and grilled classics, plus crowd-pleasing desserts. A rosé-forward wine list and summery cocktails anchor the drinks program, joined by local bubbles, crisp whites, and a selection of spirits for spritzes and long drinks.
Afternoons lean casual with families and groups; later the mood shifts to upbeat, with DJs or curated playlists easing into the evening. Bookings are recommended for weekends and sunny days, especially for front-row beach seating. Service is relaxed and friendly, and staff can accommodate celebrations or larger parties with advance notice. Parking is available in nearby Waterfront garages, with rideshares dropping close to the entrance.
