Description

Strolling down Portswood Rd, you can’t ignore Stonebreakers Restaurant. Tucked in the heart of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, it’s a spot that pulls you in with its cozy charm and outdoor seating. Imagine eating your meal while soaking in views of Signal Hill—sounds pretty lovely, right?

Now, I’ve seen mixed reviews about the place. The food gets a thumbs-up from many, and I’ve heard whispers of a fantastic breakfast spread. A buffet that, when it’s on, leaves your belly happily full. Plus, who doesn’t appreciate good coffee with a meal?

But, here’s the kicker: Some folks mention service issues. Like, waiting too long for that poached egg or feeling like the staff’s attention is a bit too scarce. I mean, who wants to chase after service, especially when you’re in the mood to relax? It seems, at times, the vibe skews casual, but that can sometimes clash with expectations for a more upscale meal.

And here’s the thing: It’s a restaurant that looks good on paper—great for groups, and even welcoming to kids—yet not every experience hits the mark.

Still, you might just find yourself charmed by the atmosphere and the blend of locals and tourists buzzing about. Stonebreakers has potential to be a delightful experience. If you’re around the V&A Waterfront, it’s worth popping in. Just maybe double-check what you’re ordering at the front. You never know what could end up on your bill!
