Stunning views, refined yet laid back cuisine and trendy style are some of the words that describe Mantra Café. It’s a chic beachside restaurant and bar situated on Camps Bay’s lively Victoria Road.
Located on the first floor of a contemporary glass building, Mantra Café ranked number 1 in the “Top 10 restaurants with a view in Camps Bay” by Trip Advisor, and it’s no wonder why because it offers unobstructed, breathtaking views of Camps Bay’s famous beach.
Mantra Café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as a variety of cocktails in a stylish bar which menu includes the signature Mantra Gin Fizz.
There are so many reasons why you should visit this stunning restaurant but I am going to give you the 5 most important:
- Stunning views
- Delicious food
- Tasty drinks
- Chic Style
- Perfect location

1. Stunning views
On the one hand, if you are visiting Cape Town, Camps Bay beach is a touristic hot spot that you cannot miss. And from Mantra Café, you can have a complete and stunning view of the beach.
On the other hand, if you are a Capetonian deciding where to watch the sunset, Mantra Café is undoubtedly an excellent option because you will be able to watch the sunset in a comfortable environment with good music, a cup of wine, and great vibes. Sounds good right?

2. Delicious food
Perfect for having a family dinner, celebrating an anniversary or having a quick snack after work, the Mantra Café menu is very complete. Covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner you have many options to choose from. From hamburgers and pizza to pork belly and sirloin.
In addition, if you have any dietary requirements, the restaurant is vegetarian and vegan-friendly and there are gluten-free options.
3. Tasty drinks
Have you met someone special and want to have a romantic date? Or do you want to catch up with a friend you haven’t seen in a long time? At Mantra Café you can have a mojito, margarita, cosmopolitan, daiquiri, or any other option of their extensive cocktail menu.
There is also a selection of wines, champagne, craft beers and drafts available.
4. Chic Style
I loved the modern and elegant decoration of the Mantra Café; especially at night, when the ceiling lights are shining, a very pleasant atmosphere is created.
Definitely a very instragramable place!
5. Perfect location
After your visit to Mantra Café, there are lots of things you can do in the area. If you don’t count swimming – water temperature in the Atlantic is cold; Camps Bay beach is perfect for sunbathing, playing volleyball, eating ice cream, or just enjoying the spectacular views of the Twelve Apostles mountain range.

Looks like a really amazing place! Love that they’re veggie friendly, I hate when I go somewhere & feel like I don’t have options.
Look at that lovely place! Good food plus yummy drinks and a very magnificent view is a really perfect spot!
