I love this place! I panicked when I saw the Cape Town Cafe sign come down, but they still have my favorite dishes on the new menu. I have been in the US much more of my life than I was in SA, but this is still comfort food all the way.

Food was delicious, with a mix of dishes from South Africa and the old standards of American diner fare. Nice selection of craft beer (I had a Fou' Apricot Kettle Sour) and cocktails, spacious seating area, and gracious service.

So you know. They are changing their name officially in October, but already have the signage that has the current/old name. It will now be called something like the Malt Bar or something similar.
They are under new ownership, but they told me they are keeping a lot of their current South African fusion recipes. That makes me happy since I about Ely LOVE their peri peri wings and chicken quarters! Beware, they are pretty hot, but soooo worth the pain! If I were to host a party that warranted chicken wings, I would order these for it when I wanted something different.
Their desserts are also in point. I have tried all of them in the past, and I have to say their brandy tart is my favorite. They give you a generous amount, too, and is easily shared between about 2-3 people.
Seriously, if you want to try something different, this restaurant is a great place to go in the Miramar area. They don't disappoint

Love, love, love the NEW owner of CapeTown Restaurant - welcoming, friendly, (...what a pleasant change from previous owner!)
We had a table of 17, great service & the food came out hot. Everyone had their South African favorite. The steak sandwich I had was awesome & I can highly recommend the signature lamb curry. We had two vegetarian family members who enjoyed the vegetable bunny chows & the potato samosas (off the Sampler Platter). The Sampler Platter is a good deal - a taste of most of the popular South African foods - meat pie, sausage roll, boerewors, & peri peri chicken. On the gourmet chicken & mushroom pie I overheard the comment, "I want one of these pies every day!"
My son in law enjoyed the beer on tap & for me the vanilla cream soda on tap is a great substitute for the "original" South African Spar-letta cream soda.
I'll definitely be back soon for the Sample Platter & to try out new dishes that are going to be added to the menu.

Great selection of the best local brews. And amazing meal to match. South Africas popular dishes. This place stands alone in unique food/drink for San Diego.

Came here for dinner followed by a comedy show. I thought I'd try the BUNNY CHOW, both because of the name, and also because it sounded the most uniquely South African. I heard it's quite popular in Durban. Well, when they tell you that you have a loaf of bread filled with curry, I imagined something like a baguette or bread bowl. Something round and crusty. Nope, this was like a proper store-bought loaf of bread with a hole dug out the middle!
It was yummy, and I think everyone else around me enjoyed their dinners as well.
The comedy show was fun, too!
Casual atmosphere, kind of a random location out by the furniture stores!

Very interesting restaurant. The menu is unique and the service is great. We went here for plant nite (an event that was organized here), and had a great time. The meat and mushroom pie was particularly good!
