CAMPS BAY RESTAURANTS:

BAYSIDE CAFÉ
Busy, unpretentious family spot for “functional food” set on the beach road. Inside is up (views) and downstairs, plain but “clean and breezy” with flat earth colours and white tables. “Geared to turnover”, the open-plan kitchen serves a broad spread of favourites to undemanding palates, with “very good value” specials off-season. “The grills are your best bet. A popular and reliable regular, though criticised for not looking clean.

BLUES
Having undergone another revamp to its menu, this "beachside institution" still struggles to regain its former reputation. With a superb setting overlooking Camps Bay beach, the interior is tranquil and comfortable in shades of blue and sand, and the open kitchen lends a modern touch. The menu, now "modern Italian" offers seafood dishes (like the "extravaganza"), many salads and also Italian favourites in the "Latin Quarter" section. The food is merely adequete, the service friendly. This legend now suffers from being soulless.

CAPE TOWN FISH MARKET
This is “Americanised” fish-in-every-form diner. The menu is “conventional”, “overwhelms with choice” with fish in every form from sushi to platter combinations; the interior is “noisy”, popular with families. Service is “quick, not obsequious”, and the menu curiously features a Customer Care Line.

CODFATHER
Popular informal fresh fish and sushi venue where the “market” concept is king. Choose your linefish or shellfish and your side orders from the counter, or take some sushi from the conveyor (you can sit at the belt). Praise for freshness is balanced by comments that “all the fish is given the Cajun treatment” and of the “very tired” side dishes. Tables are café style, the whole place is “very informal”, some say “scruffy”, “not what it used to be”. A covered balcony with views of the shopping mall and sea beyond.

PARANGA
The feel is island-style meets nightclub at this trendiod beachside spot, wooden desk under canvas, clean marble tiles and recessed lighting. Clubby music, splashes of colour from big flowers and whimsical, colourful art. The tables/seats are plush (some booths) and “the wine glasses are great!”. The food is similarly bright, big and showy: visual plating of modern standards - pastas, seafoods, salads and sushi. Reviews consistently suggest overpriced - no surprise considering position.

PRIMI PIATTI
Calls itself “urban energy” and goes for “loud and brash” tactics, this “precocious” chain of Italian places is vibrant and colourful, certainly “not relaxed”, “noisy”. Designed as “deconstructed construction sites”, the stock sits as décor with backlighting, the surfaces are hard, the seating cafe-style and the waiting staff are dressed in orange overalls. The hard-working menu features mainly pastas, pizza and salads, ciabatta for lighter meals, specialities on blackboards – all plates are “big” and the flavours are surprisingly, “bold and simple”.

SUMMERVILLE
No menus, the concept is “market” – one meat, one fish. You walk up to the counter and select your mats and what goes wit it – some enjoy this, others “don’t want to get up”. The environment is highly styled and contemporary with its sand, stone, swirls and textures, “very summery, beachy feel”. A long, carefully lit bar and deck seating (with sea views) plus inside tables on split levels. “Good selection of game”, “well-prepared seafoods” say some, others that the food is essentially “plain” and not worth the “hidden”, “fashionable” prices (the cost of a meal is in the weight).

TIDES
The place has a beach house theme, sand colours, steel and wicker “light and airy” but also “lacking atmosphere”, “bland hotel style” with “amazing” views of the sea. Split level, downstairs area “preferable” with “relaxing” booth seats. The menu works on a prix fixe concept, two or three courses, some items carry a surcharge. Flavours are Mediterranean/continental with seafood a large part of the menu, but questioned on deftness: “lacking subtlety”, “big portions, straightforward, sometimes dull, flavours”. Wines well priced.

TUSCANY BEACH CAFÉ
A brassy, bright, neon-lit patio belies the rather more classical interior of this beachside Italian. Still it is full of colour: booth seating, big windows and bright floral images – this “cramped” venue is cheerfull, cool and better suited to summer. The menu “tries to many things”, but patrons do like their way with pizza as well as seafood. An adjoining bar attracts the post-beach cocktail crowd.
