Real Traveler reviews for Cafe Manhattan

More information on Cafe Manhattan

De Waterkant used to be a Cape Malay neighbourhood, until the apartheid government forcibly removed its inhabitants in the 1960s. Today, the area is Cape Town's gay center and this popular gay-friendly eating and drinking place offers various tasty dishes and a wide array of drinks. It offers a great social vibe, with tasteful decorating. Inexpensive American food is the order of the day, like the Statue of Liberty's fish choice of the day or Madison Square Lamb chops. Booking is recommended.Takeaway available.
