baia Seafood Restaurant, Cape Town > Reviews (1)

During my 7 night stay in Cape Town I experienced some amazing foods, however my boyfriend and I decided on BAIA for his birthday where we would have the full works.

Located in the Victoria Wharf, Victoria and Albert Waterfront this is easily accessible from nearby hotels and there are plenty of taxi services to drive you there should you not fancy the walk.

BAIA (known as bay) Is a seafood resaurant although there is not just seafood dishes to choose from as there is a wide menu ranging from oysters, lobster, langoustines, chicken, steak and a wide variety of fish.

There is an indoor seating area which easily accommodates up to 110 people and there is an amazing outdoor terrace with heaters should the temperature feel cool as it was during our visit in May, outdoors could seat up to 200 pax and had an amazing outlook of Table Mountain and the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

There is something for everyone in the menu although there is so much to choose from I could not remember to list them all.

Restaurant is smart dress and appear to be very upmarket. The staff are extremely friendly and take the time to explain the dishes to you and to ensure that you are aware of the specials available.

Indoors the restaurant is non-smoking, but outside smoking is permitted.

Inside there was soft lighting and set a very romantic setting and made it the perfect location for a birthday feast.

We had a 3 course meal which consisted of Salmon, Oysters, Lobster, Chicken, Chocolate Cake and a Cheeseboard. 2 Aperitifs once we were seated at our table and then a bottle of wine during our meal and this only came to just over GBP60.00 which is a great price when you take in the foods that we had and the wine we also had.

Baia is open for both Lunch (12PM-3PM) and Dinner (7pm-11pm).

We passed this restaurant a few times before and it always looked busy and I have always gone on the impression that if the restaurant is busy then it must be a good choice so we decided to prebook as we were visiting on the weekend, on the night we made our visit is was fairly busy and it was a relief that we had booked.

This restaurant is very cosmpolitan and was filled with younger clientle and was bustling with conversation and laughter, I would rate this as one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in and I got the opportunity to eat some of the best seafood ever!!!
