Amare is a Mediterranean restaurant in Bantry Bay, Cape Town, serving dishes from early morning through dinner along Victoria Road. Our kitchen prepares Mediterranean plates alongside fresh breakfast items, pastas, and a curated wine and cocktail list, with outdoor seating available for guests dining with pets.
Upstairs, our Artisté lounge hosts live jazz music on Thursday and Friday evenings, offering crafted drinks and art in an open creative space.
Lovely cosy space, PERFECT for date night! OMG! Had the Amare signature spaghetti and IT WAS TO DIE FOR! All my friends wanted a piece of it!🤤🤌🏼 Great service & wine list! (stole a few pictures as they do not allow for pictures to be taken - love that btw)

My Brother booked a restaurant as a gift for my birthday, but they cancelled last minute due to a fire in the kitchen and we ended up by chance at Amare....
What a gem!! Chef Bongo's food was exquisite and our server, Andries was an absolute delight.
They also have a virtual gallery with beautiful paintings and the most incredible event space upstairs, I can just imagine what events I could host here for La Fiesta... 😋 It's time we move to Cape Town!!!! 🙃😉😂

Amare offers pet friendly seating on the outside! The service is amazing and waiters are so friendly. They have amazing breakfast, brunch and lunch options. They are situated on your way to Camps Bay and it really has a lovely atmosphere.

I booked with a link on their instagram, it was easy to book. The place is aesthetically pleasing and the staff are friendly and helpful. You are not allowed to take pictures at the entrance which I assume is to protect the privacy of others. There was live jazz music the day I dined there, it’s very refreshing. The noise level was moderate, the food wait time was okay. I had the rigatoni with chicken, it was delicious and the price and portion is fair , my partner had lamb chops which was quite expensive for the portion and the taste was just okay. I had carrot cake for dessert and it wasn’t that good . But the atmosphere and service all come together to make it a pleasant experience

I'm not one to be easily influenced, so when I kept seeing this place on my feed, I decided to give it a try. I must say that it was the best decision ever 👌
I did a dinner date with my friend and when I arrived the staff welcomed me and ushered me to the waiting area which was so beautiful. I love this concept compared to being sat at the bar or standing at the entrance for a table.
They have an extensive breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. They also offer hot, cold, alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. We had Brut Rosé which was recommended by our waiter, and he was spot on that we would really enjoy it.
We did restaurant week. We had the kingclip as starters, and it was absolutely delicious. I loved how it was cooked and garnished.
For the mains, we had the beef fillet, and it was cooked to perfection, and the sides that came with it complimented it very well. For dessert, I had the lemon posset and my friend and the poached pear. Both were very refreshing, and light.
I had an amazing experience, from the friendly staff, incredible food and overall beautiful atmosphere. I will be coming back soon, especially for the fireplace.
