good food and setting... terrible service and noise.

we waited ages to be seated, had to go and find our own umbrella after being given the assurance that one will be 'sorted out' for our table which was in full sun.

children are allowed to make an enormous racket on the djembe drums on display. with so many modern parents not giving a damn about the impact their brats have on other diners, the restaurant should at least ensure that they don't provide them the opportunity to destroy kirstenbosch's tranquillity completely.

indeed, a memorable highlight at kirstenbosch garden moyo restaurant, packed with hundreds of people, queuing for the all-you-can-eat traditional south african cuisine was quite a thing. nonetheless, the setting and atmosphere was a stunner, the food was not too bad and more cannot be expected from the service. also, the spacious inside eating area and the outside shaded by trees area where we dined, the tribal style face painting by the staff, the african music and native dancing captured the essence at moyo as a memorable and unique dining and travel venture.

well priced buffet breakfast; everything you could want from pastries, scones, eggs & cereals to real meat....huge steaks available!! beautiful and tranquil environment. only down side for some may be the kirstenbosch entry fee. fortunately we have an annual family membership. we'll definitely go again. looking forward to trying the lunch buffet.

i suppose i shouldn't be shocked that a restaurant with international clientele does not have any plant-based options in 2016. at least the location is good, one can't become too irate in the midst of such beautiful gardens.

great outing for the whole family. food is good, nice play area which can be viewed from your table. singing, drums, face painting & great ambience. the service is a tad bit slow but the restaurant is quite big and busy so it's expected.

the decor is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. for a restaurant that wasn't packed (just after the lunch rush and housing less than a third of capacity), the service was a very slow. our server finished his shift (or went on lunch) during our meal and finding someone to give us a bill was very difficult. they all kept just walking past and looking away when i tried to call them over.
the food was delicious. i tried crocodile for the first time and really enjoyed it. beef koftas were delicious and the butternut rice cakes were yummy.

after a long walk through the gardens in the heat of the day, my friend and i decided that we needed daiquiris.
the setting and decor at this moyo are lovely and our waitress was very sweet and helpful. some of the other staff were quite surly and unwilling to help.
i had the mango daquiri and my friend had the strawberry one. both were delicious. standard cocktail prices of r55 a daquiri, maybe a bit expensive but they were large as well.
the food coming out around us looked great so would definitely give it a try next time.

ohhhh where do i start? a great venue, i took my wife there for our 2 year anniversary and we both loved it.. it started a bit shaky with them stuffing up our booking, but was rectified quickly by byron, the manager.. the food was excellent and the whole african vibe was really felt.. i recommend the kebab skewer(chicken,beef and ostrich in one skewer), very tasty and full of flavour..
they paint our faces and sang for us by our table. overall great, the prices is a bit steep, but it's worth it, portions are generous.. shylet was a great waitress, really looked after us..

gorgeous restaurant. assisted greatly by the backdrop of kirstenbosch gardens. i had the moroccan lamb shank sandwich. the lamb didn't disappoint however, the bread was disappointing. homemade loaf but wasn't toasted, that lamb deserved a better vessel. chose to eat the meat with the side of fries alone. mum had the vetkoek with ostrich mince, but vetkoek was more of a roll, slightly stodgy and dense. rest of the menu looks great though and would definitely return!

after spending a couple of hours walking around, we were exhausted. my boyfriend and i had never been to moyo before so we were in for a treat. i had the vegetable tangine and my boyfriend had fish and chips. both meals were lovely. the environment is a peaceful and intimate one.

met a few friends for brunch. i doubt i'll be going back. the views are, of course awesome, in that respect kirstenbosch gardens always deliver. to have to pay r50 to get into the restaurant was a bit of a shock but we went for a walk around the gardens afterward so no foul i suppose.

anyway, to the dining experience. the staff could not be faulted, friendly, courteous and available. the food, however, was disappointing. i had the breakfast tagine. it was tasteless and looked a mess. the beef sausage was dry and overcooked. it tasted as bad as it looks in the picture. there was a total lack of seasoning. such a shame as the restaurant showed such promise to start.

the coffee was good and well done by the barista otherwise the score would be even lower!

went here for breakfast about 3 weeks ago and i must say i was a bit disappointed. don't get me wrong, the location in the gardens is amazing and the service couldn't be better but the food was not very appertising. the bread was dry and crumbly, i couldn't even put butter on it without it falling apart. only had watery scrambles as an egg choice and smoked trout instead of salmon (food snob 🙈). the steak and sausage was great and i don't eat this for breakfast but was happy to eat theirs. they also had good coffee. the whole breakfast are was very cold despite tye fire blazing in the fireplace. all in all - average. maybe lunch or supper is better... will give it a try.

friendly staff and really good service. the foreigners absolutely love it. but it isn't a correct portrayal of 'african cuisine'. the food could be better. sweet potato and biltong soup way too thick and sweet. chicken kebab was good.
