Dias Tavern

Always a fabulous evening, great food, good live band for atmosphere and authentic in everyway. Service was extremely poor as though understaffed, but once orders were taken, the food came out hot and delicous. Seemed a new way to serve very small sardines but was excellent, and the peri peri chick was as close to perfect , juicy , spicy ,crispy char grill- delicous.

Very nice food and great atmosphere. I went there for dinner on a busy Friday evening. The place was packed but our waitress still managed to get my party of six a table. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu 🤣 (see picture) and I gotta say, everything tasted great. There was not one thing we didn't like and the portions were fair. Stand outs for me were their juicy prawns and crispy calamari. Their chicken was nice too but some pieces were tough, just like their steak cubes. There was live performance that night and the whole place had a great vibe. After a while, they moved some tables away to open up the front of the restaurant into a dance floor.

Went there with several people , great experience, great live music, and service was good. Food was great, just the rice needed something, and the streak was overdone and chewy. But the prawns, calarami, fish and chicken were great tasting. Definitely worth it . Atmosphere was the highlight of the night with everyone joining in and dancing near the live band

A definite local gem in the heart of the city! So much old-world charm is packed into the restaurant that unfolds as the evening progresses. Unexpectedly, our evening with friends and family at Dias turned out as one of our favourite nights out while in Cape Town. The food, the vibe, the setting and the location make it a must visit when you're in town. Tip: Make a booking as it does get busy.

It was a nice experience, the Cheesecake was a bit disappointing though since I could definitely taste it was defrosted but the food made up for it all. Steak was delicious and would recommend the tentacles for a starter. It was quiet the afternoon but this place can get extremely busy and reservations are recommended for popular times.

Amazing considering the last time I had been back was 20 odd years ago. Fantastic in every detail. Brilliant menu and side specials. The wine is very well priced. The food as good if not better than I remember it and the toilets... yes the toilets were like your own at home. Clean and well maintained. Service fantastic. Well done Dias you guys were packed and never dropped the customer needs.
