We went big and had dishes from every section of the menu (it was just the 2 of us) and Mackniel paced the courses nicely so we didn't receive all the dishes together. The only thing that put a downer in the evening was witnessing the general manager telling team members off quite rudely in front of the pass and guests. Despite this, food was great as was our waiter! read less

We had dinner at Haiku about 5 years ago during a previous visit to Cape Town. We were pleasantly surprised that both food and service are still consistently great! A special mention about the professionalism, customer-orientation, warmth and kindness of Melissa! She contributed hugely to making our dinner experience really enjoyable. To such an extent that we have decided to come back next week, before we fly back to Europe. read less

Haiku is definitely my happy place.... their preparation of food is an art. It will literally transport your taste buds to a magical place. I personally prefer their tapas than mains because you get to try a range of different things and they portion sizes are still decent for tapas. The Tom yum soup is exquisite! So is their Lamb Xiu Jao (excuse the spelling) and the prawn toast! I've so really enjoyed the mushroom and lamb potstickers.... everyone needs to try this place at least once. read less
