It was so good, I had to eat the plankton risotto for lunch again the next day. 10/10 for the Scallops & Plankton Risotto. Big thanks to Markus and the Somm Team for the amazing wines & service. If you're a foodie, you need to try this at least once in your life.

An excellent experience. Usually seafood in South Africa is not an amazing experience but tonight was sublime. The taste combinations showed real delicacy. Normally oysters are better without accompaniment, but here they were enhanced by their sauces. And that remained true for the other dishes too. I'll definitely return.

A fantastic dining experience. The plankton risotto was unforgettable - rich, savoury, and unlike anything I've had before. The tuna schnitzel was another standout, perfectly cooked with a delicate crispness. Warm, knowledgeable service and a beautiful atmosphere made the whole experience feel special. We celebrated both my sister’s birthday and mine together, which made it even more meaningful. Highly recommend.

Great eve at Amura last night. Went for the chef's menu and wine pairing. Really tasty range of flavours and textures across the dishes, thoughtfully curated. Wines excellent. Service very attentive.

We recently dinned at Amura during our stay in Capetown and this was hands down our best dining experience during our stay. If you like sea food, and fine dining then don’t sleep on this! We ordered off the menu rather than did the trust the chef as there was so much we wanted to try! And all of it did not disappoint. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was wonderful. If I was ever in Capetown again I would be going back more than once! We spent R3400 for 7 starters, 1 shared main,1 vegetable dish, 2 desserts, 3 drinks each and tip. We thought the price was extremely reasonable for the quality, the presentation, flavours and experience - particularly Meares to other much lesser dining experiences we did for the same or much higher price point.
