Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I had a friend from out of town and we ended up at Silo Rooftop for drinks. It was a perfect day and the views are spectacular. From the minute you get out there lift you are welcomed and treated like a friend by the staff. The prices do come at a slight premium because of this location, but still worth the experience."
"Set in one of the most picturesque locations in Cape Town, this spot is a must-visit for both tourists and locals. To avoid disappointment, be sure to book via DinePlan — sunset times are especially popular, so it’s worth securing your table well in advance. From the moment you exit the elevator, the service strikes the right balance between professionalism and friendly warmth. We were promptly shown to our table, and shortly after, our server arrived to take our drinks order. The menu is compact but well-curated, featuring snacks, bao buns, poke bowls, salads, paninis, and sandwiches. We opted for the Smash Burger, which was generously portioned with fries — hearty, satisfying, and well-prepared. To end off, we enjoyed the frosted brownie, which was a sweet and indulgent finish to the meal."
"An absolute wonderful lunchtime venue. Amazing service and mouth watering food. Seafood platter a must."
"Vibes were really nice and the drinks were very delicious. Portions for the appetisers were very small; however, they were really good, especially the edmame! People were very nice and welcoming. We really enjoyed the nice view at the sunset!"
"Everything is just soooo nice. The location and the view are stunning, the Stuff so friendly and polite, charming. Loved the food and the drinks. Reservation required, and that’s fine. Always nice to be back here."
"Visited this place recently and totally loved it! The view from the rooftop was incredible, service was really good and the vibes were honestly great! We ordered the soy edamame (really good), hummus platter (not bad, wouldn’t try again though), and drinks (really really good). Highly recommended!"
"Great food and even more amazing views. Worth a visit during your trip - but make sure to make a reservation way in advance."
"We came for a cocktail on the rooftop to enjoy the view and it did not disappoint at all. The service was great, the waiter helped us choose a drink and it was spot on. We had no food, which was not a problem at all. At no point did we feel any rush, it was just great! The views are of course outstanding. Perfect for sunset! We will definitely come back."
