Poor Poor Poor

Dear Owners of Mo-ZAM-bik Restaurant,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to express my disappointment following my recent visit to your restaurant on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. I had brought a colleague from Johannesburg to enjoy some fish at your establishment, but unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory.

Upon our arrival, we were shown to our table and waited for about 5 minutes without any service. I had to get the manager’s attention to receive our menus, and after another 5 minutes, a large group of 12 foreign guests was seated behind us, and we were disturbed by the noise they made. To my dismay, the waiters seemed to prioritize their service over ours, neglecting us entirely.

Eventually, we were asked for drink orders. When I requested a non-alcoholic beer, the waiter simply placed the bottle on the table without opening it, which felt dismissive.

Overall, the service and food quality were disappointing and left me with a feeling of inequity— as if, as locals, we did not receive the same level of service compared to foreign customers at the waterfront. It’s disheartening, given that we pay the same prices and tip generously as well.

As someone who values local businesses, this experience has left me feeling that we, as Cape Toniains, might need to consider boycotting the waterfront area where we should feel welcome and respected.

Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope you will address these issues to improve the experience for all your guests in the future.

Best regards,
