Paranga

Paranga Review

Attracting models and folks hoping to spot celebrities along Camps Bay's beach strip, Paranga is a high-attitude, stylish vantage point and an acceptable place to eat. The terrace is shaded by a Bedouin-style tarpaulin. It's mostly popular with locals for a leisurely weekend breakfast, as the place can get very warm by lunchtime. A wide selection of salads will appeal to most palates. Start with the goat-cheese cake served inside crispy deep-fried kataifi (Greek-style shredded phyllo dough) with a spicy chili jam. Kingklip is served with a pineapple salsa, while burgers get fusion treatment with garlic aioli and tomato salsa. The balsamic marinated fillet is deliciously tender. The lounge-style music selection is a focal point, and, as at Ibiza's famed seafront Café del Mar, it's available to purchase. Check menu prices carefully, as some are out of kilter. Reservations are essential for summertime dinners.
