We visited "Flava Cafe" with friends and it was a lovely, happy experience!! We sat inside as it was a bit chilly that evening but it is really lovely sitting outside on the upstairs deck when it is warm. As we have a guesthouse, we often send our guests to "Flava" and they always enjoy their meals. A great deal... More

I can hardly find words to describe the freshness of the food, the friendlyness of staff and kitchen chef Jaques (who came to our table to hear how our dinner was), the creativeness in interior design (everything fitted so well together it was a pleasure to look at), and most of all the great taste!! The Flava team does definitely... More

Nice and casual daytime café located in the Wilderness village. Offering coffees, cakes, light lunches, etc. They also run an adjoining fish shop selling excellent fish and chips for lunch time take-aways. Same owners as The Girls, share the same kitchen, so food quality is excellent.

Everything about our meal here was just a bit off; well-intentioned and OK, but so many things about the service and the food just seemed a little amateurish. It was as if it was our waitress' first night and she had only the faintest idea of what a waitress should do - forgot menus for 10 minutes, didn't pour water,... More

Not saying that Flava is only good for Sunday lunch, but it is probably one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had! The thing that impressed us most is that we pitched up only looking for coffee at around 11am, although the place was filling up with a lot of 'locals' (from George) for lunch, yet we were... More

We are regulars at Flava and always enjoy it. The food is beautifully prepared and presented, with an array of flavours - really top class. The staff are friendly, warm and helpful. Thank you for always looking after us - it is much appreciated!

Wilderness has some good restaurants. I wanted to eat at The Girls, but they weren't open yet, being only 5pm, so I went around the corner to Flava Cafe. I started with a Moroccan Prawn salad. I don't know why I order prawn dishes, I am inevitably disappointed with the small, previously frozen things most SA restaurants serve. I guess... More

We enjoyed a late lunch at one of the upstairs tables. We had chicken with Piri Piri sauce (so good we purchased a couple of bottles to bring home!) and a burger. Both we delicious. The staff were friendly and there was a nice relaxed feel, no pressure to hurry. A fun place to sit and watch the world go... More
