Strolla Restaurant & Bar sits beside the Sea Point promenade at 313 Beach Road in Cape Town. It serves breakfast, coffee, casual lunch dishes, seafood, steak, sushi, desserts and drinks. This guide uses menu prices reviewed on 28 September 2026 and keeps temporary specials separate from the standard menu.
The menu suits different visits: an early breakfast, coffee after a promenade walk, a family lunch, sushi on the deck or a full dinner. The broad choice also makes ordering harder. Prices can rise quickly when diners add toppings, sauces, premium seafood and drinks, so the sections below explain what is included.
Strolla menu price overview
| Section | Current range |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | R70-R175 |
| Smoothies | R70-R105 |
| Salads and soup | R135-R195 |
| Pizza base and toppings | R115 plus R20-R80 |
| Bar snacks and sandwiches | R125-R185 |
| Starters | R115-R195 |
| Main courses | R165-R455 |
| Sushi | R60-R1,200 |
| Desserts | R95-R110 |
| Kids meals | R75-R115 |
| Hot drinks | R28-R80 |
A realistic food budget is R150 to R250 for breakfast or a casual meal, and R250 to R450 for a main with an extra or dessert. Premium steak, seafood platters, large sushi platters and alcohol take the total higher. Always confirm time-limited offers on the day.
Breakfast menu and prices
Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 11:15. Egg and Toast costs R70 and is the lowest-priced plated breakfast. Diners can choose poached, scrambled, boiled or fried eggs with brown, white or rye bread.
| Breakfast | Price |
|---|---|
| Egg and Toast | R70 |
| Strolla Omelette | R100 |
| Health Omelette | R125 |
| Breakfast Ciabatinni | R135 |
| Homemade Muesli | R135 |
| English Breakfast | R155 |
| Bacon Strolla Benedict | R155 |
| Salmon Strolla Benedict | R175 |
The Strolla Omelette contains cheddar, cherry tomatoes and ham. Extras cost R20 for spinach, R27 for mushrooms, R30 for avocado and R32 for bacon. A Strolla Omelette with avocado and bacon therefore costs R162.
The Health Omelette uses egg whites with spring onion, avocado, spinach and parmesan. Its name does not mean it suits every diet because it contains egg and dairy. The English Breakfast includes eggs, mushrooms, tomato, bacon, baked beans, beef sausage and potato rosti.
Strolla Benedict is served on a mini croissant with wilted spinach, poached egg and hollandaise. The salmon version costs R20 more than bacon. Homemade muesli comes with fruit, Bulgarian yoghurt and honey, so vegan diners need to ask about substitutions.
Smoothie prices
| Smoothie | Price |
|---|---|
| Kids Breakfast | R70 |
| Power Boost | R85 |
| Strolla | R95 |
| Protein | R95 |
| Green Machine | R105 |
Several smoothies contain milk, whey, peanut butter or cashews. The Strolla smoothie includes dates, cashews and protein powder; the Protein smoothie uses whey, milk and peanut butter. Tell staff about nut or dairy allergies rather than assuming a fruit drink is allergen free.
Soup, salad and poke prices
| Dish | Price |
|---|---|
| Hungarian goulash soup | R135 |
| Caesar salad | R135 |
| Sundried tomato quinoa | R185 |
| Calamari and avocado salad | R195 |
| Strolla poke bowl | R195 |
Chicken can be added to Caesar salad for R55 and prawns for R95, producing totals of R190 or R230. The standard Caesar contains parmesan, croutons and bacon. The quinoa dish includes roasted vegetables and herbed feta.
The poke bowl combines prawn, cucumber, edamame, carrot and avocado with a choice of salmon or tuna. Ask whether the selected fish is raw. Pregnant diners, young children, older adults and people with reduced immunity may need to avoid raw seafood under medical guidance.
Pizza prices and toppings
The current standard pizza listing starts with a Margherita at R115. Customers build it with toppings: spinach R20, caramelised onion R25, mushrooms or avocado R30, olives R35, artichoke or bacon R50, pulled pork or chorizo R65, and barbecue beef R80.
A Margherita with mushrooms and olives costs R180. Adding bacon and avocado produces R195. Barbecue beef and chorizo together raise it to R260. Gluten-free bases and vegan cheese are available at R35 each according to the main menu wording; confirm whether selecting both means two separate charges.
Gluten-free preparation does not automatically mean a separate oven, tools or flour-free surface. Diners with coeliac disease or serious allergies should ask how the base is stored and cooked. Vegan cheese also does not make meat toppings or every sauce vegan.
Bar snacks, tacos and sandwiches
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Chilli poppers | R125 |
| Fish tacos | R135 |
| Club sandwich | R175 |
| Beef or chicken burger | R180 |
| Spicy nachos | R185 |
| Steak sandwich | R185 |
Nachos include feta, peppered cream cheese, tomato chutney and guacamole. Chicken adds R55 and pulled pork R70, bringing the totals to R240 or R255. Fish tacos use miso-marinated white fish and kimchi mayonnaise.
The burger includes mature cheddar. Optional bacon is R35, caramelised onion R25, avocado R30, fried egg R12 and jalapeño R15. A burger with bacon, avocado and egg costs R257. Confirm whether fries are included in the restaurant version when ordering.
The steak sandwich comes on a Portuguese roll with rocket, mustard and gherkin, plus homemade crisps. The club sandwich includes bacon, egg and chicken with onion rings and crisps. These are substantial choices compared with poppers or tacos.
Starter prices
| Starter | Price |
|---|---|
| Peri-peri chicken livers | R115 |
| Spanish mussels | R135 |
| Asian-spiced fishcakes | R150 |
| Deep-fried squid tentacles | R155 |
| Trio of oysters | R160 |
| Pulled-pork croquettes | R160 |
| Beef trinchado | R160 |
| Gambas al ajillo | R185 |
| Kingklip goujons | R195 |
Chicken livers and mussels include bread or polenta chips, while beef trinchado comes with garlic toasties. The oyster trio presents three preparations. Raw shellfish carries different food-safety considerations from a fully cooked starter, so ask staff what each oyster preparation involves.
The Greek-style mezze platter costs R460 and combines lamb koftas, smoked chicken satays, prawns, cauliflower koftas, halloumi, artichoke, sweet-potato fries and dips. The Strolla vegetable platter is R295 with samosas, poppers, caprese calzone, vegetable fries, hummus and lentil dip.
For four people, the mezze platter averages R115 each before mains. It contains meat, seafood, dairy and likely gluten, so it is unsuitable for a mixed-allergen table without careful guidance. The vegetable platter still includes dairy and fried components.
Main course prices
| Main | Price |
|---|---|
| Vegan noodle stir-fry | R165 |
| Artichoke and ricotta ravioli | R185 |
| Lamb Rogan Josh | R240 |
| Pan-fried line fish | R295 |
| Sirloin, 300 g | R320 |
| Fillet, 300 g | R395 |
| Grilled prawns | R198 or R395 |
| Seafood platter | R455 |
The vegan noodle stir-fry includes sesame tofu and vegetable chips. Chicken adds R50 and beef R85, making the dish R215 or R250. Once meat is added, it is no longer vegan. Ask about the noodles and sauces if gluten is a concern.
Ravioli comes with spinach puree, sage butter and pine nuts. Line fish includes warm bean salad, linguine and manchego almond pesto. These descriptions show dairy, nuts and gluten; substitutions may change the intended dish.
The two grilled-prawn prices appear to represent different portions, but the online menu does not clearly label the counts. Ask whether R198 is a half portion and how many prawns arrive at each price. The seafood platter combines prawns, kingklip, mussels, calamari and squid tentacles.
Fillet and sirloin include a sauce and side. Portuguese versions cost the same but add chorizo cassoulet, fat chips and a poached egg. Sauce choices include mushroom or green peppercorn at R45 and bone-marrow butter or chimichurri at R55 when ordered separately.
Side prices
Sweet-potato fries cost R30, potato wedges R38 and a side Greek salad R50. Glazed baby carrots with yoghurt and almonds are R58, while broccolini with parmesan and lemon zest is also R58.
Vegetable sides are not automatically dairy or nut free. Carrots include yoghurt and almonds; broccolini includes parmesan. Shared fryers may expose fries and wedges to gluten or seafood. Ask about preparation when an allergy matters.
Sushi menu prices
Six-piece maki costs R95 with salmon, tuna or prawn and R60 with avocado. Eight-piece California rolls cost R120 with salmon, tuna or prawn and R95 with vegetables. Eight-piece tuna Rainbow Roll is R125.
Five salmon or tuna roses cost R130. Four-piece salmon, tuna or prawn nigiri costs R120. Four-piece sashimi costs R145 for salmon or tuna. Four-piece bamboo rolls cost R120 with seafood and R65 with avocado.
Signature prawn-and-salmon roses cost R165 for four pieces, while the prawn-and-salmon Spider roll costs R170. A premium oyster with classic mignonette is R40 each. Sake prices should be treated as drinks rather than sushi food prices.
Sushi platter prices
| Platter | Pieces | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kawasaki | 12 | R295 |
| Hiroshima | 16 | R295 |
| Kyoto | 12 | R395 |
| Kobe | 24 | R440 |
| Kobe salmon only | 24 | R480 |
| Osaka | 30 | R520 |
| Osaka salmon only | 30 | R560 |
| Tokyo | 60 | R1,100 |
| Tokyo salmon only | 60 | R1,200 |
Hiroshima and Kawasaki have the same price but different counts because the composition differs. Kobe works out to about R18.33 per piece, Osaka about R17.33 and Tokyo about R18.33. Salmon-only versions add R40 to R100.
Piece price is only a rough comparison. Sashimi, nigiri and signature rolls can use more fish or labour than basic maki. Ask what each platter contains and whether substitutions change the price.
Keep raw sushi cold and eat it promptly. Soy, sesame, shellfish, mayonnaise, dairy and gluten may appear in sauces or rolls. Vegetable sushi can still share knives, mats and counters with raw fish.
Dessert and kids prices
| Dessert | Price |
|---|---|
| Surprise cheesecake | R95 |
| Salted caramel log | R95 |
| Apple and blackberry crumble | R95 |
| Warm pina colada pudding | R98 |
| Belgian dark-chocolate dessert | R110 |
Kids meals cost R75 for margherita pizza or macaroni and cheese, R100 for a hot dog or build-your-own pizza, R105 for chicken strips or a burger, and R115 for calamari and chips. Kids waffles cost R60 or R95, and small or large milkshakes cost R50 or R65.
Parents should ask about fish bones, hot plates, allergens and the rules for the play area. The venue states that children under ten may use the kids area after a parent signs an indemnity.
Coffee, cold drinks and juice prices
Espresso costs R28, Americano or cortado R32, cappuccino R35 and flat white R38. Latte, iced latte, mocha and dirty chai are R40 to R42. Chai latte is R44, flavoured drinks and frappes R45, and a matcha drink is R80. Alternative milk adds R10.
Soft drinks cost R29 for 200 ml and R38 for 330 ml. Juice is R25, water R30 for 500 ml or R49 for one litre, and Appletiser or Grapetiser R53. Milkshakes are R55. Fresh pressed juices range from R75 to R98; a custom four-fruit juice costs R90.
A morning coffee promotion advertises R25 coffee before 09:00, but the qualifying drink and availability should be confirmed. Promotions may change without the standard menu changing.
Budget examples
A Strolla Omelette and cappuccino total R135. An English Breakfast with Americano costs R187. Salmon Benedict with a fresh juice can cost R250 to R273 depending on the drink.
At lunch, fish tacos and a 330 ml soft drink total R173. A burger with avocado and a milkshake totals R265. Vegan noodles with an R85 pressed juice total R250.
For dinner, sirloin and a R45 sauce total R365 if the sauce is not already included; confirm before adding it. Line fish plus cheesecake costs R390. The seafood platter plus two R53 cold drinks totals R561.
Four people can share the R460 mezze platter, order two R320 sirloins, one R240 lamb curry and one R165 noodle dish for R1,505. That is R376.25 each before drinks and service. A sushi group sharing a Tokyo platter pays R275 each before extras.
Vegetarian, vegan and allergen notes
Vegetarian options include the Health Omelette, quinoa salad, Margherita pizza, vegetable platter, ravioli, vegetable sushi and several sides. Vegan choices include the noodle stir-fry and potentially pizza with vegan cheese, subject to preparation and toppings.
Major allergens occur throughout the menu: seafood and shellfish, dairy, egg, gluten, sesame, peanuts and tree nuts. Pine nuts appear with ravioli, almonds with line fish and carrots, and nuts or protein powders appear in smoothies.
Tell staff the exact allergy and ask about shared fryers, grills, pizza tools and sushi equipment. A dish can omit a visible ingredient while its sauce or preparation still contains the allergen.
Location, hours and ordering
Strolla is at 313 Beach Road, Sea Point, beside the Peninsula All-Suite Hotel. The venue lists café hours from 07:00 to 19:00, restaurant hours from 07:00 to 23:00 and bar hours from 11:00 to 23:00. Kitchen sections may close earlier.
Book ahead for weekends, sunset seating or a large group. Mention indoor or deck preference, accessibility, children and dietary needs when reserving. Weather can affect outdoor seating.
For takeaway, confirm the restaurant menu rather than the separate pool or room-service menu. Room service has its own scope and surcharge. Sushi and fried food should be collected close to eating time.
How to choose breakfast for appetite and budget
Egg and Toast is the clearest light breakfast because it keeps the ingredients and price simple. The Strolla Omelette is a middle option, while the English Breakfast is designed for a larger appetite. Comparing only the base price can be misleading when an omelette receives several extras.
For example, the R100 Strolla Omelette becomes R179 after avocado, mushrooms and bacon. That is R24 more than the English Breakfast and R4 more than salmon Benedict. Choose additions for taste rather than assuming an omelette with extras remains the cheaper plate.
Muesli can feel lighter, but it contains yoghurt and honey and may provide a substantial portion. A smoothie alongside it adds R70 to R105. If breakfast is followed by lunch soon afterwards, coffee or juice may be more suitable than a second full item.
Breakfast service ends at 11:15. Arriving near the changeover can limit preparation time, so confirm that the kitchen is still accepting breakfast orders. A table seated before the cutoff may not automatically receive the breakfast menu after it closes.
How to plan lunch without over-ordering
For a quick lunch, one burger, sandwich, salad or noodle dish should normally be treated as the main item. Chilli poppers and fish tacos suit smaller appetites or sharing. Nachos become a more complete dish when chicken or pork is added, but the total then reaches R240 to R255.
Two diners can share chilli poppers at R125 and order a burger at R180 and vegan noodles with chicken at R215. Their food subtotal is R520, or R260 each. Replacing the starter with fish tacos adds R10, while adding two soft drinks increases the bill by R58 to R76 depending on size.
A salad is not always the lightest in price or ingredients. The R195 calamari salad includes fried seafood, and Caesar contains bacon, parmesan and croutons before any extra protein. The R185 quinoa dish provides a meat-free alternative but still contains feta.
When time is limited, tell staff before ordering and ask which dishes can be prepared promptly. Steak doneness, large platters and a sequence of shared starters can take longer than a sandwich or salad. Do not rely on a fixed preparation time during busy service.
Building a balanced dinner
A conventional dinner can use one starter for every two diners, followed by individual mains. Spanish mussels at R135 and beef trinchado at R160 create variety without choosing two fried dishes. A table can then split between seafood, curry, pasta and steak.
For two diners, mussels at R135, line fish at R295, lamb curry at R240 and one cheesecake at R95 produce a R765 food subtotal. That is R382.50 each before drinks and service. Sharing the dessert reduces waste if both diners only want a taste.
A vegetarian pair could share the R295 vegetable platter, then order ravioli at R185 and vegan noodles at R165. The subtotal is R645. This is likely a generous amount of food because the platter itself includes several components. Ordering the platter first and deciding on mains afterwards may be more sensible.
Steak diners should check whether the included sauce and side already satisfy the plate. Adding a second sauce and vegetable side can add R75 to R113. For fillet, that can take the plate from R395 to more than R500 without a drink.
Comparing seafood choices
The R198 and R395 prawn portions need confirmation because the current online menu shows two prices without a count. The smaller option may suit one diner, while the larger could be shared, but customers should not infer quantity from price alone.
Line fish at R295 includes linguine and a warm bean salad, making it a composed main. The R455 seafood platter offers more variety with prawns, kingklip, mussels, calamari and squid tentacles. It is useful for a diner who enjoys every component, but less practical when shellfish is avoided.
Starter seafood ranges from oysters to fried squid and kingklip goujons. Ordering a seafood starter before a seafood platter repeats similar flavours. A vegetable starter, soup or trinchado can provide contrast.
Shellfish allergies require direct discussion with staff. Prawns, mussels, oysters, calamari and fish are prepared in the same broad kitchen. Separate ingredients do not guarantee separate fryers, utensils or grills.
Understanding sushi portion sizes
Maki contains six pieces, California and Rainbow rolls contain eight, and most nigiri, sashimi, bamboo and signature items contain four or five. A price comparison should therefore use both the style and the number of pieces.
A six-piece salmon maki at R95 costs about R15.83 per piece. Eight salmon California pieces at R120 cost R15 each. Four salmon sashimi pieces at R145 cost R36.25 each because sashimi is fish without rice and normally uses a larger fish portion per piece.
One person wanting a moderate sushi meal might combine avocado maki at R60 with four salmon nigiri at R120, totalling R180 for ten pieces. A larger appetite could choose the sixteen-piece Hiroshima platter at R295. The platter also offers more styles than two basic rolls.
For three or four diners, Kobe or Osaka can be shared as one part of the meal. Twenty-four Kobe pieces at R440 average six pieces each across four diners. Thirty Osaka pieces at R520 average ten each across three diners. Add another dish only after considering the group’s appetite.
Planning drinks and the final bill
Non-alcoholic drinks can add R25 to R98 per person. Four cappuccinos add R140, while four premium fresh juices can add nearly R400. Water by the litre may be the simplest shared choice, but confirm how many glasses the table needs.
Wine, cocktails, beer and spirits sit outside the food budgets used in this guide. Bottle prices vary widely, and premium Champagne can cost far more than the meal. Ask for the current drinks list and confirm bottle size and vintage before ordering.
Check the bill for toppings, alternative milk, side dishes, extra sauces and repeated drinks. For a group, ask whether a service charge has already been applied. When splitting the bill, include shared platters and tips rather than dividing only individual mains.
Seasonal specials and price changes
Strolla promotes seasonal menus and themed nights. Recent curry nights have advertised set curry prices, but a social-media post does not guarantee that the offer runs every week. Confirm the date, serving hours, included accompaniments and booking rules.
Daily fish, cheesecake selection and produce can change according to supply. A replacement ingredient may affect allergens as well as taste. Ask about the current version when the menu says “today’s selection” or when a dish depends on seasonal seafood.
The venue also has pool and room-service menus. Those menus can contain a smaller selection, different prices and a surcharge. A price seen for restaurant dining should not be assumed to apply to a hotel room order or pool service.
Practical notes for families and groups
The kids menu allows families to choose familiar pasta, pizza, chicken, burgers or calamari. Build-your-own pizza costs more than the plain kids pizza but adds an activity. Confirm which toppings are included and whether the activity is available during the chosen service.
Parents remain responsible for children in the play area and must follow the venue’s access rules. A table close to the area may be useful, but it should be requested when booking because availability is limited.
For celebrations, ask about cakes, decorations, deposits and table time before arrival. If several guests have dietary needs, send the venue a clear list in advance and repeat the requirements to the server. Advance notice helps the kitchen explain what it can safely prepare.
