Seriously? I do not understand others great reviews about "Saveur", word that stands in French for Flavour and Taste... Perhaps the owners, Rob & Patrick need to review their Chef's cooking... But let's start positively, relatively nice setting, views of the harbor and sea, the staff is welcoming and pleasant. We ordered the Asiette and Catch of the day. Now the Asiette's Cob was nicely executed so as the fish cakes, but the Lemongrass butter was not at all what it should be, it was tasteless, weak in its texture, this was very disappointing as I have personally made this myself and it should be really buttery in its texture with strong flavors. The Calamari strips were tasteless so as the prawns which came in a pair, sorry but I think that a few more should be served for the cost of that dish, but this is my personal opinion. My wife's Cob was really nice too, the salsa was tasteless like it came out of a cheap supermarket ready mix, but the worst was the roasted veggies which were not cooked properly, especially the carrots which were not even cooked, like raw, we pointed out it to the manager and I asked them to be replaced, it didn't happen, I asked later why and was told it must have been a misunderstanding as they were going to discount it from the bill!!! Told them, I was not interested in the discount but properly cooked carrots... Anyway, we were done, so they offered us dessert, but I was not interested. Ordered coffees which were great, R 700 later... Saveur was a very bad experience...A Local/International...

Your staff don't have respect and whoever the woman was who came to apologize wasn't convincing. You should be ashamed of yourselves and ensure that next time you respect customers and maybe you would have more coming there. That hair that was on our omelette it makes me nauseous thinking about it. GOODBYE My wife and I retired senior citizens decided to have breakfast at this restaurant. Had to ask waiter to clean the table as he had placed the menus on the dirty table. We ordered a flat white and a cappuccino. Both looked the same and tasted the same. The waiter had spilt coffee onto the saucer and said he would get a serviette to clean it up. We waited and I had to remind him his response was he forgot to bring the serviette. We ordered two omelettes and I found a hair on my omelette should have taken a photo. I returned it to the waiter and refused to pay for the food. Fortunately we never ate any of the food. I wanted to pay for the two coffees but at that point not sure who the lady was who spoke to us if she was a manager. She said it was on the house and we walked out. Very disappointing and will not go...
Read moreUnfortunately I had the worst experience ever, when my family and I arrived we were shown to our seats and ordered our drinks. During that time the restaurant wasn't as full, so there were some empty tables. We received our drinks and ordered our food, that's where the problem started.. My brother was first told that the Ribs he ordered wasn't soft enough and was asked to order something else (No problem, he did)
More people began coming in and things got worse, there were two families and a young couple that came after us that recieved their meals before us, paid and left. Whilst we sat there unattended wondering what was going on. We had to complain first to the waiter asking what was the wait all about (of which he just mumbled the response to our questions), we then called for the Manager, that's when our food reached our table. But even then, none of us enjoyed our food. I had ordered a Bacon and Chicken Mayo Tramazzini , some of the pieces had melted cheese some did, some had chicken some didn't, there was almost no seasoning and their chips were mushy.
We paid R2200 for that was cold and placed on...
