My cousin had her bridal shower there and the wait stuff and service were great. But the food was terrible, I had the basil pesto and chicken pasta. I was expecting linguine but the pasta served was pene. The pesto was split resulting in a very oily dish, the chicken was dry and over cooked, there was way too much pesto and the dish just had no taste, no matter how much salt I added. I am a chef by profession and was just so shocked at the meal I had received .

Beautiful garden setting like you're in an old English period movie. Food was good, great value for money & service was average. Family friendly with a play area not to mention the park & zoo.

The Blue Zoo Restaurant is a fantastic local lunch spot that I often take my guests to as a tour guide.
The restaurant serves a variety of dishes including local favorites such as the Durban curry. They also serve the old English staple, tea with jam and scones. The food is all good with great choices.
The service is great, it's unobtrusive and mostly efficient. Just remember that in Durban things runa little slower than elsewhere.
The scenery is great! The restaurant is at the top of the Mitchel Park with a small animal zoo nearby. Beautiful fig trees provide shade and if you're lucky. Vervet Monkey do visit.response / report this review -

One star for pleasant service and the views but it is a restaurant so the food is important and deserves no more stars. This was my first time having to leave a plate unfinished due to taste not fullness.
I ordered a spinach and feta crepe and a fresh juice. The "crepe" was a spinach creamy mess with no flavor, just salt and margarine. The tomato and basil sauce was pure salt as well and didn't go well with the crepe.
My partner got eggs, bacon and toast. He was ok with it but the toast was full of margarine and seemed to be put on some kind of sandwich maker not a toaster.
The waiter was perfect and nice. No complaints about the service.response / report this review -

The nicest place, so cozy and relaxing. And there is one waiter that knows what happened every day in the past. I can talk with him for hours, a really nice guy. And there is one guy playing on the piano, beautiful. You have to go there.
