Update 2026: this restaurant has become home. We are regulars and this year valentine has been amazing. Fully Wolf Endorsed.

Vini's is an old school restaurant experience in a modern world. The family business boasts decades of regular patrons and the staff reflects the personal touch many places don't have anymore.

My meal was on par with the price and value I expected from this type of establishment. The managers/owners were hands on during my visit.

My only let down was the lack of flavour in the "coffee" milkshake. The Wolfy review is sadly disappointed on the milkshake as some small serving moments.

Excellent food in a tucked away spot. I'm very happy with the quality of the food and service, to the extent of having two weekend lunches there in one month 😁

We had our daughter ‘s 21st dinner there on the 10th of January. The staff were friendly and efficient. Billy and Kirstie were very accommodating with all our requests. We had a set menu with a good options. The food was delicious. Will highly recommend Vini’s.
What an awesome, hidden away gem. We went for a customer lunch early in December and I had to go backand take my whole family later December for my birthday. Food is of the chart, atmosphere is stunning and service is great. Will definately visit again and recomend to everyone

We love this place. Great food at a fair price. On most evenings there is excellent 'cafe' type live music. This chicken chorizo chilli garlic pasta served in a pizza bread bowl was superb 👌
We visited Vini's on Sunday, 21 December 2025 for a family Christmas lunch and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We booked in advance with Kirsty, which was handled smoothly, and the day itself delivered on every level.

We ordered a wide selection from the menu and everything was consistently good: generous portions, well prepared and full of flavour. The ribs are an absolute must-have. While the cocktail and shooter menu is fairly limited, what is offered is well priced and good quality, so no real complaints there.

Service was exceptional. Our waiter, Oscar, was phenomenal: attentive, organised and genuinely helpful, from assisting with table setup to managing the service seamlessly throughout the lunch. Vinnie himself greeting the table added a warm, personal touch that really sets this place apart.

The atmosphere is lively, family-friendly and relaxed. We sat inside where the temperature was comfortable, and although there was live music outside, the noise level remained very reasonable and did not interfere with conversation.

Parking is limited and mostly on the street, but security was visible and reassuring. We spent around R600 per person, which felt like excellent value for the quality of food, service and overall experience.

A solid 5/5. Vini's remains a reliable, welcoming spot for great food and a festive, social atmosphere. Highly recommended.
