Banana Jam Cafe opened in 1999 as a small 45 seater restaurant in the parking lot by Kenilworth station, serving traditional Caribbean food along side burgers and pizza.

In 2010 we moved across the road and expanded to a 200 seater restaurant. With the same Caribbean feel as before we now boast a beautiful garden, an open plan interior with our famous Rum bar, 30 beers on tap and one of the best brew pubs in Cape Town.

    Their staff are extraordinary. There were many first-timers to Banana Jam at our table and afterwards they said, this is our new favourite restaurant!

    We love Banana Jam and have been there several times. However, we normally go for lunch and this was our first visit for dinner. It was rather noisy and the great Caribbean music that we normally enjoy was totally lost. Still a great vibe, though.
