115 Lower Main Road · Observatory, Cape Town

Obz Café. Good food. Great vibes. Amazing community.

Wood-fired pizzas, grills, seafood and sushi, cold beer on tap and a room full of regulars, in the heart of Obz.

The Obz Café

An Observatory landmark, three decades on Lower Main.

The brick is exposed, the folding doors open onto the street when the weather plays along, and the wood-fired oven is going from eleven.

Come for a quick coffee, a long lunch or a late one with friends. There's a stool at the bar, a booth for the family and a pavement table for watching Obz go by. The neighbourhood's been coming here for the better part of thirty years, and we'd like you to become part of the Obz Café family too.
