Café Neo

Top choice in Green Point & ­Waterfront


This popular seaview cafe has a pleasingly contemporary design and atmosphere that sways from buzzy (at meal times) to laid-back – it's great for a late afternoon drink. Check out the big blackboard menu, featuring several Greek dishes, while sitting at the long communal table inside, or grab a seat on the deck overlooking the red-and-white lighthouse.
