Magnifico - Kensington

My mom and I have frequented this spot for years and they're always consistent. Always great food and good service. Would highly recommend their Thai chicken sandwich

I was not expecting much from this place after reading the reviews on Zomato HOWEVER I must admit I was really impressed with this establishment Stopped by for lunch with the parents and from the service to the food, everything was on point. The restaurant is divided by a walkway just opposite the lower entertainment area and it has a nice spot under the elevators. The menu is extensive with daily specials. We opted for one of these specials the roast lamb. We also had the salmon fishcakes and the butternut soup. Everyone was very happy with their meals. The portions are big but half the plate is just salad. I loved the skinny fries which accompanied the crispy fishcakes. For desserts, there’s a range of cakes and gelato however we didn’t have tummy space this time. We will be back

I was drawn to this place after spotting the lovely cakes/pastries and ice-creams on offer. We decided to treat ourselves to (gelato) ice-creams after lunch. I opted for the chocolate brownie flavor in a sugar cone. Now I'm not a sweet tooth at all, but this super sweet chocolate ice-cream with its huge chunks of brownie was too heavenly to resist! The rest of the family opted for mint chocolate, strawberry sorbet and stracciatella and were happy with their choices too. Staff are so friendly here and quick to help. Also so convenient having this place situated in the Centre of Canal Walk. You literally just walk past, pay and then be on your merry way to continue with shopping.

Sundays are meant to end with cake and coffee. First time ever at Magnifico and it was just below average. My chocolate cake was dry at the bottom and so so sweet on top the entire top section went to waste ! I wasn't overly happy/excited being here and the service lacked a great deal (I guess because we were ONLY eating cake), doubtful i will be back.

The pasta was great. The servers (especially Ms. Langa) were very polite and even let us order a meal close to closing time. the manager, Ms. Spiri, was very welcoming and sweet.
