You might remember it as Manolo, but now the iconic restaurant on Kloof Street has a completely new identity and charisma.

At the Opal Lounge restaurant, beauty is the essence of everything you experience. Beauty above you, beauty around you, and beauty on each plate they present to you.

Enormous amounts of passion have gone into the restyling of the fabulous Victorian house you will remember from Manolo days. Don't take their word for it though - go and experience it for yourself.

The restaurant is situated in the lower end of Kloof Street (on the right-hand side) between City Varsity and the KwikSpar.
