I had a lovely stay at La Belle Bistro in Constantia; the ambiance was charming, which made up for slightly overpriced food and cocktails. However, I was disappointed with the inattentive service and a billing mix-up. Overall, it's a nice place for a relaxing meal, but be prepared for some hiccups in service.
