My favorite thing to do on weekends, after shopping up a storm, is parking my trolley and relaxing at the tables between the escalators. If, like me, you like people-watching - this is the place to be. The team, every one of them, are extremely friendly and attentive. The caramel baked cheesecake is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before! I love it so much, I ordered an entire one for my birthday a few years ago! The tremmazinis are flavorful and fresh. A portion of four, big triangles that I usually can’t finish on my own and have now begun sharing with my sister. The fries are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and are tossed in a yummy spice. The hot dogs are also a treat! Almost everything I’ve tried here is of high quality. The pricing, though high, is easy to digest knowing you’ve had a really great meal. Worth every penny.

My sister and I are in love with Magnifico. The vibe is just so chill and the food is phenomenal at affordable prices. Whether its a simple sandwich, or maybe you want to go Italian and have a pasta? Maybe some Greek inspired food? Look, whatever you want, Magnifico has. Come here for a treat.

Great little gem. Great breakfast on offer and even better fresh cakes and home made ice cream.

Ive been coming here for so many years now, one of the best cafes out there by far, food is always great and the atmosphere just has that special coffee shop feel. I only sit in the smoking section but I dont smoke. I should probably try the restaurant style seating, but this place deserves the 5 star for its continued excellence. Friendly waiters, great atmosphere and good food.

I cant begin to explain how amazing the food and drinks at this place are. The prices for the food are also quite reasonable. They also have a wide variety of cakes and gourmet ice-cream available. The service was also great and the food didnt take long. I would definitely go back.

What a pleasant suprise. Was expecting the average mall coffee shop. But not that at all. Menu is not the same as everyone else. Huge choice for breakfast. Food was delicious, service great and friendly. Vibe friendly. Owners present. No formula, Waitrons been there for ages, food handmade on premises.If it wasnt 30km from where I live, I would be a regular.But when I go to Canal Walk again, Ill go hungry and visit Magnifico Bistro every time.

Cafe Magnifico’s Eggs Benedict are the best in the business - the Hollandaise Sauce is out of this world!I am yet to find a contender that comes even close. Their staff are friendly and efficient so it’s always a pleasure to visit. This is my go-to when I shop at Canal Walk.

The wife and I visited on a Sunday for breakfast. She went for the breakfast tramezini. I had the eggs benedict. I was pleasantly surprised. The Hollandaise sauce was just perfect, the caramelized onions were great. The eggs and bacon were just perfect. My wife enjoyed her breakfast. Although we were both hungry, she only managed to finish half of hers. So had the rest later. The coffee was good too. She had a cappacino, but felt it was a little weak. All in all, a great breakfast. A bit on the pricey side, but not crazy.

Oh my goodness!!!! This place is something! I tried the traditional Indian butter chicken and my partner had the traditional Indian lamb curry and it was as delicious as my mother would make it. I cannot wait to come back and try their stir fry and other items on the menu. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits Canal Walk.
