This neighborhood bistro offers consistently good value , and is booked with locals almost every night of the week, always a good sign when you’re considering what to do in Cape Town. Read more

I had mussels and a steak and will definitely go back. Worth a trip if you can get in and sit at a regular table, but if you are sitting in the bar you are looking at a very long dinner .

One of my favorite restaurants in Cape Town for a summer dinner . The mushroom risotto is a must, probably the best I've ever had in my life.

Leslye Van Wageningen

Best service I have ever had. The food is amazing, I tried the pasta with prawns and garlic . My friends take the pasta with lamb , amazing too. Highly recommended in Cape Town

My husband ordered the grilled prawn with garlic and it was super yummy. I ordered the mushroom , the risotto was a little hard so I don't know is it like that all the time or we ordered very late.

Chocolate nemesis - a dark, flourless torte - a delicious wheat free option! Pumpkin risotto also very yummy, quite cheesy & rich, great, just not quite what I was expecting.

Barry Green

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! great food, terrific staff . Can't be better. The mushroom risotto was the best I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, and the venison was just pure honey . Will be back!

Mushroom risotto is very nice. Service is excellent and the waiters are very well versed with how the dishes are prepared.

A bit pricey but not exorbitantly so. Great ostrich burgers and cozy bar area. Excellent and varied daily specials in all sections, from starters through to desserts (MUST ask for prices).

Maha K.B

You MUST have the clchocliate dessert . It's to die for. If you are full take it for to go and eat it later.

Ayah Alfawaris

The had pumpkin kuskus salad . Oh em gee. Ostrich burger is average. Pumpkin risotto was so good.

Jack Kirby

Prawns were amazing. Service was great. Loved the Artichoke Soup ! Romantic setting .

The bar is one of Cape Town's hidden gems . It's a perfect spot to have a few drinks and chillout with friends in winter.

South Hill rose [top quality one] only costs you R48 per bottle and it is 100% great. Enjoyed on the terrace outside last week.

Try the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict

Jake Andrew

Amateur hour, yet yummy. Inedible venison ! Great mushroom risotto . No kitchen-waiter comms! Offers often unavailable ????! CDisasters weren't charged, so presumably unusual. Funny fiasco!
