If you were ever looking for the quintessential neighbourhood spot, Lime Tree Cafe would be it. Nestled in the leafy suburb of Bergvliet, this quaint and cosy cafe services the area with generous cafe…

Such a beautiful restaurant and gorgeous grounds of the estate. Great for a trip out – maybe just for a glass of wine and a snack? (Mains very pricey and service needs sharpening.)

What a beautiful spot! Walking into the glass greenhouse-type building is breathtaking. Everything from the furniture to the light fittings is state of the art and very luxurious. Take a deep breath b…

A great spot for an afternoon with the family. The menu isn't anything out of the ordinary, but they do great milkshakes (the strawberry one has actual fruit in it) and the view is just gorgeous. The …

A great little gem in the burbs! (Just avoid the school rush from neighbouring Rondebosch Boys if you can...) The main offerings are Japanese, so you can look forward to thick udon noodles in broth wi…

Solo now does breakfast all day, so you can order bacon waffles and shakshuka in the afternoon. Good life choices. The wonderful new winter menu has a few more tempting slow-cooked and saucy offerings…

This hidden gem, formerly known for great dim sum, is now serving an incredible lunch spread. It changes daily, but could include the likes of salted-caramel chilli slaw, stuffed aubergines topped wit…

I stopped for a quick bite and cuppa at this new café in its first week. The mushrooms on toast are creamy, truffly and delicious, with peppery spears of rocket balancing the richness, all arranged b…

This spot is so utterly lovely, surrounded by history and beautiful greenery, that it's hard to have a bad time here. But wow, the dish I had on Sunday really tested my resolve. Billed as a calamari s…

I walked over on a rainy, cold Friday but once inside, all my chills faded away. Clarke's was like a hidden tropical paradise inside, with palm fronds and shorts-wearing waiters. It was jam packed ful…

I got a delicious bacon, avo and tomato bagel this morning. It had plentiful crispy bacon, half a beautifully ripe avo spread on top, thinly sliced tomatoes and thick lashings of cream cheese. So good…

I had a splendid lunch here with friends on Saturday. The ambience inside was very vibrant, and the service was friendly and efficient. (What a treat to get jugs of water and glasses for the table wit…

I love this spot for weekday lunches. They have incredible soups (Thai red chicken curry, creamy chicken and corn chowder or spicy Moroccan butternut) which come served with a hunk of ciabatta and pat…

I had brunch in a sidewalk sunbeam here on Saturday morning. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and she whipped up a delicious raw cacao 'hot chocolate' for me even though it wasn't on the menu. I …

We had a lovely early dinner here on a weeknight before a movie at the Labia down the road. Friendly staff and lovely pizzas with thin crusts! There's a blackboard menu of specials and mains too, like…

Friendly, swift service with a smile and the most beautiful salads you could imagine. The chef transforms ordinary ingredients like green beans, red onions and root vegetables into flavourful salads w…

This is a cute little spot for a lunchtime bite with friends. Lovely bright space, with a welcome breeze coming in through the windows (complete with little window boxes of herbs). My sweet potato chi…

This charming little spot is easy to miss, but the food really hits the spot! Vegetarians have much to choose from, like the braised aubergines - with crispy batter on the outside - that had us in rap…

Three of us came for dinner on a surprisingly quiet Saturday night. The room is a bit dark and moody, making you feel slightly exposed, which is perhaps why it wasn't buzzing and full. The service was…

My husband and I popped into Plant one Saturday afternoon for a bite. It's one of his favourite places - there is so much choice than just the usual Greek salad, veg stir-fry or mushroom risotto that …

Food Going to tashas is always such a treat, not just because the food is good but because the service matches the great brand they’ve upheld for years and years. They serve a great variety of delic…

This is a beautiful spot for a long, lazy lunch with friends or family. Tables are dotted amongst the trees and flowers and the dappled sunlight falls on you as you tuck into your delicious country-st…

Simple and elegant ambience. The menu is an eclectic take on old favourites bursting with well balanced flavours. Knowledgeable yet unobtrusive waiting staff with an old fashioned courtesy. Highly rec…

A hidden gem with hospitality second to none. Exceptional service and delicious food. Can't wait to make a return visit.

Inventive, audacious, creative cooking which leaves far behind many acclaimed European chefs. The way vegetables are treated, on the same level as meat or fish, is just breathtaking. And this for a ve…

Absolutely delicious food, gorgeous wine and a beautiful setting!

Perfect evening with delicious organic food, paired with great SA wines and friendly and knowledgable service. It was so good, we came back twice in a row for dinner!

Came for dinner with family, atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Service was very good, food was good but unfortunately it was cold.

What an organic sensation! I had the veg risotto, which looked straight from Masterchef Australia. My tastebuds were alive with flavours and the risotto was perfect. Service and attention to detail al…

Incredible place. Flowers everywhere, very relaxing, and the food is unbelievable! Definitely, definitely worth the visit.
