Been here a couple of times and have never been disappointed. Seating is limited and a little compressed, but there is a great atmosphere. The seating outside is lovely in the garden but really only with good weather. Comprehensive menu with creative variety at reasonable prices. The service is efficient.

What a secret little gem. Food service and venue take a lot of beating, used mostly by locals, and well worth the search. There is a small parking area but failing that parking can be found in local streets.

Came here for lunch with a friend. Beautiful little spot. Menu was quite small, so not great for a fussy eater but the food was nice. Service was quick and waiters were friendly.

This restaurant is in a busy area of Cape Town, but it feels quiet and relaxed. Lots of trees with a beautiful garden and some private tables under the trees. Definitely worth a visit - very quick service and food generally very good. I did not book and found a table for 2 without a problem.
