A beautifully set restaurant within the Company's Garden! The decor invites the outside in. Surrounded by trees, flora and little fluffy fauna, this is a wonderfully relaxing outing. The restaurant also has a delightful selection of cakes and bakery goods! From the menu, I would recommend the fish and chips, and the chicken penne!

Great food and the best cocktails in Cape Town - definitely order the Kloof Street spiced tea. Very rococo style decor, with mismatched but elegant furniture, romantic lighting, all dripping in luxury. For a slightly smoother evening, with a dash of food, romance, great drinks and conversation - this is an excellent spot on upmarket Kloof Street.
