Quietly doing its own thing amidst the hustle and bustle of Kloof St, this European styled bistro is a firm favourite with Cape Town’s city dwellers. The front of the restaurant is open to the street with tables placed on the sidewalk, while the interior is chic black and white, with a private corner for catching up on your work.

Breakfasts items include tartine with Nutella, Bircher muesli and croque-monsieur, while lunches include gourmet sandwiches and salads, and a variety of pastas. Dinner offers more hearty fare, ranging from burgers to lamb shank, oxtail and fillet with a choice of sauces. The winelist, though small, is filled with an excellent selection from the best boutique wineries in the Cape.
