We had lunch, one of the best meals we had in Cape Town. Our waitress gave an outstanding “presentation” when she described the menu in detail from the blackboard which was brought to our table and she recommended appropriate wines for each course once we have chosen. We ate on the terrace with the backdrop of the surrounding gardens and... More

We had a most enjoyable meal at La Colombe during our honeymoon in May. Ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the service was also excellent. They had a wine pairing tasting course which looked amazing, but my husband and I are not big eaters so we went with the a la carte. appetizer: I had the beetroot cannelloni -... More

We had a wonderful waitress who explained each item on the menu, took an questions that we had and was so accommodating. The food was spectacularly presented and looked like art! It was a great experience and would highly recommend with friends or with a loved... More

My wife and I had waited to eat here for a long time, so we obviously called and made a reservation. Upon our arrival we found out that the restaurant is closed!!! We were furious. We then had no choice but to eat at Constantia Uitsig (their other restaurant) who were very appologetic and promised to "wow" us if we... More

I love food and I definitely love their food! This restaurant has top class presentation and food combinations. Definitely visit this place for a true gourmet experience. The establishment has a very homely humble feel to it but the waiters are all very attentive. The price is definitely very high but this is understandable once you see the effort that... More

We had lunch here in April 2013 and simply, it was the best restaurant lunch ever. The setting and atmosphere are first class, food outstanding and service ditto. The prices were very very good value for money, and hugely short of top London restaurants. We will most definitely go back on our next visit. One bit of advice - allow... More

After reading the reviews for this restaurant, I had very high expectations and they were all surpassed and I understand fully why it has been voted one of the best restaurants in the world. The waiters/waitresses know the menu inside-out down to every little intricacy, and they all seem so happy to be there. The menu is explained in graphic... More
