This serene Japanese gem offers delicious cocktails, fresh sashimi and pristine sushi. Book a spot at the sushi bar and order the Kyoto Garden roll and a peppy Asian Mary cocktail.

Inspired by the owners’ mother, Sophia Electra, Café Sofi is a nod to their favourite recipes. The menu centres on comforting dishes with subtle Greek influences – spanning breakfast and lunch favourites including honey-butter croissants, crispy hake baps, beef ragù rösti, and generous sourdough sandwiches. All served in a soft, light-filled space with striped floors and warm wood furniture just off Kloof Street.
