Cape Town & Cape Peninsula
in South Africa

Everything about Between Us is sophisticated: from its stylish interior to its beautiful ceramics and dishwhare. The light is super lovely in the afternoon, so we always like to pop in for a cappuccino and a little treat after lunch.

This casual gastropub is indispensable in the Kloof Street, having been known amongst the locals as the best spot for a hearty comforting meal. Although its owners have experiences in Michelin-starred restaurants, the Black Sheep remains an unpretentious and modest dining experience. But best believe that the food is still star-worthy!

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. 

Hidden atop a steep stairway, this unassuming ramen restaurant is a true hidden gem. With its authentic Japanese cuisine and rustic, cozy interior, it's definitely a neighbourhood fav. And by far the best Shoyu Ramen we've had in Cape Town. 

When we're in town, we love to start our day at Our Local. Preferably with Eggs Florentine, a Mimosa and a good book. Maybe stay for lunch with a friend, so a Caesar Salad and another drink (this time it's probably a Cosmo). Coffee and cake in the afternoon, then dinner with the family. And did we mention it's also a plant shop? What can we say, we LOVE this neighbourhood gem. 

Foodies go absolutely nuts for Ouzeri, a wonderful hidden gem where redefined traditional Greek and Cypriot flavours take centre stage. Their authentic mezze plates are equally as comforting as they are sensational, as Ouzeri has mastered the pleasure of simplicity.

Pajamas + Jam Eatery is was founded by two daughters and their mother and is still family run today. They serve breakfast and brunch in the industrial area of Strand, South Africa, known for its creative setting. The atmosphere is cosy, with a strong emphasis on cafe-style food, homemade items, and baked goods. 

From rich, steaming bowls of ramen to delicious and various toppings, this cosy eatery is warm in ambiance and food.

SALT is one of those places, we still think about for days after. It's intimate, it's bustling and it's all about sharing. Grab a bottle of wine, some small plates for the table and chat the night away with your friends. Oh, and the view of the harbour is the cherry on top!
