Aubergine Restaurant

What a disaster for Mother's Day. I expected a fine dining experience, but this restaurant was far from it. Cape Town has so many incredible restaurants — I've tried quite a few — and this one was a joke in comparison. My daughter is very easy to please, and the only thing she somewhat enjoyed were the oysters. The tasting menu was honestly indescribable — tasteless and completely underwhelming. After two starters and a main course, we still hoped dessert would redeem the meal. Unfortunately, it was a bland warm cake with ice cream and a few decorative touches that didn’t help the flavor at all. For the price we paid… we were speechless. It was truly a horrible experience. The only saving grace was the staff — they were friendly and welcoming. But that’s not enough to justify the "fine dining" label. Definitely off my list for good.

As always, what a beautiful experience, fresh wild oysters, sea bass, cold broccoli soup, and so it goes on, beautiful wines, those David & Nadia single site specific chenins, thank you Ralph! We thank you Harald for being there!

Excellent food!!! Especially when accompanied by a group of people who make your first night in Cape Town beautiful! More specifically, I'm talking about the full of knowledge sommelier Ralph, Lumka who was always smiling and helpful with our food and Rodrigo who suggested places for us to spend our next few days! Many congratulations to the whole team! Thank you very much! We really enjoyed the night!!! The table from Greece!!

Great food and presentation. Outstanding wine list and profund explaination. How the staff was talking about guests was an absolut low light and cooled down the atmosphere. I left with that taste.

The food was really good and tasty. Delicately presented. The restaurant has a fantastic, warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were completely ignored by the sommelier which left a bitter taste in our mouth. He literally skipped our table. In the end another gent attended to us. The dining was great! The wining was awkward. The wine selection is very good however. Some unique bottles. I can appreciate that others may have a vastly different experience.

The food was fantastic and the wine pairing could not be better. The sommelier a legend himself! Thank you for the nice experience! :)

The staff’s service, friendliness and attention to detail was such a hit! This was an amazing fine dining experience with fresh, tasty dishes and amazingly paired wines. My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and the restaurant was an excellent choice, very intimate and fitting for a special occasion or as a great experience for a wine-loving foodie. We also especially enjoyed the sommelier, his knowledge and personality made each course a unique experience and it worked well the intimate ambiance of the restaurant 🙌🏾

Had an incredible dining experience at Aubergine Restaurant! The restaurant has a rich history and contemporary flair that creates an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. German chef Harald Bresselschmidt's innovative cuisine and classic service blew me away.
