Cafe Monroe

Such a fantastic spot. Very welcoming from the moment you walk in till you leave. Chef Margot and Craig really made the evening special, with great attention to all the guests. The food was sublime, as was the special margarita. Thank you for a great time, food and service.

Gem of a place with exceptional service. Everything was perfect. Food, drinks and service, ambience. I’m usually skeptical about duck because of the gamely tatse but the Duck wonton starter had an amazing comforting deep flavour when combined with the lentil. The pear added just a hint of sweetness . The Mozambique chicken was tender and flavorful. Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior. Cafe Monroe is a must. I will definitely return to try more of the menu.

10 out of 10 for service, food and ambiance. Margo and Craig created a gem of a fine dining restaurant. Can’t wait to go back and taste more of the creative and delicious menu.

We had the best time here! Wow, wow, wow!! The food is absolutely amazing, the ambiance makes you feel like you are in another part of the world and the owners are so welcoming. We felt really special and will always remember this memorable dining experience. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a celebration birthday lunch at Cafe Monroe, fantastic meal of Beef short rib and a Trio of salmon with two additional salads. The service was excellent and then we were surprised and delighted when we were served and excellent creme brulee for the birthday boy, thank you!

Café Monroe is a delight for the senses! Craig and Chef Margo from Franschoek have created something very unique in the heart of Musgrave. Every plate was a delight and tantalised the tastebuds even more!👌🏻 The ambiance with Bossa Nova music, attention to service, and food to match was truly most memorable and an experience not to be missed!

A definite 5 star experience. The duck wonton was exceptionally done. And the lamb chops are some of the best I've tasted, with perfectly cooked lamb and a symphony flavours. Cocktails were made as per our requests. The food, ambience and wonderful service by the chef/ owner/ waiter will ensure my return.
