Clarke's Bar & Dining Room

It's one of those places you say you're going to visit but never have the time until you get invited. At least, that was my experience. The waitress was patient & kind with our big group. I appreciate that. They found setting for us inside as got chilly outside. Their Mimosas are great! Want something for brunch try the Kimchi rich with poached Eggs, mushrooms & radish. Or a Kimchi pulled pork toasties! Beautiful place! And definitely a Cape Town staple.

Clarke’s is one of those rare places that gets everything right. I ate here three times in one week, all for breakfast, and each experience was outstanding. The BIG Breakfast menu offers so many tempting options that choosing becomes part of the fun. Every dish I ordered was creative, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. The food arrives quickly, looks great, and tastes even better. You can feel the confidence coming out of the kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with great outdoor seating that makes it perfect for lingering conversations. Service was friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Clarke’s is an easy recommendation for breakfast with friends or a solo treat that feels special without trying too hard. A Bree Street staple for very good reason.

I joined Clarke’s for lunch and it was lovely. They have a few nice outdoor areas and indoor is very trendy also. They have a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup was really really good. I had it like a starter but it could be a main. I also had a burger which was very good but couldn’t finish it because my eyes are too big for my stomach. The staff were really lovely and have character and the menu is for hungry people. Great spot for lunch but they do an all day breakfast and dinner as well.

Beshamel bacon croissant is divine taste. Waiting time can be a little bir longer but worth it. There is also locker to keep luggages inside

I had a blueberry and banana muffin which was gluten free and it was amazing. My red cappuccino was good, a little cooler than I expected, but others at the table got their hot drinks heated a little more. Atmosphere was great, lots of seating and service was a little slowish but that could have been due to us all talking so much, and she was giving us the space we might have needed; in which case the service was on point. All in all I really liked it there, and recommend a visit.

So disappointing , burger was dry , patty was overcooked , cheese semi tasteless , bun was nice. And R217 for a burger with chips is flippin steep. And its nowhere near worth that price. 100s of better options for cheaper

Clarke's is a lively, unique and very tasty dining experience in South Africa, The food (chicken burger and a toastie) was delicious (make sure you have plenty of napkins if you are going to order the chicken burger as there is a lot of the delicious sauce, I was covered but definitely did not mind 🙌🏼 The chips there are 1000/10! beautiful, chrispy, fresh, warm and tasty! The staff have no uniform at all so it's a bit of a guessing game who works there, the menu big enough but low on juice options especially when you don't like specific things like ginger but want the rest hehe! easy access, always busy(shows its known for being good) and great location! would definitely recommend and if I ever come back to South Africa I look forward to a delicious messy chicken burger! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We really enjoyed the R35 Mimosa’s; it was the perfect ratio of orange juice and champagne for me 🥂 I ordered the Baby Burger, which is the perfect size burger if you can’t stomach a big meal. I added a side of fries, which’s was a really generous portion. My partner ordered the Buttermilk fried chicken burger with a side of chips. The chicken was perfectly crispy & the croissant-like bun was quite interesting and delicious. The only thing I didn’t enjoy, but isn’t a problem at all, is that it’s quite hot inside 😅 The circulation isn’t so good, and the tables are quite close to each-other. Overall, I would definitely recommend Clark’s Bar & Dining Room.
