Fynkos

Enjoyed a delightful light breakfast at Fynkos before exploring Kirstenbosch Gardens. Tucked near Gate 2, this casual eatery offers a relaxed vibe compared to the other restaurant within the garden’s paid area. The morning menu boasts a solid variety—our highlights were the flavorful tomato shakshuka and the savory mushroom toast. The chococino was a perfect warm-up for the chilly morning. Sitting outdoors, we soaked up the morning sun with birdsong in the background. Not a top notch cafe but recommended for a cozy start or a place to grab a quick bite to your garden adventure!

Considering the location inside the Kirstenbosch botanic gardens I was expecting a typical tourist trap in terms of food and pricing. I was pleasantly wrong and surprised. The food was good, reasonably priced for what we good and all round everyone agreed it was worth another visit. Service was good. Afternoon in winter gets cold when the sun goes behind the mountain and our server was kind enough to offer some blankies. Good food, reasonable price, good service. Id go again

Very cool place next to the garden, great service, amazing food and awesome views! Malwa pudding was a delight! Would love to come back here.

I come back week after week for the delicious food (love their egg sandwich), the wonderful service and the beautiful setting. I appreciate the no-device policy - such a welcome change. Truly appreciate that it is priced and suited to locals and not just aimed at tourists.

After reviewing several negative comments regarding the service on Garden Week, I would like to share my positive experience on the final day of the event. The waitstaff exhibited a commendable level of attentiveness and dedication. The quality of the food was outstanding, and I specifically recommend trying the iced coffee. It would be an excellent addition to your day before you venture into nature.

Most accommodating to our requests, but at the end the food was not value for the money.

We stopped for a much needed brunch after spending a few hours walking through Kirstenbosch Gardens and were grateful to be seated immediately. It is lovely sitting outside under their umbrellas with the gardens and birds surrounding you. We ordered the "Light" beef burger and "Light" chicken burger, and thank goodness we did! The Light / Quick meal portion size is more than ample! The burgers were tasty and you are given heaps of chips as a side! Very reasonable prices too!

We had lunch here. All our orders tasted good, looked nice and are healthy options. Perfect after a walk in the botanical garden.
