Kloof Street House

Everything was excellent. The place has this unique goth-victoria style, the staff are all lovely (literally & figuratively), but most of all, the food and wines were all great! Keldon was the guy who waited on us and he has a great personality. I would highly recommend!

Wow! This restaurant was our culinarily best in Cape Town! The vibe is so, well, VIBRANT! Our lead server Charlotte had amazing energy that truly was in line with the establishment. The entire serving staff worked well as a unit. And the food!!! The food!!!! It's a wonderful mix of traditional meets exotic. It was delicious and not gamy in taste. On top of that, the clientele was a wonderful mix of visitors to South Africa and a cast of obvious regulars that made us wish we could dine there every night of the stay. When you're in Cape Town, you MUST get a table at Kloof Street House.

Our waiter Tristan was amazing — so accommodating with my dietary restrictions and overall such a great experience. If you’re gluten- and dairy-free, this is the place to go! The food had a perfect balance of salty and umami flavors. I’d highly recommend the lamb shoulder, sirloin steak, and pan-fried calamari — all were incredibly flavorful.

Dinner tonight at Kloof Street House, a recommendation from a local, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food and drinks were beautifully presented, and my fish was cooked perfectly. Dessert was delicious, and the service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly. A memorable dining experience, I would definitely return!

This was the first time in almost 7 years returning back to Kloof Street House. It was our first date location after moving to Cape Town in late 2016. We celebrated our 7th wedding Anniversary, so it just felt fitting to come back. Atmosphere as always is just ridiculous, amazing, exquisite even, and the food to die for. BUT, the main reason we’ll be back, Chantal - the way she served us, handled herself in a high pressure environment - made us feel like beyond VIP’s, what an incredible human being and unmatched addition to your Kloof Street House team. So, thank you! The photos aren’t too great, we must admit, but the experience was so incredible, we forgot to take more…..so what does that tell you…?

We came here for drinks for my best friends birthday. We did not book however they gave us a beautiful table in the outside area. It was cozy + ambient. However I am writing this review for our special waitress, her name is Bella. She was kind from the start, she checked on us often + made an effort to make my friends birthday memorable. Her prompt service as well as elegant manner in my opinion is worth 5 stars. She is a wonderful addition to the place - thank you Bella dear. We will be back 💛💛

We had an incredible evening at Kloof Street House in Cape Town. From the moment we arrived, Ashara, our hostess, made us feel so welcome and gave us exceptional service. The food and cocktails were outstanding. Our group, visiting from all over the world, unanimously agreed that the ostrich dish was the highlight of the night. The ambience is charming, atmospheric spot with a warm, vibrant energy. As a local, it’s easily one of my favourite spots in the city, and it never disappoints. Perfect for both locals and visitors looking for an unforgettable Cape Town dining. Highly recommended.

Kloof Street House is magic — stylish, cozy, and just the right amount of fancy. The atmosphere feels like dining in someone’s beautifully curated home, the menu is inventive without being pretentious, and each dish has its own charm. A perfect pick when you want something a bit special.
