On the Grid : Kloof Street House

"Look, we might as well be honest with one another, Cape Town is where cool came to stay. It is likely that every hipster that ever existed makes their way to the Mother City for pilgrimage from all over the world. Thankfully this means many good things – like good jazz in dimly lit rooms for example. Kloof street house leads the charge in this regard. They have a live jazz band to chill out to on lazy Sunday afternoons. Add to that quality tapas and a gin and tonic or two, and you have a winning formula for summers in the city." - Yellow Door Collective

On the Grid : The Deckhouse

"This trendy Kloof Street restaurant-come-pub is the perfect place to enjoy an American backyard-style grill in a casual atmosphere. The ambiance and décor make you feel like you’re on a beach holiday, and the hanging crab pots and nets pay tribute to the freshness and quality of the food. Although hard work, the crab pots are well worth the effort, and a combination of dishes to share amongst friends is definitely a good idea. The best thing about this culinary adventure is that whether lovers of seafood, barbeque, or both, there is something for everyone!" - Yellow Door Collective

Wonderful experience. You can tell the staff are passionate about this restaurant, from the wait staff to the kitchen to the general service, to the upkeep. It was exquisite from the moment we walked in until we, reluctantly, had to leave. The ostrich was some of the best meat I have ever eaten and highly recommend it.

Dinner at Club Kloof was excellent from start to finish. The ambiance is stylish but relaxed, and the menu feels thoughtful and well curated. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Our waitress, Tyra, was particularly wonderful — warm, attentive, and added to an already great evening. I highly recommend everything on the menu and my boyfriend and I said this was one of our favorite restaurants so far in Cape Town! Book a head for a spot inside

If I had to describe this place as a person, it would be an Italian South African, so I felt at home having dinner here. Italian inspired food, but plated tapas style. Best excuse to order more than one option on the menu. Loved the food and atmosphere. Been back a couple times, so would definitely recommend it.

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!

Great location and ambiance. Service was also excellent, special mention to Chelsea who held the umbrella to keep us in the shade hahaha. However, I found the food to be average though the presentation was pretty. The drinks was also good but it took a while to come.

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!

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. ****update review**** My husband and I went back and had a different waitress which changed our experience from a 5 to a 3. She never asked for the temperature of the meat instead assumed and didn’t offer us anything to drink. She did kindly swap the fries for potatoes on my meal only even though we requested it for both of us. The entire encounter was strange and we went back because we had such a great experience but clearly the waiter did the heavy lifting for that. The food is still good but I did want to give an update.

Kloof Street House is the the house of too much! Too much noise (Sports Bar)!Too much layering of plates (Austrian food hall). Too many objets(Kaapse bohemian boudoir). Clearly very popular. The waitrons are excellent and obviously enjoy their work. The decibel levels, unfortunately, had us leaving early. The experience was somewhat muted by the poor acoustics (please excuse the mixed metaphor). The queue of diners waiting to enter obviously contradict my biased view!
