Kloof Street House

"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

"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

"At Kloof Street House, the cocktails are delightful, and although the prices are steep, most are specific to Kloof Street House—so you're paying for something unique. The bar also offers an extensive range of spirits, local wines, Champagne, and satisfying bar bites like baked camembert. A restaurant first, it has a full menu, along with bar bites like baked camembert with onion marmalade, hummus and pita, harissa calamari, and gorgonzola-mushroom arancini. In all, this is a great destination for a catch-up with friends or an unplanned date night when all you want is lounge music and decadent decor." - Seth Shezi
