la Belle Constantia by Kove Collection

One of the nice settings in town! Really beautiful court yard. Nice that it’s dog friendly too! Scrambled eggs were a bit heavy on the onion, but everything else was delicious ! Great coffee too, and quick service! Zero complaints!

Good restaurant with a lovely terrace. Very pleasant for a leisurely lunch or dinner with friends and family. The food is very good, just slightly short of excellent.

I was super excited to try them, it's so pretty and had been on my bucket list for a long time, which made the disappointment even worse. What stood out most was the clear difference in service with the tables surrounding us (white guests) ( I am a person of colour). There were issues regarding my order which led to a back and forth of getting it right (incorrect dish and failed to follow instructions). The toasted marshmallow hot chocolate was also NOT toasted. Poor service can happen anywhere, but when it’s paired with such a visible difference in attentiveness, it leaves you questioning why. I left feeling really disappointed and unwelcome.

One of my favourite places in Cape Town and have visited many times over the years. Generally, the food has been good in the past but my family was very disappointed with the baked items on offer for afternoon tea. We arrived at 14:30 and most of the bakery items were finished. A very poor selection. Quite bizarre considering people usually want tea and cakes on a Sunday afternoon. There was one portion of scones left and we were told that they generally don't make too many scones because of fear of wastage. We were also advised that we should phone ahead of time in future and have cakes/scones set aside. The portions of all the baked items were small. The frangipane tart wasn't the best. Very sweet and very small slice. The scones were crumbly and fell apart and not the best flavour. Quite different to the experience a year ago, where we considered them one of the best when compared to other establishments in the area. The only carrot cake option was vegan and the apple crumble again, was more crumble than apple and very dry. Cream is offered as an optional extra for 'vegan' reasons?? The cheesecake was fair but there was confusion as to the 'flavours'. In all, not the best experience and some of the staff are a little on the rude side. The whole experience felt 'disorganized' and disappointing. I will return because of the love of the setting but definitely will think twice about going to La Belle for 'afternoon tea and cake'. I hope that the standards on the lunch and breakfast options, haven't dropped as well. It would be a real shame.

Went for an early Sunday afternoon cake break after a nice morning walk by the Constantia greenbelt. The cakes were delicious, and the service was great. Lovely open field just outside the restaurant, overall great place for brunch with friends, or cute date spot.

My go to place with hubby. Excellent food, service and friendly staff. A must to try if you haven't before.

On Sunday 15th December we brought an elderly friend for afternoon tea. As Erica only has one leg she was in a wheelchair. Our waiter, Gerisse, was exceptionally helpful and considerate; polite at all times he made the afternoon a delight! Thank you Gerisse.

My companion is in a wheelchair, the venue is perfectly accessible. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Beautiful venue and gardens. We had the butter honey pancakes, delicious but very dry and we had to ask for additional honey. Definitely recommended though.
