Everything a restaurant should be

Eat: Kloof Street House

Cape Town, South Africa


This restaurant, serving South African fare, is located in an old Victorian home with an ornate garden for al fresco dinners on warm evenings. The interior feels like dining in a warm, welcoming home - not on one of the busiest streets in Cape Town on which it lies. One reviewer aptly noted: "every inch of the house is archival, a memoir of a time or place that escapes the modern city around us." From fresh seafood to baked cheeses, to expertly-crafted cocktails and decadent desserts, Kloof Street House is everything a restaurant should be - all at a reasonable price.
