Decided the try this place out on the entertainer! We opted to it go for the set menu and make our own two course meal instead. The pulled lamb croquettes with pea purée and aioli were delicious and pulled lamb spring rolls were yummy - with a salty sauce. We both had ribeye steak mains - one with veg and other with chips. Perfectly cooked to order and sides were all delicious. Service was wonderful with a smile and respected our request to not rush, but we also didn’t wait ages for our food. I’ll definitely go back.
We celebrated our two year wedding anniversary and La Boheme was just the right place. Cosy and warm and delicious food! Had the lamb shank and steak and toffee dessert.
All I can say is WOW WOW WOW!! My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a while but it is a little expensive so when we saw it on the entertainer we decided we MUST go. We both had the best darn steaks we have had in a while. I had the Fillet with Mushroom risotto and my wife had the ribeye with peppercorn sauce. Both cooked to perfection and a michelin quality meal. Can't reccommend enough and we will definitely be back!
Im done, I would return every time to have the tender fillet steak with mushroom risotto and mushroom sauce. The flavors are out this world... nice romantic ambience with small menu but exceptional food
Really love their tapas menu and the food was amazing.
Went to La Boheme for a friends birthday and was excited to go there as the reviews are good. I had the seared beef and the braised beef (I think, not sure they menu on here is old) both tapas was amazing enjoyed it a lot. For dessert, I had the tiramisu was okay not to bad. I had a taste of the beef steak with mushroom and risotto and I liked it a lot will order that next time when I was there.
Negatives: the reason why they didn't get a 5 was their wine list is too expensive. We also had to place our order early to avoid food running out. 2 of my friends had to choose another meal which was ridiculous and a bit annoying. If your rating is so high you shouldn't run out of ingredients/food. My friends were even making a joke that they have to fight for what they want to order before there is nothing.
Overall my friends and I had a good birthday dinner there 👌🏽
Super friendly staff and excellent food. Very well executed. The interior is a little sparse and may need s little work but the food more than makes up for it.
Amazing food, lovely ambience, friendly service. Cant see the ocean but the vibe is worth not having a view. The pork belly and creme brûlée is a must!!
This place was excellent. Food so beautiful and very tasty. Reasonable price and service is great. Please note no cocktails anymore. I would definitely visit again!
Absolutely fantastic food with a great atmosphere and friendly staff!! The duo of duck is phenomenal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.
Lovely ambient setting, wide wine list selection and really great food. The butternut and goats cheese canelloni, and beef fillet rissoto are particularly delicious.
We had a wonderful family dinner making our way through the tapas menu! We all loved every bite. Also got beautiful food pics for the gram
Delicious and varied menu, fantastic cocktails (particularly the cherry sour), good wine selection and friendly, attentive staff. The bão buns were amazing!
My husband and I went to try their tapas special (3 for R255) and we were completely blown away. Every single tapa was simply delicious. Our favourites were the pulled lamb wontons, seared tuna and the burrata salad, which was not part of the special but an absolute must-try. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu and we’ve added their sister seafood restaurant ‘Gambas’ to our to-visit list😍
I liked the cozy and intimate setup, with live soft music playing in the background. Our server was attentive, friendly and very professional. The seafood paella was divine, balanced and a great use of saffron. Great wine and cocktail menu and to mention the desserts was delicious. Must visit again
An absolutely delightful restaurant offering wholesome, fresh and well-plated dishes. I’d certainly recommend the 3-course menu which they offer - which caters for various palettes.
At the time, the dishes I opted for were seared tuna with fresh ginger for starters. Grilled kingklip with mussels, potato croquettes, broccoli and peas for mains. And to end, a delicious slice of cheesecake topped with berry compote for dessert.
The restaurant also offers a mix of indoor and covered outdoor seating, perfect for a warm summers day. Lastly the service is impeccable. Staff are friendly, professional and efficient in all aspects. Will certainly be back again to test out another 3-course offering.
Such a cute ambiance. The smaller plates mean you can share lots of tastes. Service was good as well. Deducted one star because the oysters seemed off. But everything else was fresh and delicious.
The atmosphere and service were very nice, however, the food was average for Cape Town.
We took 3 tapas: patatas bravas were good, but mussels with Thai curry sauce had a very weak taste - the color was green, but it tasted like nothing; baked Camembert cheese with bacon and pickles didn’t make the cut either. Our main dish, paella, was pretty fine.
Overall, nice place for casual dinner, but the food experience is a bit uneven.

We had a really lovely Friday night dinner. They have a tapas special (3 plates for R240), and a set menu special (both 2 course and 3 course). The food was superb and the portion sizes are good so you can expect to be quite full if you have any of the specials. The wine selection was also amazing. They have a varied menu including beef, chicken, pork, duck, seafood, and vegetarian options so I opted for the tapas special and tried a selection of different dishes. Their desserts are also really yummy (I tried some of the chocolate brownie and the creme brulee). They close at 10pm on a Friday so if you like to sit, chat, and take your time eating then go early. I would also recommend making a booking ahead of time/calling ahead to confirm table availability, especially for larger parties. The restaurant itself is very warm and cosy with low lighting, candles on the tables, incense burning all the time. If you're not a fan of the incense you can request a table "outside"- it's still under cover and they bring down the canvas sides when it's windy/cold/rainy. The staff are really friendly and welcoming as well. The service is excellent. This place is definitely going on my list of favourites.
Lovely place for a date or even a family dinner. You can choose 3 tapas for R240, The food was excellent (portion sizes are perfect) as the wine selection! (Vegetarians you’ll have option). Too bad I was already full to test their desserts!
Can’t end without mentioning the lovely staff!
We went there on a Thursday evening and a guitarist was playing, good vibes
Brenda our waitress was friendly and funny and lovely! The food was fabulous except the cheesecake (one of my favourite desserts to order in a restaurant) The texture was slightly dry and the caramel drizzle (which was not mentioned on the restaurant or website menu) spoiled the lovely berry flavors - I am sadly not a fan of caramel and it it doesn't go well with fruit :(
Otherwise La Boheme rocks and I would definitely go again :)
