Our waiter Kelvin was charming and within minutes of arriving our bottle of chilled Sauvignon Blanc was served and our orders taken. Both starters were fantastic and we both had the steak as a main which was very tender and cooked just as we wanted it. The dessert was just as good. The restaurant is an amazing conversion of an old Cape townhouse and the old black and photographs on the walls are worth a visit just on their own. A very pleasant experience eating off the Specials Menu for R195 each for 3 courses and the bill including tip was R620 for an excellent and oft to be repeated experience. A lovely lunch and thanks to our waiter Kelvin....
Kloof Street House is eccentric and incentive in style and taste! We were recommended this by our airbnb host and wnded up coming back the next night! You feel like you're in a museum, with endless decorative details to study inside and outside. An upscale yet quirky dinner spot for many occasions. Highly recommend!
Super cool vibey spot with delicious food!
I visited Kloof street house expecting a low key venue to spend with friend on their birthday. From the street, it is easy to pass this place if you haven't heard of it before.
On nearing the entrance, the unique vibrant ambiance sets the scene for the wonders waiting inside. We were expecting a traditional set menu with courses, but were instead blown away by the fusion inspired menu with great portions. The food was on point and served to allow us to sample across the menu in its many delights. The seating area were on consisted of comfortable sofas with coffee tables as the food rests. Thanks for a great evening.
Perhaps potentially my preferred spot in all of Cape town, stylistic layout was out of this timeframe. Go there for dates with some unique, have the mixed drinks at the bar they're sublime. The outside garde concealed from the city and is a phenomenal setting for a gourmet supper.
Whilst visiting Cape Town, I went to KSH for dinner and wow oh wow what an amazing and gastronomic and pleasurable experience! Since arriving until the end. I can see why this place is so popular. Had Prosecco to start, seafood done to perfection and absolutely delicious! Ended off with the salted caramel cheesecake ... a must! The decor and ambiance of this restaurant is so funky and bohemian, colorful, warm and amazing. The service and staff exceptional and efficient.
Can’t wait to return.
Best dessert in Cape Town - salted caramel cheese cake with caramel popcorn. This is also one of my favorite dinner venues in Cape Town! So beautiful and also vibey. My favorite main is the salmon and I love the arancini and thick crispy fries.
My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and everything about this restaurant is just impeccable..The staff are all very friendlyThe setting is gorgeous and romantic Plus their food is just delish!Defs going there again soon.
Haven't been to a fine dining place better than this before. They are mostly on wait list hence please book before you go. I had ordered ostrich for myself, loved it. The staff was very professional and courteous.
Book in advance to get the table's outside.
Great service
Delicious fresh meals
The place is beautiful, trendy and such a good vibe.
I had the salmon and I'll definitely be back for that.
I dined here on my last day during a short visit to Cape Town. What a lovely venue with nice decor and cozy garden! Dynamic atmosphere and absolutely delicious dishes. Expect a huge crowd so better book in advance and be on time for your booking. Parking is a bit of a challenge, unless they allow you to park behind the restaurant.
I had really high expectations of this place - while not all of them were met, I did still have a very enjoyable meal. We opted for the summer lunch special. For starters, we had the salmon gravlax and the calamari - both were delicious, and the calamari sauce in particular was spicy and flavorful. Our mains were slightly disappointing - the batter of the kingklip goujons was quite soggy, and I found the gnocchi a tad too rich. Dessert was by far the best course - absolutely loved the crème brûlée and ice cream! Would definitely come back just for that. The service was efficient and friendly, and I absolutely love the décor inside.
We were 6 without a reservation, we waited about 15 minutes and it was totally worth it. Delicious dinner, amazing drinks and excellent service. Seth was amazing and very forthcoming, he definitely made our experience memorable. Thanks!
The setting is truly unique and really a dining experience to remember, both outside in the garden and especially inside in the library. Service is interesting, but professional. Star is the food, absolutely stunning. Delicious.
This place seems to be nice for a group. As solo traveller, I made a booking in advance for dinner. The table was (unfortunately) right next to the entrance where you have less visibility on beautiful decorations. So I recommend to go as a group, more than 4 ppl. Had burger, very juicy patty, and a pint of beer. Will definitely try cocktails later. Oh, the dessert was actually Crème de la crème, dark chocolate fondant with burnt marshmallows and vanilla ice cream. You should try it. Yum!
An absolute gem in every context.
The decorations and overall atmosphere are close to perfect.
Service is friendly and great.
But the highlight is of course the food. An ideal selection, not too much, not too little, of high quality, incredibly tastefully prepared meals.
Highly recommend the oysters as a starter and and ostrich main.
Overall, a must visit for tourists and an incredible treat for locals.
Wonderful ambiance, highly attentive service, delicious wine menu and unique ostrich main made this place positively exquisite. The garden is nicely decorated for evening meals outside and the we finished with cocktails in the bar which was equally stunning. Can’t recommend the ostrich enough— easily one of the best meals I’ve had in South Africa!
Kloof Street House is an incredible restaurant with a bustling atmosphere and a constant flow of people. The food is top-notch and the hospitality of Forrest is truly exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warmth and kindness, making you feel like a valued guest. The overall experience at Kloof Street House is nothing short of amazing and I cannot recommend it enough.
This was the best place we ate at in South Africa. My friend and I are both seasoned traveler with 50+ countries each and have eaten all over the world. This was one of the best restaurants we’ve been to. The atmosphere was amazing like a cozy living room. The service was great. Our waitress came over regularly to check up on us and have us good recommendations. The lamb was one of the best I’ve had but the stand out was the ostrich steak it was the best ostrich I’ve ever had by a mile. The chili grilled prawns was also really really good. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely time at Kloof street house. The food was delicious and there was a vast drinks menu to chose from. The ambience is cool and provides some good photo opportunities.
We did find the reservation process behind the times by having to email and also confirm the day before to email to avoid losing the reservation. It was also a cold evening and we couldn’t swap our outside reservation to inside but other than that would recommend.
Kloof Street House is a must-visit! With exceptional food, outstanding service, and a lively crowd, this restaurant truly stands out. Every dish was a delight, the staff were attentive and efficient, and the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience.
Ooh lah lah!!!!
What an amazing place with an amazing vibe! It is quite pricey but worth the money. The waitresses are stunning and the staff helpful.
Victorian-style restaurant with unique decor. Perfect place for drinks with friends or a romantic date night.
