What a beautifully relaxed ambiance with a view of the commons /farm village lawns where children and young couples play and bask in the sun. There were families filling what appeared to be all the tables and it seemed full and my husband and I were ravenous and disheartened that we wouldn't get space and would have a long wait before getting service...this was not the case...we were seated outside and brought our chilled white wine within minutes...And the food...well let's just say that tasting their shroom Burger should be on every vegetarian and meat eaters culinary bucket list!!!
What an amazing spot best live music and the food especially the pizza one of the best in Cape Town! Only the freshest and best ingredients 5*. The hosts Vanessa and Michael are amazing!!!
Really wonderful food and service, and great value too.
Had a quick breakfast here last week. Really enjoyed the breakfast and chai latte. Service was good too.
My partner and I popped into the Noordhoek Farm Village for brunch and to explore the village on our weekend away. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain and so we ran for shelter and found ourselves at Cafe Roux. The restuarant was quite full but the service was excellent. Phyllis was absolutely wonderful and attended to our every need. My soaking wet coat was very grateful that our table was right next to the fire place!
My partner and I shared mint tea which was super refreshing! I ordered the "Shroom Burger" and my partner ordered a chicken wrap. I really enjoyed the burger, although I did ask for the gerkins to be removed (which they were unfortunately not). My partner really enjoyed his wrap though!
Overall, if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely pop in again for the wonderful service and friendly atmosphere.

Fabulous settings and great personalized service too. The food selection is wide and prices are fair. There is live music from 2pm and it adds up to the laid back yet sophisticated atmosphere. Recommended
We often come to Cafe Roux as a family on the weekends for lunch or tea. It's situated in the lovely Noordhoek Farm Village with a lovely outside seating area. Last time we visited we had great service and the burger was one of the most delicious I have ever tasted. Their deserts are also great and we often come for tea and cakes too.
Nice selection of meals, not amazing selection though. Always good service and a nice vibe in the restaurant. It can get quite loud but still a nice place to take younger kids.
Good food, beautiful setting. Only downside is the exceptionally slow service.
We live in the area so we've been many many times. The coffee is great and the live events are wonderful.
I ate at Café Roux for the first time before watching one of my friends perform. The outside seating area is really lovely and relaxing. The service wasn’t that great, in fact, we had to go to our waiter to ask for the bill at the end of our meal but maybe that was because it was quite busy. The pasta dish that we both had looked delicious but it was unfortunately so overpowered by the sauce that you could not taste any of the other ingredients, the pasta was also a little on the overdone side. After our meal outside we went and sat at our table inside and watched the show. The décor inside is simple and the bar is done out nicely. I will definitely go back to give them another try. It is quite pricey for the portion sizes but with such a beautiful setting I look forward to going back and trying more.
Great live entertainment and the fish was done perfectly. The whine list has a great choice and the service was friendly and quick. I'm surprised that there is so few people at such a great venue! Sticky pudding made me score it a perfect 5!
Super cool chill out spot, service needs a little work but the food was excellent and the music was awesome. The back of the restaurant just needs way better lighting. See who is performing go have fun!
Highly recommend the salmon breakfast. Simple but delicious. Cappuccinos are good too.
Vibe is warm and cosy inside (cold day) place is almost always packed and it humms. I believe the evenings get somewhat festive with live bands.
Great local establishment 👌🏼
In five minutes they managed to make us two of the best pizzas in our lives. And it is in a stunning setting. I wish that we weren't so rushed on our tour, but Cafe Roux made it happen!
This is a really lovely place to eat outdoors at, especially with kids, because they have an outdoor jungle gym/play area. The food is absolutely delicious (also fantastic vegetarian options). I can't remember what it was called, but the roasted veggie pizza I had was incredible! Will go back specially to order that again. ☀️
Three words: Vegan Chocolate Cake 😍💫🙌😭
Oh my word! I’m a huge fan of brownies, lava cake, chocolate cake - but this one is life changing. If you haven’t been planning to come to Cafe Roux, come for the cake! 100% the best one you’ll have in CT if not even in your life 😂 not kidding. A slice of warm, gooey, not too sweat goodness - Thank me later, you are welcome! 👑
Went for a 3 course new years eve dinner. Great food but their beers are pretty overpriced. Friendly waiters and barmen, good selection of drinks, fairly fancy food as well and everything tastes quite fresh, which is definitely a win for me. They had live music which was quite fun and handed out a free glass of bubbles to everyone who booked the function. A lunch visit is also nice as the setting is very pretty in quiet little noordhoek. Would recommend
The food here is great and the staff are very friendly. Don't order coffee if it is busy, because you'll be waiting for it for a while. There is a great play area for kiddies and the toilets are clean and neat. Breakfast is served until 16:00.
A really fantastic place for a bite and for the shows. The Roux pizza and the tiramisu cheesecake I had was really amazing
There are not enough words to say about this piece of heaven. I could literally not choose as there were way too many items I wanted to taste. Pure artistry... I could sit and stare at those desserts for hrs and still not be able to figure out how it was made... Such welcoming friendliness from the staff.... But man oh man could I not just be there in the cnr watching these artists at work? What an amazing place... Please do get a croissant of some sorts... It will leave u at a loss for words
Lovely setting friendly efficient staff and great food and options
The most amazing goosebumps giving dishes. What a gem of a restaurant. Great service and excellent food at reasonable prices.
