a Place with a room for every type of event, person and vibe! Best local Craft beer selection. With there house beer as a Drunken Donkey that kick some serious ass! Great food and vegetarian options, and two fire places!
Having been on my to try list for a while, we were certainly not disappointed! The food was outstanding, from the chillie popper starter to the chicken tacos, cheese burgers, and chocolate brownie - 10/10!! loved the atmosphere and our waiter was friendly and attentive, we really can't wait to come again! Highly recommend! Thank you for an amazing evening!!
A lovely restaurant with a fireplace, perfect for Winter! The service can be a bit slow but the setting makes up for it. The food is tasty and wholesame, would definitely visit again.
I cannot stress how wonderful this restaurant is. I have only had amazing experiences here. The atmosphere is low key, quirky, and is the right mix between funky energy and calm away from the bus world. The food is always excellent and the service too! I will keep supporting this superb place for as long as I live in Cape Town!
What a little gem! The food was fresh and delicious and really reasonably priced. The decor and service was great too. We'll definitely come back!
Love it! The food is absolutely delicious! And the staff is very sweet as well, I keep going there for the good food and good vibes. Good experience
This is my favourite Mexican restuarant in Observatory. The atmosphere is great and relaxed. Sitting next to the fire place on a cold night with friends is a perfect night out. The food is delicious beyond comparison. At first look the tacos look small but they fill you. That coupled with their range of craft beers and events makes this a must visit spot
The ambiance scored this place a 3 on it’s own. Such a delightful place to visit and amazing design concepts. Each room feels like a different location, but each location as equally lovely as the next.
The coffee was okay, a bit below average. The food was not too bad, just a bit too spicy for my bland food loving self. However the portions are amazing for the price and it’s definitely a new experience.
The service was extremely slow, but it was a busy day(the manager personally came to explain this). So for that I won’t deduct anything.
I love the decor and how clean and fresh the place is. The food is lovely and the service is always good. The waiters have always been very friendly and helpful. It's a great place if you want to have a relaxed lunch by yourself - I do it all the time! Keep an eye out for those lunch specials!
Really enjoyed our meal here. Such an interesting and cozy venue offering a variety of seating areas. The jalapeno popper burger was just the perfect thing I was looking for. Generous, juicy and delicious. There was a DJ on the night, but the music did not overwhelm the conversation.
I'll be coming back here regularly to try the different rooms and dishes.
Quirky little cafe hidden in lower Observatory. Delicious tacos, friendly staff and offbeat retro decor. Only concerning factor is the "beware of pickpockets" signed littered throughout the restaurant.
The name of this place suits it. I love the fact that the rooms in the house remain intact so you can have a meal in an actual dining room or tea in a living room by a fireplace. I've only ever been there during quiet times which has made my experience even better because it creates the illusion that I have the whole place to myself. A visit here is worth it.
Patrick is one of the best waiters I ever seen You guys were super busy, the restaurant was at capacity, and he was fantastic! I appreciate a server who does a great job, and he handled our table of 4 adults with a perfect display of relaxed competence. Well done!

Good food, reasonably priced. I ate there twice in the same week - lunch & supper. There was a nice buzz in the evening - though didn't have the same vibe at midday. There are several small rooms (each a bit different), which makes for an intimate & varied experience. Overall it was an enjoyable atmosphere & I'll definitely add it to my regular places to eat list.
Great restaurant and brilliant staff. I hosted a birthday dinner here. What makes this place unique is that it was a house converted into an beautiful aesthetic restaurant . I was able to book a room for the whole night at no extra charge. The room I was in could accommodate 20 people. The Manager Pooven was very helpful and made sure that the night went very smoothly. My night was very memorable thanks to how attentive and helpful the staff were.The food is amazing and not too expensive . I Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to host or even to stop by for something to eat. There is also paid parking lot available across the street.
I never leave reviews but I had to for this place. the owner Pooven is one of a kind as goes the extra mile to create a welcoming space. he made my 21st very special and was incredibly patient. don't miss out
I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. the one waiter called Patrick his brilliant such a nice guy I will come there again just to tip him he's service was appreciated Saturday evening, I had to share this experience with my friends thumbs up Patrick🤗
The atmosphere was amazing! Very homey and hidden nooks and crannies all over the house. Our waiter, Bobby, did such a great job serving us. He was the only waiter and ran the whole shop on a Saturday night #thisguyneedsaraise. Naturally we waited a bit longer, but he attended to all our needs with such grace and we didn't mind the wait at all! The food was absolutely delicious, can recommend this place for an intimate or group dinner as well as a place for pre drinks/good bar vibes. Definitely a must if you're in obs <3
Came here for pre drinks, cosy atmosphere, a great place to chill and start your evening, 4 stars because the big window in the ladies toilet needs fixing other than that staff were friendly and we enjoyed our time here.
Phenomenally run place, with a great atmosphere, great food and awesome live music.
A go-to fave!
Don’t come here expecting formalities or to be waited on hand & foot.
The space is quite big & the team is great at making you feel welcome & comfy! Very much like you’re visiting your bestie’s house, if your bestie casually also made BOMB food & had great drinks on tap.
Yummy snacks & meals, super cosy & comfy environment, great team that’s super welcoming & friendly.
Side note: their coffee is really good. Like, better than you’d expect.
Went for dinner last night. They have ladies night on a Thursday so there are discounts on some cocktails. We had the ribs and the pavement special. The food was good and the restaurant is quaint and cute. Staff are attentive and always checking that you okay. Love the fireplaces in the house though we didn't sit too close as wouldn't want to leave. I will definitely be back to come and chill and have a drink. Sorry I took one photo of the pavement special as my love for all things rissoto knows no bounds.
