126 Cape Kitchen & Cafe

4 Armien Davids - 5 months ago

Fast and friendly service and a typical array of Cape Malay Cuisine. A definite pitstop if ever you want to know what denning vleis is. They offer an iftar buffet but it's a waste especially when youre not able to eat your normal quantities. A suggestion to make it more competitive is relook your pricing tier in Ramadan and apply those charges in the other months especially when you have iftaar bookings

Looking for a different place to eat, I stumble across Cape Kitchen u0026 Cafe on Google.
Looks good and decide to try it out.
Spent a little while looking for it though, as there was no indication that it was inside another business.
I eventually called the number and then found out it was inside the Hyatt Regency Inn on Buitengracht Street in Cape Town.
What a lovely experience!!!
The waiter/attendee was very welcoming and gracious.
The restaurant was clean, and although it was situated in the hotel foyer, nicely seperated from any hotel activity.
The menu was available on QR scanner so I would advise that you have this app on your mobile.
It doesn't have a large menu, but it had what I love. STEAK!!!
It came with the option of one side and one sauce.
I opted for a buttery mash with my 300gr Rib Eye, while my wife did the fries with her 300gr Sirloin.
Lovely. Mine was perfectly cooked, medium to well done, but the wife was slightly underdone and always concerned about saying something negative about the food, we decided to brave it and spoke to the waiter and our request was surprisingly well received and promptly attended to.
After we had placed our order, we were served with a complimentary bread and butter basket, and this is probably my only negative.
There was no side plate forthcoming so we had to make do with eating this off our serviettes.
Other than that I will and have already recommended this "cafe" to friends and relatives

I went during Ramadaan for their iftaar menu with 3 friends.
I was extremely disappointed in almost all the food….The vegetable pakoras had no taste as well as the veg samoosas.
The curries looked nice but no salt or taste. The butter chicken was way too hot could not even tatse it. They served Falooda which tasted like a pink milk drink, no rose taste at all. Halim (soup) was the worst ive ever had.

Cannot think that they can serve food like that to people.

Lovely food with a great atmosphere and vibe. The ribs and quinoa burger were tantalising and the boeber was the perfect dessert to end of the night. The service from sibo was amazing and she went the extra mile to be polite!

Prices are very steep for small portions (probably to be expected from a fine dining restaurant), but we were surprised by the lack of flavour and substance of the main courses.

We ordered saj breads (basically naan breads with a filling). The taste was good but the bread wasn't properly fried/cooked so the edges were raw dough.

3 of the dishes we wanted were not available. So we took the roast chicken (title: home away from home) and the duck duo. No flavour or seasoning in either main course. Also, the menu description including items that were not served in the dish.

The tea and iced coffee were really good, and the deconstructed carrot cake dessert was amazing. The meringue dessert was just okay. Desserts were well priced though.

The table next to us ordered steaks and immediately asked for a salt shaker, so I'm assuming it also lacked a bit of flavour.

The hostess became our waitress and offered exceptional service. Our actual waitress had an "intern" badge, and definitely wasn't trained because she claimed she had no idea what the dishes tasted like, nor how they were made or looked.

If you go, they validate your parking so no need to park outside.

MIGHT go back for dessert and coffee, but not for a meal.

Very nice decor and ambiance. Food was good although a bit pricey and the portions were a tad bit small. Recommend the mussels and prawns. Service wasn’t the best and you have to pay R50 for underground parking which is a bit of a ripoff

Pretty slick service, chic and modern decor and a very relaxed atmosphere make for a really enjoyable dining experience. The menu is very eclectic and varied, so if burgers, fish u0026 chips or pizza are your thing, this isn't for you. The dessert options were with limited and unusual, but giving a nod to the traditional, like crème brulee out chocolate mousse wouldn't hurt. It's also halaal, therefore no alcohol is served. It was quite pricey, but that's fully expected given its CBD location.
