Dash Restaurant Cape Town

Relaxed setting next to the busy Vu0026A Waterfront. I enjoyed the view of Table Mountain, the interior is beautiful and modern with comfortable chairs unlike the outside.

Prefer sitting outside for the atmosphere though

Celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary with them. Must say we were blown away with the effort these guys put in. From special parking to drinks on arrival. The food was amazing and the waiter was 15 out of 10. Had a wonderful evening they really made our anniversary extra special.

I've never heard of this restaurant before till I decided to search around the Vu0026A yesterday in my lunch break. So I came across Dash. It's a bit hidden away. I quickly pulled out my phone and looked at some Google reviews. "Well... Others seem to like it." I thought to myself. So I made a reservation for evening.

When my wife and I arrived we were greeted by the friendliest staff imaginable. From the get go we knew it would be a memorable evening.

My wife had a Dash-In-A-Box drink which she thoroughly enjoyed. Since I had to drive I just stuck to the boring stuff.

Even though the food menu was highly priced we decided to each do a 6 course taster valued at R650 pp. At first I was skeptical as the portions, we were told, were very small... Will it be enough? With this 6 course tasting you get 3 starters (set options), 2 mains (choice between duck u0026 line fish and then a choice between beef and venison) and lastly a desert.

From the get go the starters were amazing. Every bite is full of explosive taste. We're were waiting for our second round of starter to arrive when a man, the floor manager I presumed, came to us to chat a bit. He said if we liked the food thus far we should wait for the mushroom starter. At this point I was thinking, "... Really? Mushrooms. What is so special about that?" Well... The very first bite blew my mind. Have you ever had food that was so good that you wish the whole world around you could just quiet down and disappear so that you can indulge in this epic moment? That was exactly what happened with the mushroom starter. I would highly recommend this dish. Upon my next visit I'll order just this starter but double up on its portions.

The rest of the food that followed was also incredibly delicious through to the desert.

After we had our dinner I sat there thinking that I had way too much to eat but it was so worth it. So my initial skepticism of whether the food would be enough was definitely quenched.

Dash has wine and food pairings too that we regrettably did not yet participate in.

There is also a older man who plays the piano in the foyer and sings which adds some lovely ambience.

If you're looking for a lovely night out on a date with food more tastier than anything you've had before then this is the place.

Stunning warm decor and entry with a piano singer in the hotel lobby. It’s tucked away but worth finding. The chef’s tasting menu was on par with great Michelin finds in other international cities. Incredible value when you consider the exchange rate. I thought the wine pairings were a phenomenally paired representation of South African Old-New-world Wines in different styles and Varietals. No bad bites, culinary design elements and styles that were artistic, entirely edible, unique, and memorable. The panna cotta at the conclusion of the meal left me pondering how lucky I am. Great for big groups with a remarkable cocktail selection too! Enjoy!

Had a disappointing evening, after having the highest expectations. Food on the website not available, and the food menu is quite limited. Was so excited to celebrate my fiancé birthday as he loves the foodie experience and thought his mind would be blown, but nothing on the reviews painted true picture of what we experienced. Standard drinks not available, out of stock, sauce options on the menu also not available. Expected exceptional food quality due to the chefs portrayed on the website, never received anything close to chef quality, steaks were overcooked, and lacked flavour. We did however receive great service from the waitress and a free round of drinks as an apology to the abysmal night. Atmosphere was lacking, mosquitos loved it though.

This is a hidden gem, I had the tasting menu along with wine pairing and the food was truly exceptional, the staff were well informed with the local wines and quick to share their knowledge, the chef is a genius at combining flavors and textures on a plate. Highly recommended!!

What a treat!
Not only you feel welcome and well served, all dishes are presented in a sophisticated though fine way.
Dishes are of greatest freshness, wines are sublime!
Service is just great - if you like wines, just ask, all explanations are given with passion.

Not easy to find, it is located inside the posh Victoria hotel.

Definitely a great diner.
Count 1700 ZAR for 3 course and wine for 2 people. You will not be disappointed.
