Kloof Street House

4 Vikash Parbhoo - 4 months ago

Located along the bustling Kloof street, you arrive to an intimate garden setting - both with open air and covered seating areas. Internally, multiple lounge type and dining areas are on offer - well decorated to provide a comfortable yet homey feel to your dining experience.

The food options are truly delicious. I recommend the 3-course lunch special which runs in the winter periods, allowing you to experience multiple flavours. (Vegetation and vegan options are on offer)

My only point of criticism is the disappointing service. Service is slow, unpolished and does not equate itself to the calibre of such a restaurant.

This was an absolute treat. The Victorian-style decor is beautiful. The service was top notch from the minute we entered until we left. We opted for the winter lunch special which is a two-course or three-course meal. The two-course meal is R195 p.p and three-course meal is R235 p.p - I had the mussels for starter and hake for main which was incredible. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

Worth the hype! Lovely, welcoming staff. The whole interior looks like a mix between a fortune teller‘s salon and something from the Southern States. The chef was able to convert a vegetarian dish into a vegan one, bursting with flavour. Very customer-forward and all in all an outstanding experience!

Very popular and trendy bar/restaurant with pretty outside terrace - food was good and our server was very friendly. However, the place generally had a ‘too cool for school’ vibe that didn’t sit well with us. We waited about 90 minutes for a table despite there obviously being loads available that were never filled. So would suggest booking in advance unless you’re happy to wait all night to eat.

This is a great place with delicious food and great ambiance. The place gets very busy and understandably so. So why three stars you ask?

Well, we were seated outside under the trees and lights which had a great ambiance. But we had several uninvited guests. We saw at least three big rats running around on the walls next to us and climbing on the trees next to us. The branches were right over our heads. Imagine eating with rats hanging on the branches over your head. It wasn’t a pleasant experience and I am sure it’s also a health hazard.

We brought it to the attention of our server but even though she seemed surprised to see rats and sympathized, she never offered to move us (maybe because the place was packed).

Nevertheless, she played it off nonchalantly instead of doing anything about it.

We ate the starters rapidly and left with most of our main dishes unfinished.

Such a beautiful restaurant. Quite exceptional. So warm and cosy. The beginning of service was flowing and prompt, however the whole experience was ruined after we waited 30 minutes for our dessert order to be taken after which we gave up and left. Surprisingly the restaurant was very quiet so it was disappointing and unnecessary. Such a pity as it could have been a beautiful experience.

What a thoroughly enjoyable place. Kloof Street House, takes you back in time to the 1920’s in an old Victorian era with the high ceilings, decor, and friendly staff. Each room in the house has been completely converted into a dining space from that time, with a fireplace in each room. The food was 5 star hotel quality presentation and delicious. So definitely worth a second visit.
