The Dark Horse

5 Lee-Anne Curtis-Cox - a week ago

I've always only been to The Dark Horse for a quick drink before moving onto dinner. It took friends from JHB to suggest meeting there for something to eat before I realized there was even a menu board on the wall! ????

And oh my goodness - What have I been missing! Their tapas dishes are well portioned and out-of-this-world tasty, with a nice variety to choose from. My definite favorites were the thick cut chips and the pulled pork bitterballen.

The bar / restaurant was not as full as I usually experience it, so I cannot comment on how efficient the food service would be if it was full. But on our evening out, the food actually arrived quicker than our drinks order.

One can sit outside facing the street on bar chairs, inside on couches and benches, or upstairs with breath taking views of the mountain. Nice vibey atmosphere.

I really enjoy this place! The atmosphere, the food, the views, it's all great! It is essential to book if you want a rooftop view. Also some of the cocktails on the board downstairs, are not on the menu, so it's important to look at that before proceeding to the rooftop.
I really recommend this place. I'll be going back again and again.

We popped in for a quick lunch, what a find! The decor is eclectic and interesting! The food was delicious. Service was good! Can’t believe more people don’t go in the day! It’s stunning!

Great eclectic bar and social spot with experienced barstaff, that make brilliant cocktails, have great selection of local bespoke wines. Little upstairs section on roof and cosy seating inside. Food is small plates and few main menu items that change up every so often. Great vibe and can get quite rowdy over the weekends.

Great atmosphere to just chill on the comfortable coaches if that's what you're in the mood for, and an outdoor rooftop area to enjoy the sun on your face while enjoying your tapas with friends.
