Upper Bloem Restaurant

Cape Malay meets fine dining in this restaurant for a great evening experience that was full of flavor. Staff was very nice and helpful and if I had to suggest something that’d be to improve the extraction system so you could enjoy the scents from the food clearer. A great experience for a relatively good price (specially good if you come from Europe!)

We had a fantastic dining experience at Upper Bloem. The Cape inspired dishes were delicious and works great as plates to share. There is also an exceptional collection of local wines.
Friendly and attentive service rounded off a great evening. We will definitely be back again.

Excellent food, unique and very interesting flavors, also beautifully balanced, very satisfying and intriguing.

The staff is amazing! The triple cooked potatoes where outstanding! Overall value for quality, unlike few.

Had a phenomenal lunch here yesterday - 6 shared courses for R195. Everything was executed perfectly. Flavors were both complex and refined. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this new comer (its been open for 5 months) cause I’d be shocked if it doesn’t get a Michelin this year.

We managed to get to Upper Bloem at the second time of asking as we couldn't find a place to park first time because Ed Sheeran was playing at Green Point stadium and the area was full of people with a pathological hatred of music.
Anyway I'm so pleased that we made the time to rearrange our visit as the food was spectacular. The food takes its influence from Cape Malay cuisine and each course has three tasting plates. One of our party is expecting at the moment and was unable to eat anything raw, the kitchen provided her with a vegetarian alternative to each dish which she reports was delicious.
The wine selection was excellent.
If we lived in Cape Town rather than London we would certainly be returning customers.
