Last week, the Fab 5 ladies, in collaboration with Venue 123 experienced a brasserie – styled menu at the foot of Cape Town’s vibrant Kloof Street.
Risen from a fairy-lit garden, lies a dining oasis. Set in a magnificent Victorian house, Kloof Street House is an experience as enigmatic as it is intimate.
Their grand old dame is more than just a restaurant, it is a collection of interesting rooms and spaces, each bursting with a character of its own.
The venue is everything for every occasion – live jazz over Sunday lunch, romantic candle lit dinners in their dining rooms or cocktails under the trees in the garden. Their delicious meals, cozy ambiance and friendly staff will make you feel right at home.
The Venue:
Beneath the pressed ceilings of this twentieth century Victorian house is a reservoir of design passion. From beautiful chandeliers to a suitcase-stacked bar, the restaurant is a visual feast for the diner with a curious mind and a wandering eye.
Every inch of the house is archival, a memoir of a time or place that escapes the modern city around us. As the chill of winter sets in, curl up on the chesterfield couches of their library lounge or savour the glow of the dining room fireplaces.
The Food:
Our brasserie-style menu is the expression of a love for creating delicious meals and a consciousness of their ingredients and where they come from.
