Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner in a cosy innercity eatery.
This striking Victorian building where Kloof Street House resides has housed many well-heeled restaurants over the years, the most recent of which is Kloof Street House, set back from the bustling high street in a serene treed courtyard.
Inside, Gatsby-esque furnishings and finishes set the scene for a fantastical dining experience. Think lofty ceilings, deep-buttoned leather sofas, a cosy fireplace library and dark-wood floors, with subtle lighting, candlelit tables and three crackling fireplaces creating a cosy ambience.
Outside, a sheltered courtyard, with fairy lights, heaters, twinkling candles and greenery is the only place to be for cosy winter brunches, lunches and dinner soirées. Toss in a live-jazz set on Sunday afternoons from 1pm, and you have the makings of an unforgettable afternoon in the innercity.
Warming winter special
From now until end-October 2021, this serene innercity sanctuary is offering diners an unbeatable lunch deal: R195 for two courses or R225 for three courses.
For starters, expect the likes of pan-fried Patagonian calamari; soup of the day; whole-baked camembert; Chalmar beef fillet tartare; and roasted chili and garlic prawns, followed by mains of Moroccan-spiced lamb rump; lentil artichoke bake; grilled Norweigan salmon; and a beef burger; with sweet endings of sticky malva pudding; dark chocolate fondant; and salted caramel cheesecake.
