Rhodes Memorial Restaurant

Cape Town


This pleasant restaurant and al-fresco tearoom is located in a 1920 thatched-roof cottage behind the Rhodes Memorial. It’s family-run and specialises in Cape Malay dishes, such as curries, ostrich and butternut bobotie (a delicately flavoured curry with a topping of beaten egg baked to a crust), bredie (slow-cooked lamb and tomato stew) and potjie (meat and vegetable pot stew).

Bookings are advised on the weekends – especially on Sunday, when there's live jazz from 1pm to 4pm. The restaurant has a children's play area.
