Top choice in Cape Town
German-born Harald Bresselschmidt is one of Cape Town’s most consistent chefs, producing creative, hearty dishes served with some of the Cape's best wines, several of which are made specially for the restaurant. Vegetarian menus are available, and the service and ambience are impeccable.
The restaurant occasionally hosts live music and wine tasting events at Auslese, their venue around the corner.
