It is with a very heavy heart we share the news of the passing of Sylvester Dube. He was the last of Solly’s 3 Musketeers, and one of the 1st employees of Millers Thumb. After a long battle with illness, he returned to his ancestral home some time ago, to spend the last little while with his blood relatives. He leaves his wife, Patricia and young daughter Rosey. Thank you for the years, thank you for the lessons, and thank you for the memories. You will be sorely missed. Rest in peace ‘The Slyzer’ ♥️

One day … 😜

“I'm asked a lot what the best thing about cooking for a living is. And it's this: to be a part of a subculture. To be part of a historical continuum, a secret society with its own language and customs. To enjoy the instant gratification of making something good with one's hands—using all one's senses. It can be, at times, the purest and most unselfish way of giving pleasure...”

- Anthony Bourdain

Miller's Thumb Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves Cajun and Creole cuisine. This local Cape Town eatery has been serving up legendary fish, calamari, and steak since 1995, and the overall experience is guaranteed to be unforgettable. The restaurant's New Orleans-style classics are a particular highlight, and Solly's famous Cajun fish is not to be missed.

But what really sets Miller's Thumb apart is the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. It's clear that they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. And with loyal patrons like Bennie Rabinowitz (may he rest in peace), it's easy to see why Miller's Thumb has become such an institution in Cape Town.

Overall, if you're looking for a fantastic dining experience that combines great food with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere, look no further than Miller's Thumb Restaurant.
