For our waiters, there’s no better feeling in the world.
After that first round of drinks, a bond is formed.
Please stay for another round💙

We're not saying a Negroni and Seafood platter will solve all your problems, but it's worth a try. 😉

Picture this: it’s 1999, the edge of a new millennium, and the Van Vuuren family decides Kalk Bay could use a little Cuban chaos. One bold idea later, Cape to Cuba was born. 💙

She said take me dancing and ended up at Cape to Cuba. 💃🏻

Imagine actually being there instead.

Cape to Cuba is the only place that could turn your Friday night into one you’ll swear only exists in a different country.
You can’t explain it to your friends because it is impossible to explain. You just have to bring them so that they can experience it for themselves.

POV: You promised yourself “just one cocktail,” but now the DJ’s got you moving, the staff is cheering, and somehow it feels like the weekend could last forever.🔥

Where else are you starting the night with Cuban-inspired plates, surrounded by old Havana energy and ocean air drifting in from Kalk Bay? Before you know it, you're on a dance floor with some of the best DJs in Cape Town.
Only at Cape to Cuba.
18/03/2026
It always starts the same way.
A lazy “So… what are we doing this weekend?” in the group chat.
A few half-hearted suggestions.
And then silence.
Until someone says, “Cape to Cuba?” and suddenly it’s settled.
Cuban flavours, bold colours, cocktails with attitude, and a DJ who understands the assignment.
Weekend plans?
They were waiting in Kalk Bay the whole time.
16/03/2026
By day, we’re all about sunshine, long lunches and cocktails that taste as the weekend should.
But when the sun dips, our DJs take over, the lights get low, and the place slowly turns into a dance floor.
Same spot, just a whole new vibe.
