Opposite Cape Town’s oldest lighthouse, Caffe Neo is a Mediterranean cafe, bar and deli founded nearly 20 years ago🧿
Founded by Michael Elias and his father, affectionately known as “Pappou”, Caffe Neo was born out of the tradition of the Greek Coffee House or “Kafenion” – a meeting place for connection and conversation.
The cafe is a hub for families, travellers, entrepreneurs, remote workers and journalists - and all their furry friends.
With our spectacular view and location on Cape Town’s promenade, we offer:
☀️ Open 7 days a week, 7am-7pm
🤌 Fresh, mediterranean dishes the way Pappou made it
🛜 Free wifi and abundant plug points

The humble dolma - and a staple at Caffe Neo - has made it into the BBC this week!
From their article:
“This labour-intensive dish has crossed empires, borders and belief systems, becoming a shared language of generosity around the world...
Dolma – named after the Turkish verb dolmak, meaning “to fill” or “to stuff” – refers to a broad family of dishes in which rice, meat, vegetables and spices are wrapped in pre-cooked leaves or stuffed into hollowed fruits and vegetables, and then baked, cooked or served as is. The concept is believed to have originated in the 15th-Century kitchens of the Ottoman Empire...
Under centuries of Ottoman rule, dolma spread across imperial territories, finding new homes in the Mediterranean, the Caucasus, the Balkans and the Middle East. As communities adapted it to local tastes and ingredients, it took on new names and new identities.”
