Just a single delicate spoonful of our tart, pink grapefruit sorbet brings the cleansing magic, as you anticipate the arrival of your mains. Consider your tastebuds officially woken up. Now for the big question... which dish did you decide to try tonight?

Ooooh, can you just imagine getting stuck into the gorgeous sticky gochujang glaze and the succulent meat on these baby pork ribs. Accompanied by the crunch of a fresh celery, orange and apple remoulade. On this gorgeous sunshiny Spring Day you can grab these off our Winter Street Food menu. What a treat.

When the burger craving hits ... where are you heading? We’ve got the ultimate cure on our Street Food Fiesta menu: the TTK BEEF BURGER. We’re talking a pillowy soft Japanese milk bun stuffed to absolute maximum capacity with a crazy juicy beef patty, rich truffle mayo, red onion, pickled cucumber and perfectly melted cheddar cheese. Unadulterated comfort food. Get properly stuck in!

It might sound humble, but it’s an undeniable guest favourite. Among all the intricacies on our menu, our bread course consistently steals the show, and one bite makes it clear why.
We’ve taken two absolute staples of Cape cuisine and given them the Fledgelings treatment: Golden Vetkoek, served piping hot with an irresistible, crispy exterior and pillowy, soft interior with a touch of salt on top, served with Snoek Paté, silky smooth and capturing the authentic flavour of the Cape.
It’s local comfort food, refined and elevated. Trust us... you’re definitely going to want seconds.

Every Friday, a room appears that doesn’t exist anywhere else.
The Nest is Luke Dale Robert’s alter ego ~ where he and the next generation of chefs plate a six-course menu and live entertainment sets the rhythm as the night tastefully unfolds.
It’s not a supper club you can explain. It’s one you have to experience to understand.
This is what it feels like to be inside it ❤️🔥
Fridays only. Limited availability. Link in bio to book.
