Restaurant Week is still on, and Bouchon is making dinner plans very easy.
Join us for our 3-course tapas extravaganza for R350, designed for slow evenings, good w**e and a few very good plates along the way.
Tucked away on Hout Street, it’s the perfect excuse to settle in for dinner and make a night of it🍷
Available for dinner during Restaurant Week until 1 November.

A little something worth raising a glass to🍷
Bouchon has been voted #26 in the Top 100 of the 2026 Dineplan Reviewers’ Choice Awards.
What makes this one extra special is that it was voted for by you - our guests.
We’re incredibly proud, very grateful, and so thankful to everyone who has joined us for a glass, shared a few plates, left a review and kept coming back.
We’ll definitely be having a glass of w**e to celebrate this one.
Thank you, from all of us at Bouchon.

See you this weekend🍷

A good bottle. A few plates for the table. Somewhere tucked away from the noise.
Bouchon is the kind of place you disappear into for the evening.
Hidden down Hout Street, it’s intimate, relaxed and exactly the kind of spot made for long dinners and one more glass of w**e. 🍷

End-of-year plans are starting to take shape, and Bouchon has a few rather good places to gather. 🍷
For bigger celebrations, our W**e Cellar seats up to 30 guests amongst the barrels of Cape Town’s only working inner-city w**ery, with exclusive use available for groups of 25–30.
For something smaller, our Private Dining Room is tucked away in the original Cape Heritage Building and seats up to 12 guests - perfect for intimate dinners, business gatherings or a smaller year-end celebration.
Good w**e, generous plates and your own little corner of Bouchon for the evening.
Get in touch to start planning your end-of-year function or private dinner.

Weekend plans, sorted.
A table at Bouchon, a few plates for the middle, a bottle worth lingering over and nowhere else you need to be.
Tucked away on Hout Street, it’s the kind of place that makes a Friday night stretch a little longer.
3 tapas for R350 🍷

“Set within a historic urban w**ery, this intimate cellar oasis brings together a carefully curated w**e list with uncomplicated, flavour-packed tapas and elegant bistro plates designed to pair with whatever is being poured into your glass.”
A lovely little feature from Out and About, capturing exactly what we love about Bouchon. 🍷
Tucked away on Hout Street, we’re here for long evenings, good bottles, plates made for sharing and no real reason to rush home.

End-of-year functions always feel far away, until suddenly they’re next month.
Bouchon offers two considered spaces for private dining - our intimate private dining room for up to 12 guests, and our semi-exclusive w**e cellar for larger gatherings of up to 30.
Thoughtful tapas, excellent South African w**e, and a setting that feels special without trying too hard.
Reserve your space before the calendar gets away from you.

Friday calls for good w**e, a few plates for the table, and the kind of dinner that doesn’t need much explaining.
Simple, delicious, and dangerously easy to say yes to. 🍷
