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 wine cellar for larger gatherings of up to 30.
Thoughtful tapas, excellent South African wine, and a setting that feels special without trying too hard.
Reserve your space before the calendar gets away from you.

Friday calls for good wine, 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. 🍷

Why choose one when you can have three?
Pick 3 tapas for R350, add a bottle of wine, and let dinner get a little carried away.

A very unofficial Bouchon rule: if you’re debating between two dishes, order both.
Add a bottle from the wine list and consider the weekend officially started.

A new week at Bouchon.
Good wine, plates made for sharing, and our daily tapas special - 3 tapas for R335.
Settle in, choose a bottle from the wine list and make an evening of it.

Good food deserves good wine, and at Bouchon, we take both seriously.
Settle in, share a few plates and find a new favourite from the wine list.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
Enjoy 3 tapas for R335, and make an evening of it with a bottle of local wine from our carefully selected wine list.

Good wine, generous plates and an evening worth taking your time over.
Settle in at Bouchon for dishes designed to share, a bottle from our carefully selected wine list and nowhere urgent to be.

A murder, a few suspicious dinner guests and absolutely no chance of a quiet evening.
Join us at Bouchon for a murder mystery night with Dinners To Die For filled with clues, twists, good food and some very questionable alibis.

Set inside a charming urban winery, wine is naturally at the heart of Bouchon.
Our wine list is something we’re especially proud of, celebrating local producers and the incredible wines grown and made across our region. Pair a bottle with a few plates to share and settle in for the evening.

A table, a few plates to share, and a bottle worth taking your time over.
Bouchon evenings, exactly as they should be.

We’re very pleased to share that Bouchon Bistro has been nominated as a 2026 Eat Out Neighbourhood Gem ✨
The nomination comes from chefs, restaurant owners, and food professionals across the country, which makes it all the more meaningful.
A big thank you to our team and to everyone who continues to support Bouchon.

Some dishes earn their permanent place on the menu.
Our baked Camembert is a Bouchon staple - warm, indulgent, and the kind of tapas plate that tends to disappear rather quickly. Best enjoyed with good bread, an excellent glass of wine, and perhaps no intention of sharing. 🍷
