Kloof Street House

Situated towards the bottom of Kloof Street in a Victorian building is a fantastical dining experience.

Inside, Gatsby-style furnishings set the scene, while a treed courtyard provides the backdrop for laidback jazzy brunches such as Eggs Benedict with smoked Norwegian salmon, smoked bacon, or mushrooms and spinach; or a traditional breakfast with a teriyaki beef-banger twist, to name a couple. Then order a cocktail (mimosa, espresso martini, Bellini, Bloody Mary) and soak up the scene.

Breakfast served Monday, 12pm – 4pm
Tuesday – Sunday, 10am – 4pm

The Yard

In the Silo District of the V&A Waterfront, this bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a contemporary, open-plan space. 

The breakfast menu offers exciting variations on the usual themes, such as The Big Bombay: Indian-style scrambled eggs, roasted vine tomatoes, crispy potato rosti, breakfast dal, lamb sausage with sauteed spinach and homemade flatbread. Not quite sure what you fancy? Well, you can build your own breakfast or try one of the specials on the chalkboard – it gets updated with new scrumptious options every day.

Blue Café

This historic neighbourhood café’s tables and chairs are jam-packed with food and patrons, all the way down the narrow pavement. 

A gathering place for the community, it has Table Mountain as backdrop and is surrounded by beautiful Victorian buildings. 

All dishes are made from scratch using only the freshest local ingredients, often supplied by the Tamboerskloof community. 

On a chilly day, try the creamy oats with stewed fruit or go for the full monty – scrambled eggs, bacon, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and a butter croissant with white cheddar.

Breakfast served Monday – Sunday, 7.30am – 4pm

This is my first attempt. I hope it tastes just like my granny's mealie bread. She used to mince corn with her old-fashioned mincing machine. The type with the handle one has to turn like a crank handle. Mealie bread was traditionally made by steaming rather than baking. Perfect for camp fires. Her mealie bread was delicious and moist. It makes a great side dish for any braai or barbeque and is great on its own, as well. INGREDIENTS 1 cup (250 ml) chopped onions or thinly sliced leeks 360 (3 cups) grams plain flour (all-purpose/standard grade) 1 Tablespoon baking powder 3 eggs (large) 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk salt Paprika 2 Tablespoons (60 grams) butter melted 2 tins corn (410 grams each) 1 cup (250 ml) grated cheddar cheese ¾ cup (180 ml) plain yoghurt METHOD Preheat the oven to 190°C.
