    One of the best salmon Eggs Benedict breakfasts I've had. The restaurant is an intimate setup (not too many tables inside or outside). I enjoyed my seat at an outdoor table. There were a few patrons seated but I was still so surprised by how quickly I received my order. The food was fresh and tasty, the atmosphere relaxed and Tamryn, my server, was super sweet and friendly. Definitely one of East London's gems.

    An awesome spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and something savoury or sweet. A must visit. On the same premises please support the Small Produce Deli. Fresh fruit and vegetables, sauces, frozen berries, venison products and much more.

    DON’T MISS THIS PLACE. The food is outstanding. Cooked with passion, love, and an eye for detail. We had an amazing time there. One of the best restaurants during our entire trip. The waiter and chef were incredibly considered and professional which made the experience even better. Thank you guys for putting so much effort in and to make it everything but mainstream. We will be back ;)

    What a great little restaurant. The food was 5 stars, unique and delicious. It's a quaint restaurant, requires a booking, small seating areas but good atmosphere. The service was very good and fairly priced for East London.

    Absolutely loved our first visit. The SWAE coffee was to die for. Great to support local businesses

    The Kitchen Table has the most delicious coffee, the friendliest and most efficient staff, everything on the menu is top notch and the atmosphere is just perfect for a quick catch up with close friend's or to break away from the office. Harold and his T.E.A.M run a tight ship and one can expect smooth sailing once you're in their presence. I'd rate it 100 stars if Google allowed me.

    Arriving 8am sharp, I entered the establishment, with all tables open and a friendly waitress guiding me to my table. After looking at the menu, I ordered a Latte and a Bacon Eggs Benedict, which both got served to me within 30mins. The bacon was to well-done, making it difficult to cut or eat. But it is not the first time I’ve been here, so I know that it was most likely a trainee that was in the kitchen. Overall it was an excellent breakfast, even with well-done bacon. The Kitchen Table provides a unique dining experience in East London of all places and soon wish to try a dinner experience, if I get the chance. It’s only on Wednesdays and Fridays, I was told to book a table in advance because it comes full quickly.

    After a disappointing first trip, this place has become my absolute favourite. Food is amazing and there is so much to choose from. Staff are helpful, recommending wine etc.. price is reasonable and it's a must go to for all .

    Friendly staff for my delicious brunch home-made bagel and freshly made ginger and apple drink. I'll be back if I'm in East London again.

    East Londoners are the fortunate ones, having The Kitchen Table on their doorstep. It is a unique and very special restaurant, with a relaxed and casual atmosphere but with chefs who produce food of the finest quality. They are passionate about food and cooking and each dish I have eaten there reflects this. The staff is very attentive, pleasant and well-trained and the decor is warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, I don't live in East London but won't hesitate to return to The Kitchen Table on my next visit.

    Everything is great except that you should not go there hungry. The portion sizes were so small I thought they were joking.

  • 5/5 Tracey L. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent experience. The chicken bacon and avo open sandwich was incredible. My husband ordered the Bao bun, which was so tasty! The coffee is delicious from swae too which is a great added bonus.

  • 5/5 Juniper N. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I went for dinner. It was load shedding but the restaurant was so cozy and intimate. The food was spectacular! It far exceeded our expectations. The jalapeño and cheese croquette, beef tataki and chicken potstickers were delicious. We didn’t love the canelle dessert, but the experience was brilliant

    Great menu options for vegetarians and diabetic people. Most amazing presentation and they had a musician playing live. Brilliant.

    We attended the Tapas evening- the food was outstanding: the best fine dining experience in East London! I will definitely recommend Kitchen Table and also be back again myself :)

    A very intimate set-up. Parking inside the lot as well as outside, I was lucky to find them open on Freedom Day. The food is well priced, well prepared and well presented. The service is efficient and the atmosphere very relaxing. I would definitely recommend this resturant for a break away from the bustle.

  • 5/5 Aubrey C. 7 months ago on Google
    Loved the vibe and the wonderfully cozy atmosphere, amazing food and great service. Not the cheapest meal around, but it's worth the overall gourmet experience. Easily my new favourite spot in EL for an occasional spoil.

  • 5/5 manisha r. 6 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to visit. Love the freshly prepared meals. Good service. Nice space , parking nearby can be an issue but all good because the service, atmosphere and food make up for this by far.

  • 5/5 Jacqueline K. 4 months ago on Google
    Last night we enjoyed the most spectacular 4 course meal. The tastes, textures, colours and aromas excellently paired. Every ingredient complimented each dish from the first course of Pear asparagus and potato Parmesan beignets, followed by Mussels on sourdough with fennel chives white wine and cream reduction. By now I thought they couldn’t top that. Girl Kanghi ,as she’s fondly named, delivered our 3rd course Fillet with the finest sliced beetroot,basil courgette pesto and nasturtium with barbecue jus. I was writing this down as we went because I loved the flavours that were put together and I didn’t want to forget them when I looked at my photos later. We sipped our wine slowly throughout the first three courses that we brought with us. We were charged a minimal corkage of R50. Then the final course to sweeten the entire experience was Pecan financier chocolate sauce frangelico and coffee jelly with fennel flowers. I’m writing this review because mostly when I travel we love to experience great food and I usually write a review when I do. I don’t when I’m at home for some weird reason. Definitely needed to express our shear enjoyment of the entire experience last night at the Kitchen Table. Had you been nominated for best fine dining restaurant anywhere in South Africa, you can hold your own against the very best of them. Well done Brian and I look forward to your next 4 course series in the near future 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

👍👍 Great tasting burgers. Fast very fast service. Would have loved a basket on the vehicle window instead of a box but that's just me. They say you haven't experienced East London if you haven't tried a Windmill Burger and chips and now I now why. Will be back! Awesome experience

👍👍 Great burgers at reasonable price. Service a bit slow as all waiters are either talking with each other at the entrance or playing on their cellphones. Nice view from the deck.
