    First Experience and it was amazing....the white wine selection last night made it so difficult for me to choose 😍 the staff is so knowledgeable and very visible. it's just too small a space with minimal ventilation and a crappy view. their Duck and Beets dish is the best thing I've tasted this year. big ups! also happy to hear about their plans for extending premises.

    Excellent wine experience - something you wouldn’t get in the more traditional winelands of South Africa. Recommend asking lots of questions - you’ll be introduced to lots of small, independent wineries and the sommelier took the time to explain the complexities and what may stand out on our palate. Great space and location. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area (or not).

    I was excited to visit this charming establishment during my recent trip from London to Cape Town. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a young female staff member who was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the wine list. While the wine selection may be considered small, I was impressed by its originality and the range of price points available. From crisp and refreshing whites to bold and robust reds, the carefully curated list was sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Although the food selection was limited to small tapas-style dishes, I must say that the place's casual positioning met my expectations perfectly. While there is certainly room for improvement in the food selection, it's worth noting that the primary focus of this establishment is clearly on its exceptional wine offerings. In summary, I must commend this establishment for its warm welcome, original wine selection, and casual atmosphere. While the small tapas selection may not be the main draw, the wine selection more than makes up for it, and I would highly recommend this place to any wine lover looking for an enjoyable and relaxed evening out in London.

    Quaint little place and the bartender has all the knowledge. Bottles available to buy to takeaway at discount. The Amelie rose is delicious.

    Found this fabulous little wine bar in Gardens. We ordered the Joostenberg Family Blend and biltong & olive snacks. The background music was perfect. Makes you proud to live in Africa!

    What a bad day to wear a white tee and be blonde. Don’t get me wrong: great wine selection, cool bar, friendly staff. Just felt - as a visitor from Brussels - this place is made a clubhouse by the same kinda crowd.

    The go to place in CT for unique wines, friendly service and great vibes. Love this place. The small plates (try the meatballs) are just as good as the excellent wines. The staff are knowledgeable about the local wine scene, which makes for a great experience trying new glasses (or bottles) 😉

    Favorite wine bar in Cape Town. Great selection of wine by the glass that rotates frequently. Dom is really knowledgeable so tip him well!

  • 5/5 Petra P. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. Excellent wines, wonderful experience and fantastic ambience. Intimate “smaller” space in a buzzing neighbourhood. Great service and very knowledgeable and welcoming staff. A cozy wine bar to go to for a few drinks - whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a date night.

    From my point of view, this is the best wine bar in the world; Of course, they serve some great ordinary wines from the Cape region, but also the group of people creates quite a unique familiar atmosphere.
