Basic Bistro is cosy restaurant right in the heart of Stellenbosch. We have been making locals and strangers feel at home for many years, with a dedicated focus on using quality ingredients to prepare all meals while setting a comfortable and intimate atmosphere for our guests.

We focus on creating Gourmet Burgers, Bountiful Pasta Dishes, Flavoursome Malay Curry, Matured Steak and Espresso Based Coffees of International Standard. We also pride ourselves in a finely selected and intimate wine list that ranges from ‘Easy Drinking’ to ‘Connoisseur Wines’.

Cool down with a White Wine Cocktail, Iced Coffee or Mixed Berry Milkshake topped with whipped cream. Or perhaps calm down with a pot of High Mountain Tea, produced by the tea experts at Nigiro.

Have a romantic evening in the corner or invite your friends for a Burger and Craft beer – whatever you do, we hope to make you feel right at home.

    Food is tasty, although serving a bit small for a hungry man. Enough otherwise. Flat white was good, and smooth and a double shot as standard.

    Great food, great service, great ambience. Basic is the natural choice for Breakfast, Diner or even just coffee.

    Didn't realise my French toast order only came with one slice, otherwise I would have ordered 2, which wouldn't have been toobad for the price. It seems a bit odd to serve one slice of French toast as a full meal for R50, but maybe that's just my perception
