THE ALPHEN'S FLAGSHIP ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Presenting restaurant classics in the most thoughtful way, Blanko offers an intimate dining experience in the heritage building of The Alphen – a national monument and lauded example of Cape Dutch architecture. Located on the edge of the Constantia green belt, high ceilings, white table cloths, historical artefacts and a stellar collection of South African art create a sense of prestige and refinement. This is complemented by exceptional hospitality and juxtaposed by bright and modern decor in a gallery-inspired space.

    That was an awesome tasting menu, and the ambiance was amazing (as usual) - should do that more often!

    Waiters need some upskilling on the menu (since it was a set dinner and different to the norm). Also, since this was a drinks pairing dinner, your beverage and kitchen staff need to be aligned with service and serve together. Otherwise, you get your food/drink first and finish that while waiting for the other to arrive.

    Always a pleasure. Wellington was a great attentive waiter. Just a note on your beverage selection: Please add more variety on your MCC selection, at least have LeLude and L’Omarins too if you are gonna have Tradition.

    We want there twice for dinner. Both times the food was excellent. Also the staff was very friendly and professional. The location itself is beautiful. We would definitely go back.
