Situated in the heart of Cape Town’s city centre and set in a charming urban winery, Bouchon Wine Bar & Bistro is a meeting place for like-minded people who love flavoursome, down-to-earth food and are curious about the world of wine.

Behind this venture is winemaker Christophe Durand of Dorrance Wines and restaurateur Faisal Khakoo of La Boheme Bistro & Wine Bar and Engruna Eatery, who saw the gap for a sophisticated yet relaxed food and wine experience that compliments the enchanting winery setting.

Bouchon’s winelist embraces both local and international gems and is accompanied by a weekly ‘Travel Through Your Glass’ selection which allows you the opportunity to discover and enjoy spectacular wines from around the world by the glass.

Complementing the wine offering is a weekly menu that boasts uncomplicated seasonal tapas and scrumptious desserts.

    These are not small plates but almost main courses; the beef cubes and the tuna really stood out as did the frites. Service was pleasant, some staff a little more knowledgable than others about the wine but overall a very pleasant experience finished off with a very good Irish coffee! I would suggest 4 dishes between two people, then order another if necessary, especially if you are choosing beef or ostrich!

    The tapas deal is decent value. However the pork ribs whilst flavoursome, wer slightly overcooked as were the gambas. The steak tartare was excellent. Pity there was not a greater selection of wines available by carafe. Overall though , recommended and we will return!
