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.

    All tapas we ordered were absolutely delicious: ostrich, pork belly, tuna ceviche, Camembert cheese, and cheesecake for dessert. Very reasonably priced as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    This was another winner on our culinary holiday. The ambience is relaxed and very French Bistro. The service was great, despite our waiter having a large table to tend to as well. The wine list is well curated, with a decent selection of wines by the glass. But of course, the most important thing is the food, and this is where they truly excelled. We shared 6 plates and they were all sublime, but I would possibly be willing to barter part of my soul for a regular supply of the Japanese mushroom gnocchi. Our other choices were the Italian mushroom risotto, Caponata di Calamari, Twice cooked pork belly, Smoked duck breast and Spinach ricotta ravioli. Each dish was artfully presented and brimming with flavor. We had the trio of sorbets for dessert, which was a larger portion than I was expecting and a perfect end to a perfect meal. All the stars for Bouchon Bistro, it was a fabulous experience.
