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.

    Absolutely delicious tapas of all types, especially loved the ravioli, carrots, and risotto. Highly recommended, one of my top two places to eat in Cape Town.

    Had a really intimate dinner with some friends for my hubbies bday. The food came out promptly, service was excellent and really good value for money. My only gripe is we would’ve appreciated more vegetarian options. The tapas menu very meat forward. Other than that, I would highly recommend.

    I had the most phenomenal birthday at Bouchon, the food was insanely good, all the food came out meticulously everyone was served promptly no one was left waiting. Our glasses remained topped up, the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff were on it. I would highly recommend this venue. I will be going back!

    We enjoyed all the different dishes as they are lovely. We were very disappointed about the extra bread side dishes. 3 small slices of baguette and 3 even smaller pieces of sweet bread with some butter and tomato salsa at the price of R 70 each!! Absolutely ridiculous and pure robbery to serve this for that price! Will definitely not order that again eventhough Bouchon Bistro is one of our very favorite restaurants of Cape Town CBD.

    We were in a nice cosy corner of the first dining room. The menu offers a large variety of options with decent portions. My paella was very good though a bit too salty. We'll be back to check on the consistency of both the service and the food quality.
