CAUSE | EFFECT is a vibrant ode to the stunning natural beauty of Cape Town, drawing inspiration from the region’s oceans, mountains, fynbos, and vineyards. Our cocktails are not just drinks—they are immersive experiences designed to be seen, touched, smelled, and savoured.

Driven by creativity, our seasonally evolving menu showcases local ingredients and inventive techniques. From fynbos-infused Vermouth to meticulously crafted brandy-based cocktails, each drink tells a story of South Africa’s rich landscape and heritage.

    This is really good bar/restaurant! The staff are fantastic! We ate here twice during our stay in Cape Town. We had fillet steak and small plates both were excellent! I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough!

    The restaurant is very nice and the aesthetic is beautiful, but the waiting time completely ruined the experience. We ordered our food just after 4:30 pm and only received it close to 6 pm. We had to repeatedly ask whether our food was still coming or if it was even ready. Another table near us was experiencing the same issue and also kept asking about their order. While the vibe of the restaurant is great, the waiting time for food is ridiculous. Unfortunately, we won’t be eating there again.
