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.

    Lovely staff added to our enjoyment of the evening. Bistro type pub food was acceptable, if cold.

    The Nachos was great! We enjoyed that. Loved the sour cream they used. The pizza was good and it was unique with the little tube you could squeeze herb / garlic oil on your pizza. The service initially was slow to get our drinks order, but then the Manager on duty sorted us out when he realised we were waiting for some time. The think the prices of the meals were reasonable, better than what I expected. Thanks

    Seafood platter for two was burnt upon request for fried instead of grill. Gratuity was added at a 12% which is higher than mos restaurants. Atmosphere and resturant atmosphere however was great

    We waited 40 minutes only to be served cold tasteless food, mind you the restaurant was not even busy only 3 tables was occupied, the waiter did not bother come come and ask if everything is ok between drinks and waiting for our food, when it was time to pay the bill only then the waiter did the run around to have our voucher approved and for us to pay the bill, meaning we had to wait for the bill as well.
