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.

    We had the Gourmet Seafood Platter for 2 and was one of the best seafood dishes we’ve ever had. Would highly recommend this.

    What a total scam , we paid upfront for a 4 course pairing for new years. 1. We arrive at 20:00 , a short African male greets us , he smells like he just walked out of all night bender. Who are the people who should come here for drinks ? Completely unprofessional. 2. We sat for 25 mins before our drink are taken. 3. We get our pallet cleanser before our meal 4. All the tables start complaining and the poor waiters are left out to dry , the while the white manager with his glasses are so busy mingling with his friends and everything, he never even came to check up on any of the tables. 5. So everyone started getting frustrated and angry , we simply just asked for the bill because losing our cool on the waiter over something that is in her control. Is simply unfair. We stood up after when the 2nd course arrived after 2 hours , we just wanted to leave and enjoy our new years. The waited was in panic and felt so bad , still the white waiter with the glasses dis not have the decency to at least come and she why there are 5 tables that are absolutely furious is a joke. She did inform him, i asked the waiter where is he , she did inform him. But lacks the decency to come and listen to our complaints and try resolve the matter , he rather run away like a little man in hiding. I am absolutely appalled after we still got billed the R950 rand per person and the drinks are additional when we left after we saw the 2nd course was a bunch of broccoli and parmesan shavings on top, with a pallet cleanser that looks like watermelon that has been cut 3 days ago. This was an absolute disaster and the especially the management should be ashamed. The sooner they fix management the better, and rather close the kitchen. And by the way, the one person in the kitchen that keeps on walking out with all the old ice, plastic straws and left overs and dumps it in the water drains in the parking area, that goes straight into the ocean for your information, everyone was shocked to see.
