Cavallis Everyday Gourmet menu is all about celebrating real food that nourishes and excites.

Putting a contemporary, inventive spin on classic dishes, we grow our own seasonal herbs and have many vegetable varieties grown from seed and cuttings. As the first Green-star rated restaurant in South Africa, we treasure the beauty of our natural heritage.

We simply believe in eating delicious, fresh, whole foods prepared in a way that honours the seasons. We want our food to be the kind that people enjoy not just once but again and again, the type of food that people come back for.

The open working kitchen adds another layer of intrigue; the effortless rhythm of the team, naturally dovetailing in their roles, highlights the smooth collaboration and professionalism behind the scenes.

Before your meal, indulge in a wine tasting or take a stroll through the art gallery, enhancing the overall experience. Service at Cavalli is exceptional, with Cavalli wines beautifully complementing the dishes, adding a warm, personal touch.

    I review Cavalli each time we come here and in more than 15 years it has never been a disappointment. In our opinion this is the best restaurant in the Western Cape and we go to a lot of places. This was the first time we were here in winter, enjoying the cozy fire place, great service and fabulous food. I was very happy that venison was on the menu which you never find here in summer. I think more venison options need to be available. The winter menu was top notch and as usual staff was efficient, well trained and super friendly. Cavalli is always a great fine dining experience and I look forward to coming here every time. Strongly recommend!
