    The Evening started good, but once we had the firdt complaint regarding the sorbet, service started to get bad and towards the end basically didn´t exist anymore. One of my worst experiences in a fine dining restaurant !

    A really delightful experience. Highly recommended if you enjoy fine dining. The historic building and newly decorated interior are beautiful. All staff were knowledgeable and professional. The food was amazing and gave us plenty to ooh and ahh over. Not cheap, but excellent value compared to other places that serve a similar top standard. We were very impressed and will be back.

    I enjoyed the detail and artistic style reminiscent of fine dining in the early 2000’s

    An exceptional evening at Palm House in Wynberg, Cape Town. Dinner at De Tafel was a masterclass in precision and restraint. Chef Craig Henderson’s menu reflects deep respect for heritage, seasonality and indigenous ingredients. Every detail felt intentional. Special thanks to Dane, Nathan and Richard for their attentive and polished service, a true reflection of refined hospitality. A seamless and memorable experience. Kind regards Joy

    Our evening in De Tafel with the Elemental series menu was superb. Frpm the moment we arrived to when we left it was just such a wonderful experience. Good food beautifully presented and tastes were off the chart. Wine selection was so well balanced. Ambience was so nice. Service was top notch. Can't wait to go back
