    If there were a 6th star, I would award it here. The food, the service, and the entire experience were phenomenal. I could not recommend this more. Thank you to Dane, Richard, and Charles for excellent hospitality. We'll be back for steak night and sunday lunch too.

    What a lovely evening. The food is interesting and delicious, without being overly fussy or pretentious. A very well considered wine list, and a very lovely setting. Dane was exceptional in his description of the food and his obvious enjoyment of what he does. A wonderful addition to dining in the burbs. Well done !

    Dear André, Thank you sincerely for sharing such a thoughtful and generous review. We’re delighted to hear that your evening at De Tafel was both lovely and memorable. Our aim has always been to create food that is interesting, deeply flavour-driven, and honest, never fussy, but always considered, so your words truly resonate with our philosophy. I’m especially pleased to hear that Dane made such an impression. His passion for storytelling and his pride in what we do shines through every day, and your acknowledgment means a great deal to him and the whole team. We also appreciate your recognition of the wine list and the setting both are crafted to reflect the spirit of the Cape and complement the journey we share with our guests. Thank you for calling us a wonderful addition to dining “in the burbs” it’s a sentiment we hold close as we continue to grow and refine the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back to De Tafel soon for another evening of discovery. Warm regards, Gregory & the De Tafel Team
