The Duchess is the brainchild of a team with two decades of restaurant experience, straight out of the bustling streets of Johannesburg.

Imagine stumbling upon a hidden NYC speak-easy or discovering a secret spot in a Parisian alley, it’s the kind of joint where you might find Woody Allen’s crew—Picasso, Dali, and Hemingway—just hanging out.

Bottomless Fresh and Tasty Soup

As the chill of winter settles in, Tuesdays at The Duchess become a haven of warmth and comfort. Join us for our Bottomless Soup and Toastie special — the kind of meal that wraps around you like your favorite blanket. For R150 per person, enjoy endless bowls of hearty, homemade soup paired with a golden, perfectly crisp toastie. Its simple, satisfying, and exactly what the season calls for. Settle into the vintage charm of The Duchess, where candlelight flickers, conversation lingers, and the air smells faintly of nostalgia and something simmering on the stove. Tuesdays were made for this kind of comfort. No fuss. Just good soup, good bread, and a warm seat waiting for you.
