    Ellerman House is one of those places that quietly takes your breath away. The setting is as picturesque as it gets, perched above Bantry Bay with ocean views that change beautifully as the sun goes down. Definitely a must-experience location for sundowners in the Cape Town spring/summer seasons. As you walk down the staircase to the dining area, you’re surrounded by striking South African artworks that immediately set the mood. It feels elegant but never pretentious, the kind of space that invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. The team deserves a special mention. Every person we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. They have that rare ability to make service feel effortless while still keeping everything perfectly timed. If you’re having a drink, let the bartender take the lead. Their creativity behind the bar is something special, and when you give them the freedom to experiment, you’ll end up with a cocktail that feels completely your own. The food was exceptional. Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully balanced, and plated with real care. Just when I thought the meal had peaked, the dessert arrived. The semifreddo completely stole the show. It was light and creamy, and it was the perfect way to end the evening. What makes Ellerman House stand out is how relaxed it feels for a fine dining experience. It’s luxurious, exclusive and yet welcoming, and that balance makes the evening so memorable. Would definitely recommend!

    Large portions, excellent quality, attentive service. The 3 course menu was the right amount for this 60- yr old man! 4 course would include 2 Mains or 2 Starters…way too much for the average person. Highly recommended,

    Hi Jim,Thank you for the great review! We're glad the 3-course menu hit the sweet spot—no food coma required! You're absolutely right, the 4-course is for those with serious appetites. We Appreciate the recommendation, and we will be ready with the perfect portion when you’re back! Warm regards, The Ellerman House Team.
