    We had the most wonderful dining experience at Terrarium Restaurant, shared with my lovely husband — a night we won’t soon forget. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt intimate and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a special evening together. The food was absolutely exceptional — beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. Each dish felt like a celebration of fresh, quality ingredients, paired perfectly to create a memorable culinary journey. The service was attentive and genuine without being intrusive, making us feel truly looked after throughout the evening. What made it even more special was enjoying it all with my husband by my side — great food, great wine, and even better company. Terrarium offered the perfect setting for a romantic night out, and we left feeling grateful for such a lovely experience. We can’t wait to return and create more beautiful memories there. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    As I told staff on the night everything was just perfect. The food was sublime, really great flavour combinations. The service was beyond reproach. Just everything was as it should be. Will visit again before my stay is over. Can't believe anywhere better in Cape Town
