Now and again you come across a memorable place that’s so well concealed you feel reluctant to tell anyone about it. The Gardeners Cottage is just that.

A haven of tranquility in the heart of Cape Town’s southern suburbs. Enjoy great food and good service under the huge Camphor trees. Make breakfast extra special with the iconic Eggs Benedict. Sip on Uber coffee made by talented baristas. Browse the deli for cakes, muffins, preserves and pick up a freshly baked sourdough to take home.

    This is a beautiful venue, but do recommend booking a table inside if weather is cold/windy. The veggie breakfast is good value for money and can easily be shared between 2.

    3 of my friends ordered the eggs benedict and they were in awe. Comment was that this was the best ever and the other 2 were in agreement. Two of us had the omelett with splnach, bacon and cream cheese, that was good and filling. Overall a very pleasant experirnce as alwsys. RECOMMENDATION - If the plates can be checked after being removed from the dishwasher.
