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.

    All food,just feel a bit push out...not finish yet at table,still drinking a glass of water when waiter show the next guests our table and they just sit down.In Spain where I just travel a few weeks ago they ask guest that arrive to wait until a table is clear,then waitress clean it and only then you ate invited to sit down.
