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.

    They were amazing. They accommodated a large table at the last minute and made a special plan to process different tables. Really appreciate their lovely customer service. We got our own space on the patio under the trees and it was a wonderful day.
