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.

    The best produce is used. The most welcoming & accommodating staff. One of the best outside seating venues.

    Wonderful and enjoyable meal. bit noisy to start with but when the large table of guests moved off, very pleasant

    Hi David Thanks for your positive feedback. Inside is noisy and we've just changed our coffee grinder to reduce the noise. Hope to see you again soon.

    The food, coffee and condiments were all excellent, just a bit on the pricey side.

    Lovely weekday lunch with my family. The menu is short, but offered enough variety to keep everyone happy. Special shout out to the cakes: we loved the lemon tart brûlée. Service was warm, friendly and prompt.

    Hi Shelagh Thanks for your positive feedback. The lemon brulee tart is a crowd pleaser! Glad that everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Hi Claudia Thanks for your feedback. It's noisy inside, and we've tried to address that by getting a new coffee grinder.

    I had the corn fritters with salmon and poached egg. I did not think the whipped feta paired well. It was grainy

    Hi Lisa Thanks for your feedback, we'll check on the texture.
