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.

    Parking is a huge problem here. Rather get early there. Food, ambience was good however my food came first then had to remind the waiters to bring the toast, needless to say the food was cold by then.

    Most pleasant breakfast experience with old friends we had not seen for many years, a perfect venue for the event. Good service as well as the meals. We will be back. Thanks.
