Addis in Cape Ethiopian Restaurant
“I had an amazing meal here! The menu is almost 100% gluten-free and half of it is vegan. I emailed ahead, and they told me there are no peanuts or sesame on the menu. It was so fun to try Ethiopian for the first time!”

Chefs Warehouse at Tintswalo Atlantic
“The most stunning gem of a restaurant! Tucked down into a bay, the views and experience were incredible. It’s a set tasting menu, but I confirmed they could accommodate my allergy over email and they were prepared and did so with ease. Highly recommend.”

Kloof Street House
“One of the most eclectic restaurants in the city. Expect a sceney and energetic crowd. Lots of meat and seafood dishes, although our waitress wasn’t the most knowledgeable about allergies.”

La Colombe Restaurant
“The most elevated and unique dining experience of my life. Even though it was a set tasting menu, they fully accommodated my allergy with no complaints. I just reached out beforehand to confirm, and they were aware and prepared when I arrived. The restaurant is also absolutely beautiful, and the dishes were works of art! Highly recommend arriving early to explore the property a bit.”

Life Grand Cafe Waterfront
“We went here for lunch today. The waitress took down my allergies and checked with the kitchen to make sure it was safe. Everything was fine, minus some slight modifications. I ordered the Gatsby sandwich but modified to regular mayo instead of saffron mayo and no cheese. So delicious and stunning waterfront views!”

Mythos V&A Waterfront
“We dined at Mythos on our second night in Cape Town for dinner. The waiter took down my allergies and checked with the kitchen on my order to make sure everything was safe. We ordered chicken souvlaki skewers to start, the skordalia dip with pita, and then the tomahawk steak, which came with French fries. While the overall meal was good, I would not order the tomahawk again.”

Truth Coffee Roasting
“Such a cool experience! If you like coffee, this is a must-visit. They take the art of coffee very seriously and walk you through various flavor profiles and ways to enjoy it, while staying in themed character. They also have amazing gluten-free bread and the eggs Benedict was delicious!”

Two Oceans Restaurant
“I went here for lunch today. The waitress was well versed in allergies, but originally suggested only seafood items (which I do not eat). I ended up ordering the pork belly (which was so delicious) and a side of fries. The fries are fried in sunflower oil. Stunning views!”
