THE ALPHEN'S FLAGSHIP ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Presenting restaurant classics in the most thoughtful way, Blanko offers an intimate dining experience in the heritage building of The Alphen – a national monument and lauded example of Cape Dutch architecture. Located on the edge of the Constantia green belt, high ceilings, white table cloths, historical artefacts and a stellar collection of South African art create a sense of prestige and refinement. This is complemented by exceptional hospitality and juxtaposed by bright and modern decor in a gallery-inspired space.

    Blanko is a beautiful restaurant; however, the food was a bit dry and overcooked.

    Mostly decent food (though my sea bass was overcooked, swimming in oil and not very nice), very slow service, but pretty location. They can and should do better.

    I made a simple request to have the arancini (starter) as a main course and pay the difference. This was flatly turned down. Seriously how difficult would that have been ? Bad attitude.
