Cavallis Everyday Gourmet menu is all about celebrating real food that nourishes and excites.

Putting a contemporary, inventive spin on classic dishes, we grow our own seasonal herbs and have many vegetable varieties grown from seed and cuttings. As the first Green-star rated restaurant in South Africa, we treasure the beauty of our natural heritage.

We simply believe in eating delicious, fresh, whole foods prepared in a way that honours the seasons. We want our food to be the kind that people enjoy not just once but again and again, the type of food that people come back for.

Gourmet Guide™ Description

Dining at Cavalli is a captivating culinary experience set within an architectural masterpiece. Contemporary interiors, accentuated by glass sliding doors and expansive windows, seamlessly blend indoor elegance with the breathtaking natural beauty of the dam beyond. The open working kitchen adds another layer of intrigue; the effortless rhythm of the team, naturally dovetailing in their roles, highlights the smooth collaboration and professionalism behind the scenes.

Before your meal, indulge in a wine tasting or take a stroll through the art gallery, enhancing the overall experience. Service at Cavalli is exceptional, with Cavalli wines beautifully complementing the dishes, adding a warm, personal touch.

Cavalli shines in accommodating vegetarian diners with a thoughtfully crafted, dedicated menu. The regular menu is available as a Chef’s set or à la carte, with wine pairings. Standout dishes include the eggplant with miso caramel, shiitake, and pine nuts – a revelation of flavor and a testament to the chef’s philosophy of celebrating seasonal vegetables.

    There was a dish I didn't like but that was a me thing (having a fussy stomach). The other food was super delicious. It was a good place to celebrate my birthday.

    Very nice but kitchen staff scrubbing down and leaving while we were still having our final course ruined the ambiance at the end. Wines were outstanding and supper friendly staff :)
