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.

    Ambience of a canteen. The biggest let down was the inside interior of the restaurant it had a look and a feel of a canteen. We had to be inside as it was an extremely hot day. We were lucky to reserve a corner table and have a group of good friends reunited not to be put of by that fact. Food was adequate and service was on a slow side. The recommended signature starter of cured langoustine tasted bland and had considerably undercooked butternut, which has ruined the dish.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the interior ambience, pace of service, and elements of your meal. While we’re glad you were able to enjoy time with your friends, it’s disappointing to know that other aspects of your visit fell short. Your comments on the cured langoustine and butternut have been noted and will be addressed directly with our kitchen team, as this is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver. We also take your feedback on service timing and the interior atmosphere seriously, as both are key to the overall experience. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it allows us to reflect and improve. Should you consider visiting us again, we would welcome the opportunity to provide you with a far more enjoyable and seamless experience.
