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. Cavalli is a must-visit for an unforgettable blend of exquisite food, fine wine, and elegant ambiance.

    We have been loyal fans of Cavalli for many years, and it never fails to impress. From the stunning venue to the exceptional food and wine, every visit brings a new surprise and leaves us filled with joy. A heartfelt thank you to Anel for personally taking the time to visit us at Equus — that personal touch means so much!

    I feel that the Mother’s Day menu was inappropriate. The marrow starter was uninspiring and the oyster dish was a disaster, both in concept and in execution. Not having an alternative choice for the oyster dish was a mistake. The other dishes were good, but not enough. We all got up from the table still feeling slightly hungry. I do get the concept of fine dining, but I also get the concept of lunch. I don’t think Cavalli does!

    Wow. What a beautiful gem hidden here on our doorstop. The Mothers Day lunch was a sublime cullinary experience, from those meeting you at the door, to our server to the kitchen orchestra in song. Wow. A definite place I will visit soon again .... and then there was the wine pairing and suggestions made...my wife was taking photos (will be back for a winetasting experience). Cavalli outdid themselves. Definite recommendation for others to visit (and really soon). And the ambience, gas fireplace and heaters kept you warm inside and didnt affect the storm weather and sunshine outside. What you waiting for - Book now.
