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

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.

    CONTINUES TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE MORE THAN A TWO PERSON CONVERSATION , AS STILL NO FORM OF NOISE REDUCING MATERIALS / BOARDS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED TO ABSORB NOISE . IT IS THE FAULT OF THE BUILDING , NOT THE GUESTS OR STAFF .

    Atmosphere was lacking service was average. Hard to understand staff. Espresso Martinis were not good quality. Not much music at 6pm for the start of our Christmas team meal. Needs candles, music, warmth. Very clinical.

    Having heard good comments about the restaurant I was disappointed in the menu selection. eg would not pair butternut squash with langaustine. Butter would be preferable with the bread and the trout prepared in sauce a bit on the runny side to enjoy.. Somalier Justin and waiter Simon excellent. Nice setting.

    The set menu was unexpectedly poor. We hoped for a repeat of the great experience as once had during Mothers Day. Even the steak lacked seasoning. So disappointing. R995 pp.
