Curated for the curious and creative… Upper Union opened its doors in the Kloof Street Neighbourhood.
Gourmet Guide Description
It’s the talk of the town. Set in a beautiful heritage building on, you guessed it, Upper Union Street, chef Amori Burger has firmly cemented herself on the Cape culinary landscape since opening. The stylish green interiors offer myriad cosy corners where you can enjoy convivial dining under twinkling chandeliers—an ambience that paves the way for an unforgettable food-and-drinks ride.
Sit indoors, outdoors, upstairs, or down to enjoy some zesty cocktails composed by master mixologists. The wine list reflects local, smallscale, and boutique wines. Unsure of what to order? Trust the serving team to cover your table with an array of truly delectable dishes. The
menu is divided into small plates or a shared menu of either ‘pasture’ or ‘garden’, both starting with a hot bread course that warns you of chef Amori’s heartfelt sense of generosity. Creative and curious, she loves connecting with equally insatiable guests as they comment with
delight on her dishes. Favourites include the beef picanha with Fati blommaki and nasturtium chimichurri, the Puglia burrata with fennel jam, prosciutto, Dijon, and sesame flatbread, and the salt-baked beetroot, but there’s always something new and novel. She crafts her own paneer, pickles, and dressings with zeal. Her latest lamb dish with kapokbos chermoula, red pimento, and parsnip purrée is a must-try. Be sure to keep space for desserts and cheese.
Upper Union epitomises convivial, upper-class dining–stellar food served without unnecessary fuss.
