After all the reviews on tripadvisor, I made a reservation at La Colombe for our 'special dinner' on our Honeymoon to South Africa. Being from New York City, we have some of the worlds best restaurants here at home so I was anxious to see how this would stack up. It did not dissapoint... sort of. Having ordered the 7... More

Where to start ... Well I guess I should start with the staff ... the restaurant was very relaxed, we turned up in jeans and t-shirts, but the staff were very helpful and LOVED being asked questions about the dishes. They certainly made the experience very enjoyable. The menu is on a blackboard with every dish explained by the staff... More

I came here for my cousins 21st and can honestly say that I was blown away by the meals! we had set courses, however everything just blended so well together. Each meal was paired with a wine, and have to say that each wine went incredibly well with the course at hand... My favourite was their soup, it was a... More

Thanks La Colombe staff and management for a great last dinner in Cape Town. After reading reviews on here I thought may be it was too good to be true, however I can really see what the fuss is about! We were greeted by management and we were late due to issues at our hotel and there was no problem... More

We spent an incredible evening dining at La Colombe having the 8 course chef's menu and pairing. We sat in the bar area which I think in the end was better than the main dining area. It was cozy and quaint and we had tremendous service. Each course was presented to us with great knowledge of both food and wine.... More

The food was AMAZING, the wine selection a library and the service something to write a ‘Service manual’ about. Money well spent and worth every cent. Have a look at their winter specials, you will not be disappointed.

We stayed in Constantia Uitsig. Wehad two times dinner in LA COLOMBE and each time we liked it. Staff is very friendly and helpful. When you compare it with the European prices for such a restaurant it is (in our opinion) cheap for what you get. The same for the excellent wine!!

So you don't get to be in the top 100 restaurants for nothing. Had an amazing dinner here. Staff is excellent, helpful and fun and the food is exceptional. Every single course was exciting and excellent. It is not cheap and I don't think you would want to dine like this every night but you have to try it once.... More
