The best meal I have had in Cape Town in the last 4 years was at Bizerca – so it had a great memory to live up to, as I gaily pirouetted in with the girls for a birthday supper. It has a very trendy minimal vibe with lots of stone walls and vertical greenery to add interest; and a... More

Visiting Cape Town for the first time, Bizerca was highly recommended to us by our tour adviser and hotel. What a disappointment. The food was of average quality as was the cooking. The staff were inattentive and paid much more attention to those customers who were obviously regulars. The tables were very cramped, the food did not represent value for... More

Superb - really great fusion food in the centre of Cape Town. A lovely venue with fabulous atmosphere and great service. I had duck that was cooked perfectly pink in the centre and served with a perfectly sweet pear tart, on a bed of spinach - my discription really isnt doing this justice. Pudd was a medley of choclate creme... More

Finally we get to Cape Town for a lunch outing and of course our first choice is to go to Bizerca for lunch. We went early enough and luckily got a table outside in the courtyard as this is the nicest part of the restaurant. Service was fun and extremely friendly. We both ordered the du of "pate/terrine/rillettes" and loved... More

very packed...they messed up our booking...they had mistakenly put us down for 2 instead of 4...so we were given a squashed table...one of our group got the fish dish and it looked awful ...she was ill for the following 24 hours...so we will not be repeating the experience

After reading so many great things about this restaurant, we decided to book a table weeks in advance. When we arrived we were given the choice of sitting in or outside. We chose a table outside on the nice terrace/patio. Staff was nice to us, suggested some dishes and a nice bottle of wine and starters arrived within 5 minutes.... More

Took a group of visiting Canadian businessmen to Bizerca at the end of a cycling tour across the Western Cape. We ate out twice a day for 12 days, so sampled a good selection of restaurants and bistrots across the Cape, from the lonely Karoo to bustling CT. For our 'last supper' we chose this venue, which was convenient distance... More

I’ve got the tip to try it just occasionally and I expected some common bistro as many other, but how big was our surprise. Beautiful designed space, very friendly staff and the daily menu of only four starters and four main courses written by hand on the blackboard as in the village somewhere in France or in Italy. We have... More

Enjoyed the food, great effort in preparation of all the dishes. Lovely venue. Staff were friendly. Thanks for the history "lesson" regarding the oldest fruitbearing grapevine in SA. Interesting! We'll return again soon.
