You can never go wrong with this restaurant in my opinion. Whether it is for a casual meal with a friend, a romantic dinner date, a girls night out dinner, eating solo - this place can make all of these different moments really great. The food is not disappointing in fact I am always guaranteed to have a good meal... More

This is an excellent restaurant with inventive and interesting food - the best we had anywhere in South Africa (and standards were high). And good value too. It is always fully booked so you do have to book a table in advance.

Great atmosphere, a huge choice of foods on the menu. Generally speaking all I have eaten there was good and the staff very pleasant. It offers a very warm yet relaxed atmosphere. This place offers "specials", that means you get 2 or 3 dishes at a special price which is really worth it for "big appetites". It is consistently a... More

Menu items sound rather ordinary...filet w/mushroom sauce risotto or brownie w/ice cream BUT the tastes are anything but ordinary!!!! Plus John our server wrote out recommendations for our... More

Eaten at this well established bistro several times, and it never fails to satisfy. The menu changes regularly, and the food is always good. Whether you opt for the two, or three course set menus, or elect for the varied selection of tapas, you will be spoilt for choice. There is plenty of variety, and the portions are generous. The...

After a long absence from this bistro we returned and were not disappointed. I thought the last time we were there the kitchen had a ventilation issue, so this time we were pleased that all had been fixed. The menu is so amazingly varied and cheap! R100 for 2 courses! Where in the world can you find that? And starters... More

The food was exceptionally good and reasonably priced. The pork belly was simply delicious. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful menu, reasonable prices, great service. There are 2 types of set course options: 2 course meal or 3 course meal. In December 2012 the 3 course meal was R120 and we were really impressed with the quality of the food. Thumbs-up

I can only comment personally as to the plentiful tapas menu, as that is what I had on all three of my visits there whilst on holiday in Cape Town. However, on the final visit; two of my friends had the fixed price menu and thought it was excellent. The tapas portions are of a very generous size and are... More

La Boheme was very full when I went there in the beginning of April, 2013. It was full of local people, which is always a good sign. I had to wait for a table, but the staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome and comfortable during the wait. When I got a table, they were great about recommending... More
