KLOOF STREET HOUSE

What KLOOF STREET HOUSE does

Kloof Street House is a single-location fine dining restaurant and event venue operating at 30 Kloof Street in the Gardens neighbourhood of Cape Town, South Africa. The business is set within a twentieth-century Victorian house featuring pressed ceilings, chandeliers, a suitcase-stacked bar, chesterfield couches, fireplaces, and a fairy-lit garden, and is positioned by the operator as an experiential dining destination rather than a transactional restaurant. The venue operates seven days a week — Mondays from 11:00 and Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00, with the kitchen closing at midnight — and accommodates everything from two-top romantic dinners to gatherings of more than 100 guests.

The core offering centres on a brasserie-style menu of free-range, grass-fed, responsibly sourced meat and sharing dishes, alongside a cocktail programme, a dedicated brunch menu (Tuesday to Sunday 10:00–16:00 and Mondays 12:00–16:00), and a Seasonal Lunch Special (two-course R250 or three-course R295, Monday to Saturday 12:00–16:00). Layered on top of the regular trading day are a Sunday Jazz residency with Mr Keys and the Funky Munks (13:00–15:00), commercial photoshoot venue hire, and a calendar of high-ticket occasion menus for Christmas (R1,550 per person), Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and New Year's Eve (R3,500 per person for NYE 2026). There is no proprietary technology, no mobile app, and no API; reservations are taken via an online form, telephone, or WhatsApp, and walk-ins are accepted.

The business is private, with no disclosed parent company, no funding events, and no headcount or revenue disclosure. It is operated as part of a small restaurant group alongside sister venues Asoka and Egghead Diner, with the NYE 2026 ticket including entry to Asoka's after party — the only documented cross-venue commercial mechanism. Marketing is executed entirely through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X), the company website, and email marketing around special events. The named culinary leadership comprises Group Executive Chef Wayne Riley, Executive Sous Chef Micaela Romanos, and Head Chef Webster Dube.
