Babel Restaurant

Babel Restaurant, housed in an old cow shed, is a wonderful mix of Cape Dutch architecture and contemporary glass walls, creating a simple yet edgy space in which to enjoy their delicious but frequently unusual combinations. They follow a farm-to-fork mentality, which means they prefer to serve seasonal fare that represents their "pick, clean, and serve" philosophy.

This sleek restaurant is worth finding out, especially for lunch, despite the fact that it has no sign. The fish is delicious, and the bilolá, a local mollusk, is a must-try. Salads and wok-cooked tofu and vegetables make excellent starts. At dinner, it's a little less successful because not everything on the menu is accessible, and it's pretty expensive. There is a covered courtyard at the back for drinks, but no tables for eating.

A fixed menu will be given to groups of 12 to 25 people, and a 50% deposit will be required to guarantee the reservation. Their menu changes with the seasons and is always influenced by what's in season in the garden. Guests can eat in the glass-enclosed restaurant or under the plane trees in the courtyard, depending on the weather. They offer private function venues accessible if you want to bring a larger party.
