Food Story

A TASTE OF THE
MOTHER CITY.

Thanks to its unique history and geography, Cape Town is one of the few places in the world where the cuisines of Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia are all authentically at home.
At The Black Sheep Restaurant, we revel in this eclectic mix of cultures and culinary influences, which is why you’ll find our extensive blackboard menu constantly changing – not just so that we stay open to the ingredients and inspiration available to us on any particular day, but also so that we can cater to as wide a variety of tastes and appetites as possible.

As a gastropub bistro we combine the best of both – the attention to detail in the food of a gastropub, and the comfort and simplicity of a bistro.

We source our ingredients locally and place a strong emphasis on sustainable, ethically farmed ingredients. And when it comes to meat, we follow a nose-to-tail philosophy: using as much of an animal as we can is not only less wasteful but allows us to play with an exciting variety of taste combinations.

Our lunch menu is generally lighter than our dinner menu (our caramelised onion and cheeseburger is a particular favourite), although those in search of a heartier day-time meal will also find a selection of popular dishes from our extensive dinner menu, which features everything from comfort food to our more adventurous and conceptual dishes.

We cater for vegans, vegetarians and those who go gluten-free, and if you have any other specific requirements, just let us know and we’ll do the rest.
