Black Sheep

My absolute favourite restaurant in Cape Town never disappoints!Booking well in advance is essential this place is popular for good reason.The dishes are fresh, tasty and indulgent without being that usual Cape Town thing of being too finicky or pretentious. The menu is a novel take on international standards and expresses creativity in the superbly matched flavours in each dish. The desserts are a warm and seductive treat not to be missed!

Dropped in today for a light lunch. We had beer battered fish chips, and kidneys with rosti.,and shared a watermelon and feta salad. All excellent. An interesting and reasonably priced wine list rounded off a well deserved 5 stars.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first time here. I just searched for top rated restaurants I hadn't been to and this one popped up and I was not disappointed. The service was rather slow although this could have been due to the venue being full, other than that they have an interesting menu which allows you to try new things. Food and drinks, excellent! A must try spot.

The Black Sheep Is a restaurant that has the laid back vibe of Kloof street, making it seem deceptively simple with chalk board menus and minimalistic furnishings. It is anything but simple! The wine list is super, we opted for a glass each of the Beaumont Chenin Blanc which was absolutely perfect for sipping throughout our meals. The “bar snacks” are beautifully presented, elegant flavour combinations. We tried the Prego Steak Bruschetta and the Jalapeño Croquettes. Both were amazing. I found that the portions are definitely meant for sharing as they are quite generous in size. The prego steak was lovely and far more delicate than any prego sauce I’ve tried before. The croquettes had a slight bite, I’d highly recommend these! As a main we asked to share the yellowfish curry. The chef was kind enough to serve each half on separate plates. The curry was delicate, not too hot and very balanced in flavours. I particularly liked the addition of brinjal. Our service was good, although my one gripe was that it did take a while to receive the meals and we struggled to get our waiters attention. Other than that -The black sheep is definitely a must!

We had such a great time here. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff made us comfortable and offered us drinks while we waited for our table. We got the warthog curry and herbed chicken. Both were excellent with really large portions. The restaurant was buzzing throughout and had a great atmosphere.
