Homage 1862 - Cape Town Central

The setting is really interesting with a botanical theme (pot plants all over the interior) along with a slightly confused astrology angle going on too (star motif projected onto the back wall). Really cute bar upstairs and balcony over Loop Street. Wine options nothing too special, though enough on offer. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Salmon, either the Blackened with Avo or the salmon dish accompanied by sweat peas and broccoli. Possibly the best piece of fish I’ve ever had. Prices are fairly high all round. Go for the fish, it’s definitely worth trying at least once! Overall a great spot for something new!

Homage 1862 on Loop Street was my venue of choice for a catch-up with family recently, and gets its inspiration from its double-story Victorian building built in 1862. As it was a warm evening, as opposed to our booked table next to their fire, we chose to sit outside upstairs and enjoy the intricate iron stilts and wooden balcony overlooking the Pepper Club Hotel. To eat, we all selected their recommended salmon, which was melt-in-your-mouth perfection and incredibly flavorsome to boot.. Think Salmon, Miso, Fynbos Honey, English Spinach and wood-fired Broccolini Mange tout, with Yuzu Enoji, Crushed Sesame and Red chili finish this dish off beautifully! Service: Attentive. Interiors: Albeit on such a hot summers night, warm but pretty. Food: Good. I would definitely return for that fresh salmon again! For more, find me on Instagram, Facebook Twitter: LaurasWorldza

Had my birthday party at Homage last night. Pre-booked and a table was set up upstairs. Firstly I found the place on the internet and had NO idea how it would be. My online research guided me to it. Venue-really lovely. Good use of space and lovely vibe. Our waiter was superb- friendly, helpful and attentive. Starters was tasty, fresh and delicious. My friends consists of serious meat eaters, vegans, lactose intollerant and Gluton intollerant people- and there were wonderful, delicious choices for everyone. Timing was goid etc. Everybody had the time of their lives, we are all going back! All my friends commented that they will be visiting again. Thanks Homage!!

Dinner for two, cool new place, good and fresh food, kind waiter. This new restaurant is surely a very nice addition to the offering of Cape Town. The owners did a very good job in creating a home like ambiance , and the smell of wood fire oven matches the place perfectly. It’s nice to find that burnt flavour also in some dishes. What I particularly liked is the way food is cooked, not over cooked or over covered with sauces.

A true Gem! Dinner tonight marked my third time back at Homage 1862 in less than a week! The warm welcome, friendly service and unbelievably honest food, will keep you salivating for more. There is an abundance of vegetarian meals, allowing you to create your own experience tailored to your tastebuds although everything is fantastic. My favorite is the Vegetarian Curry, followed by the Blackened Salmon. Homage is a true Gem and I cannot wait to be back for more. Thanks to Dan, Olivia and the rest of the team!
