Laid Back Cuisine

Drawing inspiration from Cape’s diversity, Chef Andre Hill attempts to create some rather interesting contrasts at Upper Bloem, a restaurant he co-owns with the legendary chef, Henry Vigar. At their restaurant, you can enjoy a world-class experience where you lay back and savour a varied tasting menu as if you were at home. Upper Bloem is city eatery that, through seasonality and select ingredients creates a distinctive feel of terroir.

At Upper Bloem, there are lunch and dinner menus. The latter is a full three-course dinner over 9 tapas dishes. There are vegetarian, gluten and dairy free options, just notify them at the moment of reservation. Though lunch serves a smaller menu, it is designed to share and pass the goodness around the table, a quintessentially Cape thing to do!
