Riverine Rabbit

I was so surprised by this restaurant. I thought when I looked as the menu it would be a little bit of nothing on a big white plate. I was totally wrong. From the amazing welcome at the door, the charming, intelligent and knowledgeable staff to what was one of the best meals I have had in Cape Town. Often food can look amazing but you are disappointing with the flavours. This kitchen not only knows how to present their dishes but they are also flavoured to perfection. I will have to visit again as I wanted to eat every dish on the menu. Well done to the team. 😘

We went here for our 10th anniversary. Didn't get to meet Ash, but were offered a glass of bubbly in her absence. A taste sensation with friendly staff. Our favourites were the desserts (winter stone pudding, and milk and honey), and the leek starter. The fudge at the end was a lovely touch. Would've given a 5, had they offered my partner an alternative to the bubbly (she doesn't do alcohol) and replaced the egg in her main course (she doesn't do eggs). Unfortunately there was only one vegetarian main course on the menu. We're both vegetarian. Pity we didn't read the fine print when booking - that they don't do substitutions 😏

A visceral, perfectly-crafted tapestry of taste, smell and experience. I came here for the superficial reason of seeing what Ash's restaurant was all about. But I am leaving with so much respect for every member of staff here. You have joined together to make something truly excellent — I will be back. Thank you.

The experience of this restaurant was just as much fun as the food! We did the full tasting menu with wine pairings. Everything was delicious and very unique. The kitchen is open so you can watch the chefs at work. We met Ash, the head chef, after eating. She was absolutely charming, as was everyone at the RR. If you're looking for some fine dining in Cape Town then I highly recommend this place.

I really enjoyed my experience at Riverine Rabbit. Katina was an excellent server. The head chef Ash was not there when I first arrived for 6 pm which was totally fine as her team appeared to work effortlessly without her. The full course menu is very filling in my view. I suspect the most popular dishes would be the honey cured beef or the duck. Both were beautiful. My favourite savoury dish was the leek and the dessert was easily the winner. My only real criticism is of the sweets at the end of the meal. I personally did not enjoy them - and would have preferred not to have them.
