Fabulous artistic Centre with little shops and organic goods. And an art studio run by the artist herself.Plus two lovely restaurants to choose from. A must if you are in the area.

A real treasure of Newlands and a must visit if youre in the area. Worth the drive from town as well. Particularly enjoyable on a wet, rainy day .. browsing around the nursery.

A splendid place to eat and buy locally produced items of art, jewellery, craft and food.

Quaint place with a very wide variety of shops/stalls. Be it art, crafts, jewellery, decor etc. there’s bound to be something that catches your fancy. As with most things in Cape Town though, it is tourist focused and not always so friendly on the local pocket. But if you’re not in the mood to shop, strolling around the lovely nursery and it’s many little greenhouses is also a wonderful pastime. The Gardener’s Cottage restaurant also offers a range of meals from simple tea and scones, to more elaborate burgers and more. Enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee under the camphor trees or sit inside where it’s more cosy on the windy days. If you want a little bit of everything and a fuss-free day out, Montebello is a good place to try.

Lovely place to bring kids. Nice fish. Nice things to ride. Good menu for carnivores and vegetarians. Exceptionally friendly watrons.

The paint making session with the founder of Butterfly Art Project, Angela Katchka at Montebello Design Center was amazing followed by an intuitive art class with Amy Cornfield had my creative juices going in an environment that nurtures the creative process ❤️

Such a gorgeous place

Lovely relaxing and tranquel place. Sit down order delicious coffee and something to eat at the Picnic spot. Everything delicious. Really worth the visit.

Beautiful place. Amazing Art Design Centre to be at, John Bauer and other artists lighten up this place all the time.

A superb small shopping village with lots of artisanal products for the home. You can watch artisans working including one of the few people making Xylophones, carvers making artefacts. It’s a lovely trees setting with workshops, cafes and a kombucha maker. Just five minutes drive from Kirstenbosch so tourists could combine both on one day.

Such a lovely place and ambience. Lovely for the whole family...a nursery, restaurant, cafe with play areas, beautiful art and freshly sourced food

A creative oasis in the heart of Newlands. Amble ithrough the forest and browse through the studios. The magic of montebello is almost tangible in the air. Pause for a cup of tea or pick up a plant on the way home. Its my feel good place.

Good to know that The Gardners Cottage have extended their operating hours👏Definitely going to support Murray of Little Leaf too.

Such a creative place to visit! Cute cafe, plant nursery and lovely shops and studios.

Rustic country feel with small shops in containers. Great restaurant

I absolutely love visiting Montebello. Its a quiet little place in the heart of the leafy suburb of Newlands. You feel as if you are in a forest when you first enter. There are the most lovely shops (I love the beaded jewellery shop there - great for gifts) and a lovely little cafe to have something to eat. Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch or lunch. Definitely a nice place to take visitors to Cape Town.

A real Newlands institution. Despite UCTs best efforts to eliminate the place and prevent it from becoming a proper design centre it has evolved to become an important location in the area. Features a great gift shop and the fantastic Gardeners Cottage Restaurant in addition to a collection of workshops for artists and small businesses. It has been around since at least the mid-1990s. Always a great place to meet friends for a relaxing day or see the art exhibits. A real favorite for people in the surrounding area.

The design centre has lots of different crafts/crafter on offer. The restaurant is always busy and without power today, I guess they used gas to boil water for tea and coffee (not the greatest tasting coffee in the opinion of my friend and I). The eats we had were good (carrot cake - tasty but a bit dry; almond cake - nice and moist without being cloying)

Interesting a exciting range of shops. Lovely gardens. Great car wash while you browse around. Prefect resturant.

The Gardeners Cottage restaurant at Montabello is a most charming brunch and lunch destination in the most beautiful garden setting. Fabulous cakes and deli treasures too! Booking recommended.

A quiet, well shaded and relaxing atmosphere surrounds this unique southern suburbs hub for art, artists and artisans. From pottery to woven goods to painting and sculpture, there is a wide selection of African talent on show. It also features a great cafe and an exceptional garden centre.

Lovely ambience, good service. Very easy to get to from the highways and byways. Browsing the centres craft outlets afterwards makes it a relaxing stimulating excursion.

Its a place to be when youre in southern suburbs the menu offers a great variety. There are also arts shops around where you can choose different things my special art shops was Sizwe arts

Best place for Xmas shopping - under the trees supporting local artist buying real presents that dont pollute the earth, no crowds to deal with. Happy all round

Great setting. Kid friendly. Lunch served STRICKTLY between 1 and 3pm. Reservation necessary. You cannot reserve for tea though (served stricktly after 3pm). Good food. A bit pricey - but what you can expect in Newlands.

Very interesting to see all the different arts n crafts n foods. Had a delicious light lunch with a good friend

Attended a workshop in a beautiful space and had a lovely lunch at the restaurant.

Stunning place but they mismark things in their bistro and rip you off later. Coffee is nice but way over priced.

I adopted two beautiful pot plants. I am so happy.

A variety of stalls, craft and art shops, as well as various studios to learn different art skills. It has good restaurant on the property and a venue for kids parties.

An award winning gift shop for starters.

A nice tonic to accompany well done chicken... with a great service in addition to areas to visit paintings etc

Lovely things to see but priced for tourists

Great variety of shops selling various gifts. A little pricey

Nice menu but food ICE cold

Beautiful space, calm restfullness, creative loveliness and scrumptious food!

A wonderful place in the middle of the city. call it a arts and crafts mall. While you there check out Sizwe art. your one stop place for Miniture and life size fine art s and crafts. Beautifuly handcrafted immaculately finished and inexpensively priced @ the shop under the oak Tree.

Lovely venue for handmade art and craft.

Portions a little small. Good taste. Worth it.

So glad there is a Nude Foods there! Its small but has the basics! Not a fan of the restaurant.... beautiful area but quite overpriced.

Always something interesting to find.

Not open on public holiday

Independent artists of various traits

Beautiful creative space

Small center with artists craftsmen gardening and restoration in a very pleasant setting.
