Fynkos,what a beautiful restaurant. We were the first there and the staff was friendly...helped us to a cuppa java before 8am.thereafter we had a scrumptious,delicious and fresh breakfast☕🍴🍳. Thank you Fynkos❤💫!!!

Be ready to pay the entrance fee to get into Kirstenbosch Gardens before you can enter the restaurant.The menu has a good variety, including nice gluten free bread to use in sandwiches.Service was great, the setting is amazing, make sure you have time to go for a walk after your meal. Or coffee and cake, plenty of delicious looking options.

Interesting, wide range of food options available. Personally the menu is overpriced especially given you are already paying an entrance fee. My food was just OK although portions are large. Perhaps a different dish would have been better. The friends I was with enjoyed their food, a smoothie and a waffle. Located conveniently at the entrance but definitely feel that for such a beautiful location the restaurant lacks a view. Plenty of outdoor seating

What a wonderful experience. The staff were pleasant and active. There was a queue to get in, but didnt wait long at all. The scones and cream were superb and served fresh. Coffee was hot and perfectly brewed, even the manager came and checked in on us. Thank you for a wonderful tea. Definitely coming back.

Absolutely delighted with our meal...fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. Excellent service in lovely surrounds...Great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday.

Wasnt too happy when I was seated in the sun on a super hot day. Asked to be reseated and I got taken to a table at the back in a corner but at least it had shade!Opened the menu and nearly fell over when I saw a greek salad cost R125 and R19 extra for feta...I ordered a burger and my mom ordered a roast mozzarella vegetable toasted sandwich.And when the nice waiter put the food on the table my experience and impression of this restaurant did a complete 180!The food was seriously delicious!! The burger was definitely freshly made and cooked in delicious sauce.My moms sandwich came out far better than expected with a unique salad which was really tasty!Thank you very much

When eating at these sort of on site attraction restaurants one typically tempers their expectations, but I gotta say--my sandwich and fries were outstanding. Excellent by any standards. 5/5 Would eat here again. Everyone at the table was equally thrilled

Love coming here. Great food, great staff and a beautiful setting. A lovey walk at Kirstenbosch followed by a breakfast or a lunch is a splendid way to enjoy any day. I’d highly recommend popping in, don’t forget to try the pie!

With something on the menu for every taste, and a true garden setting, its a must-visit place.

Lovely venue within the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Service was exceptional (we had coffee and cake). Nombulelo was our waitress and absolutely attentive, friendly and in addition the cakes were divine, beautifully presented. All COVID protocols followed above and beyond and I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely restaurant offering delicious food and natural ambiance. The service is impeccable and fairly quick. Dishes are fresh and tasty with a generous size-portion.If you are not up for a picnic in the botanical garden, this restaurant is a great alternative!However, expect prices to be more on pricey sizes. Usually pretty busy around lunch time.Ps. For breakfast lovers, they offer breakfast all day.

My favourite place I visit at least x 2 a week. Delicious meals, friendly staff, indoor and outdoor seating. Also party platter can be ordered. Surrounded by the beautiful, majestic mountains and nature. Tuesdays are free for SA seniors,Except if it falls on a public holuday) bring your ID

Such a lovely venue! Diverse menu, delicious and freshly prepared food but pricey. Friendly, efficient service.

Lovely fresh salads and plentiful plates of comfort food like sandwiches, burgers and fish and chips. Our coffee milkshake was a perfect pick-me-up on a hot day.For dessert - Highly recommend the scones here! Though sometimes they run out, so check before you’re seated.

We had a great Anniversary experience at the upper tea room where Pamela is doing a fantastic job supervising every meal that leaves her kitchen.The crispy fresh hake beer batter fish is superb and we had the choice of baby potatoes or the most amazing chips with creamed spinach and butternut. Excellent protocol was in place and the service was first class.Definitely a fine choice when youre looking for a really safe lockdown destination.

….Once you enter at gate # 2 just a little way ahead you will encounter this very huge restaurant that offers seatings inside and outside under large green umbrellas both in-front and at the back which is more under tree cover. You have to wait to be seated. The inside has a nice large long bar counter with a full-lii stocked bar but your drinks are served at your tables but now with level 3 implementation No alcohol is served. One thing that is very catch-ii is the food sign which says “Fynkos” one will almost think that the restaurants name is Fynkos as the umbrellas also advertise this but its only the food brand name, so very snazz-zii. All the staff wears mask all the time and at the entrance they spray your hands with sanitiser and the policy here is No Mask! No Entree! The staff on duty were friend-lii and the displayed pleasure in being of service to the patrons. Although we did not seat down to enjoy a meal we could notice that the place in-front and at the back was full and everyone were deep-lii engrossed in what ever they had ordered and were having a great time indulging. We only popped-in to purchase ice creams to have on our way on this splendored sunny summers afternoon walking to Rhodes Memorial. The flavours were delicious and very enjoyable and it cooled us off nice-lii. We tried the passion-fruit and the pistachio flavours but they had many more flavours to choose from. Here they serve breakfast, lunch and loads of niceties like cakes, pastries different refreshments etc, etc. If you don’t pack a picnic-basket at home you can purchase one right here too, so convenient and trouble-free. This is a must visit venue when visiting the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

Kirstenbosch is a joy and pleasure. The tea room despite its name is a sophisticated restaurant with good food and excellent coffee. Service is professional and efficient.

Had an excellent lunch with very pleasant service. The gardens are looking MAGNIFICENT all decked out in the brightest spring colours

Very nice excellent service good food and variety at affordable prices.

Fresh Delicious food. fast friendly & efficient service. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and service. We ordered the meals for the not so hungry, still decent sized portions. If youre visiting the gardens, I would recommend stopping here for a bite. Many people also just came for the gelato ice-cream. Plenty of outdoor seating also, which is great during Covid times. With big umbrellas to provide shade.

Very nice and relaxing place to have a coffee or tea or light meal before and or after having walked through the garrdens

They have outdoors and indoor seating. Lovely view. Nice atmosphere, cozy and warm. Nice for all ages to hang out. Food is nice but pricey so is the drink. The serving of food is slow compared to drinks.

This is a lovely lovely place to have lunch. The setting is unbelievable - in the absolutely stunning Kirstenbosch gardens, and the food is fantastic. We ordered the pickled fish, fattoush salad, and fish nuggets, and they were all excellent. The service standard was top quality as well. Having tea or lunch here in this historic place is a must-do in Cape Town.

It is such a lovely place nice desserts I have tried they food and service was good and fast even though it was full.

I was visiting with friends last week, 18th June - went to the gift shop to buy their perfume for a friend and wanted to then visit the Tea Room. Had been there a few years before- lovely menu and excellent food- HOWEVER we were not prepared to pay an entry fee of R 80 each to have a cup of tea and something light to eat. Not having time to walk around the gardens surely a pathway can be cordoned off for visitors only wanting to visit the Tea Room. ?

A wonderful restaurant offering a huge variety of meals and tea time treats to suit all palettes. Breakfasts, lunches and inbetween snacks. There is indoor and outdoor seating perfect for any weather. The restaurant is situated at the top gate. The toilet facilities are nearby. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.

Good food, delightful service, pity about the rain that chased everyone inside

Stunning in every respect - World class!!I cannot recall having a better overall traditional English breakfast experience anywhere in the world.Couldn’t work out what sauce the mushrooms were served in, but hands down the best flavour combination of any mushroom dish I’ve eaten - Glorious!They do an excellent espresso coffee, which was also a bonus.Exquisite setting a further joy 😍

We enjoyed a lovely, tasty lunch served by a very friendly and courteous person.Enjoyed the open air eating space with a beautiful view of the garden.Then another highlight visiting the plant nursery! What a feast! (had my bank manager on speeddial😉)Bought exquisite Gazanias and Kirstenbosch selfmade organic compost.What a day-dont delay-go today!

Beautiful location, good service and lovely food. I do feel it has gotten a bit pricy though.

Awesome tea time experience! Service was unexpectedly excellent, and the scones and gluten-free chocolate mouse cake were all amazing.

After an enjoyable day walking around and enjoying the majestic beauty of our own botanical gardens, what can be better than having a break in the picturesque setting restaurant/tea room and having some team/coffee/hot chocolate. And then to top it off, the owner, author of a recipe book, comes to spend time with you. My wife and cousin had that experience and the other occasion when I was with, did not strike it lucky. But the service is excellent, beverages good quality and the setting by having this beautiful landscape in front of you, simply memorable.

Delicious meal, GINORMOUS portions, very kid friendly and pleasant service. Great customer centric assistance from the manager on duty when there was a small issue with my meal. Seems pricey, but you could easily share most meals.

Great setting, good service and a really decent menu for everyone from omnivores to vegetarians and even vegans! The coffee is excellent too! Theyve also made a huge effort to be sustainable. The only downside (and its a taste thing ) was the vegan granola bar. It was a sugar fest of note. I only had one small bite and my teeth are still in shock!

The food is always top class and the views are out of this world. There is no digital device policy, which means no WiFi, but that was not the end of the world. Enjoy myself.

The food is surprisingly good and service is just great, a perfect place to sit and enjoy the beautiful garden while having a snack.

Staff are very friendly and food is delicious.They have this decadent hot chocolate, which is very decadent

Was not satisfied with my meal. From the menu it looked really delicious. Both our ordes were incorrect. Side salad was a chips and the eggs benedict was soft and not medium. Also with it being not so busy, service took too long. General atmosphere being in the gardens was nice.

Excellent cafe/ restaurant... the service is amazing. Professional and friendly. I had for lunch, hake fish with veggies, sweet potatoes chips, and butter and garlic sauce and that was just divine, to end my visit to the garden.😊......off course if youre going there, dont forget to try the lemonade, it is very refreshing🔝

Situated at the top gate of Kirstenbosch Gardens with inside and outside shaded seating. Wonderful food and beautiful views.. We particularly enjoy the Mediterranean Platter to share. Great potatoe chips. Friendly service. A lovely venue for families. They do get extremely busy over peak season - especially breakfast time on the weekends or public holidays. They do not take reservations so make sure you get there at latest 9h00.Updated review February 2021. Still our favorite go to place. We enjoyed our lunch, baboti with yellow rice, Japanese prawn salad, the chips as a side, ending with baked cheese cake. Covid protocols strictly adhered to, for your safety.

Go here for breakfast occasionally after a hike or walk in the garden. Great food, well priced, friendly and knowledgeable staff.Great views too as you can see some of the garden as you sit outside.

The vegetarian picnic is out of this world and the restaurant food is consistently good. I even bought the cookbook! Love Fynkos. ❤

Popped in to have Ginger Beer and Scones. An odd combination to be sure. The freshly baked scone were delicious and the ginger beer awesome. Definitely returning here

Very nice food! The vegetable plate of the day is magnificent! Second time I am having it. Good price too!

Due to covid the teagarden is closed, but they do takeaways, which were lovely.

One of my favourite places. Lovely staff and really good food with an absolutely stunning setting.

Gardens are beautiful .Restaurant serves rasty food.Entrance is fair

Awesome food in an awesome setting with the mountains in the background

World renowned gardens. Always a joy to visit.

Yummy food, big portions at great flavours/ variety.

Had awesome breakfast with my mom. Friendly staff and very tasty food. Had a lovely day exploring the gardens.We will most certainly be back

Great cafe/restaurant with an elaborate menu. Good service and great value for money!Try the Belgian Waffle with fudge sauce!!

Food, teas, coffees, etc. always excellent. Service invariably good and friendly. Prices are high...but what can you expect when you are having a meal in one of the most beautiful gardens in the world and you are surrounded by breathtaking views.

The food is quite good and the staff are friendly.

Whilst you visit the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden you just have to drop in at the Tea Room for a cuppa and some of the tastiest toasted sandwiches with a side salad, fries or sweet potato fries. The staff is friendly, efficient and really make you feel welcome in the garden.

This tea room is OK. I still think the pensioners tea and scone should be cheaper .R60 for a pensioner is not cheap!! Then one had to tip the waiter.Come on why not treat them to R30 tea and scone!!!!Kirstenbosch garden is getting neglected due to lack of income and less maintenance staff. It is still a mini Paradise.

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and the food variety. Theres a lot of gluten free, healthy, and vegetarian options and our food was ready in less than 5 minutes. Its also conveniently located right at the exit of the garden. Would come again!

We just love this tea room. It caters for everyone especially pensioners. If you go on a Tuesday when there us free entrance to the gardens for over 60s...bargain

The scones are nice , service is great

Efficient service, good food and wonderful setting at a reasonable cost!

Recommended to us for their Fish&Chips.We know now why - surprisingly good.Hamburgers also worth mentioning, well revisit when in the area.

Lovely platter, service was great and a perfect end to a wonderful day.

Heated rooms with good tea makes your day after visiting the garden in chilling weather.Varieties of tea, coffee & breakfast available, a bit overpriced.

I love it , great restaurant.

Always good service and food and lovely setting.

An establishment that does not seem to suffer from the curse of location. It has a beautiful location, but still offers good service and good food. If Kirstenbosch alone is not worth a visit, then the gardens and a stop at the tea room must make it near irresistible

Worth a visit with a wonderful view of the Table Mountain. Service is excellent, food is Devine. Delicious from the first bite to the very last Cape pickled fish is second to none, served with home baked bread of your choice and a side salad is out of this world. For dessert the baked cheese cake is to die for. Great experience.

Good menue, good service.

With a name like tea room, youd be forgiven for not expecting much. But set in the picturesque Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the Tea Room offers some of the best light meals and refreshments Ive ever had. Delicious cakes and coffee, friendly service and a beautiful location set in the shadow of the mountain, theres no better way to start or finish a walk out in nature than with a stop at the Tea Room.

Such a lovely good value for money restaurant. Lovely picnics too & the most friendly staff.

Very good food. A bit expensive for a SA citizen

Pleasant venue....friendly service and well portioned tasty meals etc....

Delicious meals, cakes and pastries to round off a lovely walk in the gardens. My favorite spot

Normal but the place was so nice

Always have a wonderful experience here. How could you not when surrounded by such natural beauty??

Lovely ice creams and coffees. Large food portions and tasty

Food was delicious and super portions. We went for breakfast my son had a beef burger added cheese and bacon , came with chips and onion rings.

Lovely venue.. Great staff.. The food still has that eighties vibe which can be a little off putting. Move out of the eighties

Convenient rest stop after a hike, but not very accommodating for Halaal meals and families needing Halaal food

They recently rebranded to FYNKOS and I just love getting a takeaway here when visiting the gardens. They have a lovely selection of mini-cakes and the cherry cheesecake is a must-try. The ice-cream selection is also really good but a bit pricey at R38 a scoop. I tried the meat picnic platter (R250) and it was so delicious, more than enough for 2 people. The staff are also very friendly and helpful and all COVID protocols are in place. It would be great if they had more than one person doing the takeaway orders/ice creams at the till.

Love this spot for the tea room. Light lunch was great. Well presented and very tastefull. Very efficient service

Love the KTR but Im not impressed with SANBIs gate charges now.

A great restaurant especially on a Tuesday pensioners day to have tea/coffee and a snack..Beautiful walks and beautiful mountainous scenery

Great service, and a lovely meal.

Horrific Service. Lacklustre Staff. But Divine Ice Cream.

Lovely meal and visit with friend.

Although I enjoy this facility I was extremely disappointed that there were no scones this morning! Rather like the butcher running out of meat. Not good! Scones are quick and easy to knock up!

Great menu. Plenty variety. Food portions are generous and delicious. Service was excellent. We all left satisfied and vowed to return often.

Kirstenbosch tea Gardens. I would go there for the happy staff alone. The food is delicious. I forget to take a Pic. Sorry.

Great food. Great service. Interesting menu. Something for everyone.

Lovely stop after a visite to the botanical garden. Good for a quick meal or just for a cup of tea. Only one notice: free digital device area!

Breakfast was delicious. Service excellent. Beautiful setting

Great place, good food and friendly service. With Covid-19 tables are even further away from each other making enjoying the garden that much better.

Amazing venue. Good food 🥘

Beautiful setting,wonderful food, and excellent service.

The berry best berry smoothie. The food was okay.

Absolutely friendly waitress and service! Delicious coffee milkshake! Thank you!

We enjoyed our coffee & French Toast... service good, surroundings always great!

Good food, friendly staff. Amazing views and nice and spacious.
