Sunday lunch has a perfect formula at Pot Luck Club. You get to enjoy a very well balanced set menu, rich of different flavours. I’ve been here also when the menu is a la carte, and it’s always difficult to choose between the many different and delicious dishes. I love also the location , very high on top of a building next to Salt River.

An amazing vibe and amazing food. It is very pricey though.

A bit busy/noisy but great views and even better food. We enjoyed this more than some of the tasting menus at more expensive restaurants.

Fantastic food, excellent service, stunning venue...only gripe is that the wines are horribly overpriced... an amazing selection of interesting boutique wines showcasing RSA greatness... but why oh why do you add so much profit?!?! add a decent markup and a cellar fee, but make it more attractive that simple 400% price! I honestly believe if it was more affordable you would sell more premiumwines!

Great food but quite pricey. I would suggest best for date night rather than a group outing. The views of the city from Woodstock are stunning in the evening. Parking can be an issue for the evening crowd in Woodstock so either get their early enough or Uber.

If you are dying to try something different then this is the place. The flavor pairings are very unique. The green curry martini, ta cos and duck were definitely the highlights on the menu. Our waiter had great suggestions and made us laugh the whole night. An awesome evening overall.

Lively atmosphere in a unique setting with stunning mountain views. The staff was professional and friendly. The first few courses came out so quickly that it felt a bit overwhelming, but man were they delicious. Every taste of every dish was on point. Portion sizes were also decent and filling. Overall it was great service with great food so a winning combination.

Delicious fine dining food. Nice small plate sharing experience. Amazing views 👏

An amazing experience! came here with my family and its one of my last and favourite memories before my dad passed away.we had so much fun and the food was delicious. thank you!

Superb food experience. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Exciting and surprising flavours and food that pleases the eye.Thanks for an unforgettable experience, and also to Sean! Well done guys!

Food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent and they had a variety to choose from on the menu

Outstanding experience and would highly recommend it to everyone.

To be honest we had a lot of ups and downs on this seasons menue.We had two amazing years in a row but 2020 might not be the year of Pot Luck Club. Team has changed and so, many of our favorite dishes.Don’t worry the Tacos and the Beef Steak is still on the menue. But would you recommend Staff 8/10 and food 5/10 ?Order the classics and you are fine 👌🏻

Cosy, food was fantastic, great views...definitely a must

NIce setting and view. But waiter very pushy and it’s not for the personnel to tell the client they sell the best beef is SA, it’s for the client to make his opinion. Wine list very expensive and the cheaper wine (R600) we wanted was out of stock. Food is interesting but overhyped. In particular, the vegetable based dishes, the Daikon was stunning to look at but very bland and the rather spicy salad accompanying it did not do it any favours. The asparagus tart was supposed to have so many different flavours (porcine, truffle…) but again the asparagus hardly tasted of asparagus. Same thing with the cauliflower, which was only interesting because of what was around it. Bread and butter pudding was excellent but the milk, honey and tea will soon be forgotten. Considering the prices, portions are not generous to say the least (with the exception of desserts).

Superb food and an even better venue. The service is top drawer and one of the best restaurants we have had the pleasure of eating at.

Absolutely adore this restaurant. What a gem.Could not pick a favourite dish. Each and every flavour was carefully considered and combined. Plating was spectacular.Their cocktails sound a bit odd at first (I had the green curry cocktail) but wowzers they are all a must!Easily my favourite restaurant in South Africa.The venue has a stunning view of both the ocean, CT CBD and the mountain.The staff was friendly but could be a bit more attentive.Overall service was amazing.

Delicious food experience.

Really good food and nice variety of tasting dishes.The only downside was that I expected more from the dining experience. Staff kept whizzing passed our table on either side, which wasnt ideal. It was often quite difficult to get service. And they kept opening the window (or something) and the place kept going from comfortable to really cold.Otherwise a great meal and good value.

Amazing food with spectacular views. 😍

The most delicious and varied menu. The waiters were on top form, ready to explain what was being served too up drinks etc. Great service and the chefs are top class.

Food was lovely. I enjoyed the sharing concept. Not somewhere you would go on a budget for sure. But worth it.

Just an incredible restaurant.Everything we ordered was excellent - particularly the pork belly and fish tacos. The staff were waiting friendly and it was a real experience watching the kitchen staff work their magic. It was even fun getting the lift up to the restaurant!I cant wait to go back to this restaurant and then spend the afternoon pottering around the Old Biscuit Mill.You definitely need to book though as its so popular. We saw people turned away at lunch time because they didnt have a reservation.

Made Reservations very early on the Restaurant Website. The Ambience is Amazing the Cocktails Great and The food to die for!!! Did not disappoint a bit!

Good food and beautiful views.... Food quality for price is however debatable.

The best dinner I had in Cape Town. We went for the vegetarian dishes, they were amazingly delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to order cheese and a desert. We also enjoyed the concept of the menu as well as the amazing view of Cape Town.

We came here as two families to enjoy a Friday evening and our first in Cape Town. What a fantastic way to start our trip! We booked weeks in advance as it’s so busy and so popular and really I can see why you need to. Every dish we had was fabulous, full of flavour and devoured. We were very well taken care of by the waiters and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. We loved the tapas sharing style. You get roughly 2 or 3 pieces per plate. We decided we all wanted to taste the same so ordered 4 plates of everything. Our waiter suggested we pick 2 dishes each but we plumped for just 1 each (thinking we could just order more) and then had a couple of desserts to share. We all felt we had probably 2 dishes too many (excluding desserts) but even so we ate almost every scrap! Our last dish was pork belly which although lovely was far too heavy and rich to be a last dish and probably the only dish we all collectively agreed we wouldn’t have again. It’s expensive but really worth it. The views were beautiful too. I’d definitely return here on my next visit.

Variety of flavors! Great food

You have to book early. We had a lunch at 14h00. Yes the food was good, but to be honest; it was expensive, and the experience was mehhh.... Maybe dinner is the best option. Eating with a nice skyline in the sunset!

Doing well under the restrictions. Dining experience superb.Timing constraints do make you wary.Chefs excellent.

What an amazing place for so many reasons. Location, view, food, service, drinks!!Make sure you do the best to turn up with a few friends, this place is really something else with a group. When you do go through the list of options, I mean, try to get one of everything for a tasty treat.Can only recommend, I will be back for sure next time I am in town.

My expectations were high.Service great, presentation spot on; but 2 dishes were unpleasant and not all dishes were explained to us properly. The peanut butter bomb is a MUST!!

Was taken here by a friend. Was absolutely not disappointed, amazing atmosphere with the kitchen fully exposed.Server was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu and any wine that we chose.We selected our food and were both very impressed.Its not only the food here which is amazing, the views from either side of the restaurant are breathtaking, whether youre looking at the full view of the harbour or the gorgeous views of Table Mountain on the other side.Both the food and the experience were totally worth the price, 10/10 would go back.

Amazing views, food and service. Highly recommended. Reservations need to be made online to avoid disappointment. I dined alone and was made to feel comfortable and included. It was great to watch the service as well as admire the brilliant 360 degree views. Least enjoyable for me was the lift/elevator to the top floor, as the vertigo made me cling to the handle bar for dear life. I recommend visiting this restaurant at least once in a visit to Cape Town. Your taste buds will thank you. Try the crispy calamari and the apple tart! Simply sublime! The wine menu, ambiance and decor make the restaurant one of the most delightful experiences for any foodie visiting Cape Town. The mill is an interesting architectural venue. Rather use Uber as the location is sketchy.

Words cannot even describe the joy I feel about this place!!! A very big JOB WELL DONE to the owners!!! Heartfelt compliments to the chef/s and all those who contributed to this beautiful experience including our stunning waitron Carly!!! I am beyond satisfied with the service and food I received today especially due to the fact that I traveled from Durban for this!!! Money/Time & Effort well spent!!! I hope to soon visit your brother restaurants soon!!!!Please open a branch in DURBAN!!!!We need this sort of fine dinning on the east coast!!

Amazing views and first class food, would have like it even more if we werent rushed off the table though 😊

Fantastic food and fantastic views. Get there for sunset.

Best food you will ever eat

I mean, can I give 6 Stars? 7? 8? Its that good. And WHAT a setting. 360 degree views over Table Mountain, the Cape Town harbour... Every direction really.The food itself was pure bliss. Every meal carefully constructed by a team of chefs who really care about what they are doing. The menu is created in a tasting style. You order between 5 and 10 dishes and 2 people can share each portion. Literally a culinary orgasm explodes through your pallet after every sample passes your lips! Dont miss this eatery if you call yourself a foodie. Or even if you dont. Just go and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere. Generally you need to book 2 to 3 months in advance to get a seat but I have arrived on site twice and charmed my way into a chair by the chefs kitchen bar. The second time I just told them I was from Google. Which wasnt really a lie was it? We all are from Google these days arent we? ;-)))

Its good, but its not that good. The place is overhyped imho, didnt really live up to the expectations.The restaurant is beatifully situated on a roof top. Everything is nicely presented.Service is so and so, I would expect more tentative service.Some dishes are really good, but far from all of them.

Fabulous meal! Great views across Woodstock and the mountains. If you dont have a reservation sit at the communal table.

The potluck club food and service were outstanding.The Thai green curry cocktail was to die for, the coconut really stood out without being too sweet, and the chili pepper added just the perfect hint of spice.Comfort, one of the staff, was our favorite food delivery person. His genuine passion and love for the food really stood out as he described each dish, taking the whole experience to the next level.

I have traveled the world, but this was without a doubt my best EVER culinary experience. Bravo Pot Luck Club!!

I was emotionally moved by everything!!!! the tacos were amazing, the pork belly was out of this world keep it on the menu!!!!I literally felt like i was on a tasting trip 🤯🤯

Great food. A few of the meals had larger portions than expected. Probably only need 6 plates for a couple.

Its a great for a relaxed dining experience with fantastic food. I recommend the beef as well as the sliders. Been there a few times now and will continue to go back.

Loved it! Superb food. They have a separate veggie menu. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very helpful, making spot on wine recommendations.

The Sunday brunch was sensational. The food was amazing, service was excellent and the vibe, lovely. The fish sliders were my absolute favourite but the yuzu creme and mushroom brioche bread deserve honorable mentions. I cant eat oysters and the mushroom with apple and lime, they served as an alternative was unlike any mushroom dish I have ever eaten One of my top dining experiences.

Amazing meal and service. Cannot recommend it enough

10 out of 10, a superb meal. Couldn’t pick a favourite dish as there was great variety with everything I tasted being superb! View of the mountain also make for a great backdrop and the service and wine where equally enjoyable!

Very nice location, good food but nothing to die for. Surely overpriced fot what you get both food and service.

I managed to get a reservation with my wife at the very last minute and was looking forward to my weekday luncheon all day1. the food quality is overall above average. but for the price you are paying, the portion is super small and the value for money isn’t there.2. service is somewhat lackluster - there were a few good servers who were very friendly . however, by and large, the restaurant does seem undermanned.3. the waits in between dishes are unbearable. as what other reviewers have mentioned, you have to wait inconsistent timing between dishes. we waited for almost half an hour after finishing with our first two dishes before the next dish was served and then waited for another 20 mins.in conclusion, i thought it was severely overhyped and overpriced. will not be coming back

We discovered the Pot Luck Club in Cape Town when we were looking for the restaurant The Test Kitchen - one of the best 50 restaurants worldwide. At the time of our visit both restaurants were run by the same owner. Unfortunately, The Test Kitchen was still closed - in retrospect a lucky coincidence, because the food and especially the bright atmosphere of the Pot Luck Club fascinated us deeply.Both restaurants are located on the premises of the Old Biscuit Mill and are only steps away from each other. In this area of Cape Town there are some small galleries and many handicraft businesses. After a short small talk with the chefs in The Test Kitchen we took the elevator to the top floor and were welcomed in The Pot Luck Club in a very friendly way.The restaurant manager was so nice and let us sit at his table. The staff was all extremely friendly and quick and we enjoyed the great service.The Pot Luck Club has an open kitchen inside the restaurant which looks like a classic factory floor and with its massive wooden furniture it is down-to-earth but nevertheless very chicly furnished. To the outside the restaurant is framed by large windows that allow guests to look out over the rooftops of Cape Town while dining.The menu in the Pot Luck Club offers the dishes in five flavours - salty, sweet, sour, bitter & umami (amino acids glutamic acid and asparagine acid) - only fatty was missing... why in fact only...😉 I found this very pleasant because it is so close to the culinary aspects. Also striking was the beautiful tableware, which consisted of many different handmade plates and bowls, a little feast for the eyes.With the selection of the dishes we put ourselves completely in the hands of our waitress. So, we had salty marinated olives, a tuna tartar and green salad as a starter - accompanied by a very tasty bread. Everything was served with love, very tasty and of high quality and freshness.Afterwards there was trout with fennel, apple and lime - which was the sour taste - and parallel Korean cauliflower which felt under salty.In the main course we had for example Unamie crispy octopus served. This had already spent many hours in the Sous Vide bath before it was breaded and fried and you could taste it - it was buttery and of a surprisingly tender texture.Next came an incredibly tender and juicy beef tenderloin - again from the umami flavour - which had a hint of black pepper and was served with an incredibly delicious and innovative truffle café au lait sauce. One of the best sauces I have ever had the honour of tasting! Not to forget of course the handmade French fries - these were in no way inferior to those from Belgium.After these culinary delights only the escape into sweetness remained. With the Pot Luck Club S`mores and a small special production the cooks of the Pot Luck Club showed us that sweet is also one of their strengths. The whole thing was rounded off with an excellent cappuccino and we were more than happy.The prices at Pot Luck Club can justifiably be described as reasonable - such good quality will be hard to find in Europe at these prices. Our visit to the Pot Luck Club was a complete success - culinary as well as atmospheric. A clear recommendation to all who visit Cape Town to stop by at least once - but make a reservation in advance and sent some greetings from Erik!Feel free to follow my Google Maps profile, check out my other reviews and be sure to visit foodadvisorblog!

Had my birthday dinner there. Maybe we were just very unlucky but the food was medicore at best. There was nothing special about it. The portions were also very small. After we left, we got a pizza as we were all still hungry. Service could have also been better. You constantly had to remind them to give you more sparkling wine. Also dont understand, why they cant include white/ rose or red wine to the bottomless sparkling wine special. They can even have pre-selected ones but for the price, I think they should include it. Conclusion: There is a lot of choice in Cape Town. I would suggest, go to a good tapas bar instead. Will be cheaper and better/ more food.PS: The food you see are not portions for one person but to share

Quality of each plate is exceptional. Truly a wonderful experience.

Step 1, make sure you have a reservation. Step 2, eat everything - the dishes are so tasty. Step 3, try some cocktails or local wines. You can sit and watch the busy kitchen or take in great views over Cape Town. What’s more the Old Biscuit Mill market is directly below so if you have room you can eat and drink even more!

Came for lunch and wasnt disappointed. Interesting dishes, cooked wonderfully and a beautiful setting. Recommend the Thai green curry cocktail and the pork belly curry

Absolutely delicious food! We were a party of 4 and ordered a range of 12 dishes which we shared. All the dishes were well prepared and tasted wonderful. Would definitely go again!

I was skeptical and borderline angry walking into this restaurant (went on the recommendation of a friend) because my first impressions were that it was bougie, and too much like one of those new wave trendy restaurants. I was also angered by the fact that it was a small plates (tapas) restaurant. I hate tapas! I feel like it’s a waste of money, and I don’t feel full at the end of the meal despite having spent more than necessary for a few small plates of food. However, after getting our first dish I changed my tune immediately. The food just kept getting better and better and better. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and everything that came out was outstanding. And to my surprise I was full at the end. Although this experience hasn’t changed how I feel about tapas generally, I would go back next time I’m in Cape Town.

Great View, Great Service- Wasn’t particularly wowed by any of the meals tho - Great presentation but average taste. Also found the restaurant a bit pricey!

Amazing meal, so many good dishes it’s hard to pick a favorite. From the calamari, to the lamb and incredible desert selection. Everything was excellent!

Absolutely

Very nice experience. Very friendly and professional staff. Very good quality of ingredients. For sure not a cheap option but the combination of inventiveness, sevice and view really make it somathing special. Defenitely worth the advamce planning to get a reservation.

Such a cool restaurant in the heart of the Woodstock neighbourhood. This restaurant is high sought after, so make reservations early! We tried to book one month before our visit and it was full booked! Luckily our credit card company was able to secure a reservation for us. The small share plates were so delicious and the cocktails were exceptional. It was our honeymoon and we were even treated to a surprise dessert to help us celebrate. This restaurant has such a great vibe, it’s on the top floor so offers great views of the city and is very eclectic. The service is incredible as well. Overall such a fantastic dining experience.

Amazing views and fabulous food. Highly recommend

Yummy, hip and great service! We went for a special occasion and we were really impressed. The only thing is the difficulty for social distance and it is a small restaurant, busy and not that much air flow. We personally loved it!

Great atmosphere on the top of the old biscuit mill. We liked the casual environment and the excellent dishes. The beef, fish tacos and the ice cream sandwich were the highlights, very balanced and cooked on point!

Such a nice atmosphere and nice taste of foods.

A nice place with a perfect view to the mountains. Taste the beef and the Ceviche. Fine Japanese and also Peruvian cuisine. Only bad thing: Reservation time. ;)

Wauw! 1. Location: youre looking out over whole cape town including table Mountain. 2. Food: little dishes you share with the table. Flavours are amazing. 3. Service: as it could be. Garrett did a great job and we didnt have to ask for anything!

Hands down best restraunt in South Africa every-time I’m in Capetown I can’t leave the city without having the food here.

Food and service was amazing!

Hidden in the corner of the parking lot is the glass elevator that takes you to the 6th floor of Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. Nestled on top of the silos at the old biscuit mill is a restaurant Willy himself would be proud of with stunning views of Cape Town. The smell from the open kitchen welcomes you as you exit the elevator, exciting your taste buds for what is to come. Seating no more than 60 people, the small restaurant is tastefully decorated and upmarket with some of the most caring & hospitable staff I have come across. The menu is designed for multiple portions to be shared, however I was taken care of as I was on my own. I had the Beef Tataki, Pork Belly & the Crispy Calamari. The food was simply AMAZING with the flavors perfectly complementing each other & exploding in your mouth, not dissimilar to Wonkas everlasting gobstopper. Finished off by the Raspberry Curd which was tart & sweet and the perfect way to end a fantastic meal. As a walk-in off the street I was incredibly lucky to get a seat at this amazing restaurant. Bookings are definitely required. Top restaurant! Will definitely be back & will highly recommend!

Very interesting and food options with beautiful flavour combinations.The facilities were disappointing though. The bathroom was not as clean and well maintained as one would expect from a premium dining facility. The floor was sticky, the toilet seat kept on falling down and the hand towel container overflowed with towels all over the floor.With very defined seating times, it should not be impossible to clean out the bathroom between seatings.

Best night out

The whole experience, including the food (of course) was outstanding. One of the elements that stood out was the courtesy paid by the duty manager escorting my wife and I to our Uber vehicle downstairs. Well done, an overall experience to remember!

Excellent small plates menu, highly recommend the peri peri chicken and the fresh fish dishes!

Fantastic service and food, staff were friendly and accommodating (we were 30 mins late for our booking). Would definitely recommend.

Very nice upclass restaurant . The staff very friendly

Wow was lovely!

Awesome restaurant sitting on the top of an old silo. The staff is very friendly and explains every dish. We can recommend the springbok and the smoked beef. The Rest is also very good.

Many things working really well here, but a few things, not at all.The space is open and well put together; the view is incredible. The food concept is perhaps revolutionary for Cape Town but familiar to any metropolitan visitor. The food when it arrives, is good.But the pacing of orders is unbearable. The time between each of the small sharing orders makes everything feel like a waiting game. It will drive you to lose your patience. A singular good experience is marred by the staccato delivery of individual moments of enjoyable dishes.Came as soon as they opened for the day, 12:30 on a Saturday, was one of four tables. Although the restaurant filled up very quickly over the course of 1 hour, our entire lunch took over 1.5 hours skipping desert and any after drinks.Overall, a good foundation for a great experience but the kitchen lacks the discipline of timing to pull the concept off to a satisfactory level.

Maybe a high standard for Cape Town but not one of the best.. very much over rated. 3 courses per person is enough. Desserts are not very good (sorbet came in a warm container, melted in 5 seconds)

Fine cuisine and a lovely view.

The food rocks ! Fantastic views. Gratuity already included in the bill so careful not to tip twice as the waiters dont always give you a heads up . The tachos and sliders are out of this world !

I have to admit food is good. Tasting portion size but not exactly the cheapest when your bill arrives. Packed most of the time hence service might be slow. Not exactly your friendly staff like what I experience in this part of Africa.

Phenomenal food, great starting wine and the Green Curry cocktail was out of this world.

Amazing experience! Beef filet simply perfect!

One of the best restaurants in South Africa. Just be sure to make reservations a couple of months ahead of time. Love the experience every time I go there.

Wow the food was incredible, each dish with a mouth watering burst of flavor. Sundays bottomless bubbles and Bloody Mary special, whats not to love 👌🏼

Fantastic eatery with great views

Amazing food and a friendly fun atmosphere. My favourite meal in South Africa. Would highly recommend.

Incredible food, service and wine selection. Second to none

Awesome food experience. A must visit if you love food.

Small plates, separate vegetarian menu, fantastic drinks and service. Theres a reason reservations are hard to get. One host was a bit rude when I asked to turn our reservation from seven to eight because he had to go down six flights of stairs to get another chair but otherwise a glowing experience.

Great food, wine and service. We opted to sit at the kitchen bar and it was great to watch and engage with the chefs at work. Highly recommend for high quality, super tasty food.

You take a glass elevator up to the top of an old grain silo. The dining room has panoramic views of the Mountain, Bay and City. Each dish is exquisitely plated and prepared. The tapas give a unique dining experience allowing one to taste a variety of different dishes across a range of fine dining genres.There are 2 sitings for an evening, if you dont want to have your dinner possibly cut short then the later sitting is preferable.

Loved the creativity and variety of food. Good vibe

Some of the best food in Cape Town! And the views are amazing!

Great location with a lovely view! Certainly a place you need to visit when in Cape Town! The menu itself is worth mentioning - chose between sour sweet and bitter. You will need to make a reservation if you want to be able to experience this great place.
