A Fantastic Culinary Evening – Absolutely Recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our visit to the Black Sheep Restaurant was a complete success! We found this place through Google and decided to stop by spontaneously. Even though no regular table was available, we were warmly welcomed and seated at the bar. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very vibrant and convivial, which we generally like. However, it's good to be prepared for a lively and loud ambiance, as the sound does carry in the stylish space. The bar stools might not be the ultimate comfort for a very long stay, but this minor point did not detract from our overall wonderful experience. The staff was consistently exceptionally friendly, attentive, and polite – truly pleasant service! But the absolute highlight was the food. Words almost aren't necessary – one look at the photos from other Google users says more than a thousand words. It was simply perfect all around and deserves a full 5 stars! A special thank you goes to the chef and the entire kitchen team. Without this outstanding culinary skill, the place would not be what it is. Warm regards and thank you for a memorable evening Hands down best restaurant we've been to in SA. Impeccable service and fabulous dishes. We went twice what we normally never do. Loved each time and we had the opportunity to taste many dishes. So sad we have to return to our home country. Best to make reservations since even in low season it can become pretty crowded. The food was comforting, refined, an un-pretentious. We ordered a combination of meat-based dishes and vegetarian and all were outstanding. If we had had another night in Cape Town, we would have returned. It is definitely worth a visit and make sure you book in advance.

The food was so good we came here twice. I would definitely recommend the kudu steak because it is really well cooked, and the garnish and citric sauce really complement the meat. The tuna was also great as well as the sides and desserts. Would highly recommend this place and you should book during peak hours as it is popular

Creative combinations with good ingredients. Bold flavour profiles with attention to textures and balance. A great many dishes catering to vegetarian palates and they’re all delicious - my favourite being the cauliflower starter.
