Local tip
The spectacular 6 course tasting menu changes monthly and offers the best value for money for the most spectacular tasting menu in the city. Pair it with their recommended wines for an even more unique dining experience.

La Mouette, now one of Sea Point's most popular restaurants, opened its doors in 2010, and since then has attracted a large loyal following of foodies from around Cape Town. The grand Tudor-style house, once home to the Mayor of Cape Town, serves as the perfect setting to indulge in some of the Cape's most delectable food.

With its 5 fireplaces, 3 dining rooms, magnificent cobblestoned courtyard and Koi-filled fountain, La Mouette is elegant, spacious and has an impressive 150 person seating capacity. The team behind La Mouette, London Chef Henry Vigar, and South African entrepreneurs Gerrit Bruwer and Mari Vermaak, are all highly experienced and always on hand to chat to patrons and ensure that everything is running to absolute perfection.

Henry has worked in a number of Michelin starred establishments in the UK, Australia and France and brings to La Mouette a wealth of experience. He is committed to using only local suppliers for his ingredients and personally inspects and samples everything himself to ensure absolute quality. Henry has a particular passion for creating unique desserts and his signature after dinner delight is the ‘Gin and tonic’ - a combination of tonic jelly, juniper berry syrup and lime zest ice cream, which can't be missed

The menu offers patrons modern French cuisine with an international influence, and is complimented by top South African wines. In recent months, their 2 for 1 tasting menu special has offered some of the best fine dining prices in Cape Town, which allows you to sample a wide range of Henry's favourite dishes.
