French classically trained chef, Laurent and his Australian wife, Cyrillia longed for the unpretentiousness of a bistro after years of running fine dining eateries. Whilst one could find classic French dishes such as cassoulet and beef bourguignon on their menu, you will also find many new dishes created with the influences picked up during years in Australia, and now Cape Town. Their signature dish for many years, the braised farmed pigs trotter with seared scallop, is such a dish. It marries a traditional bistro classic with our own authentic style - a modern surf and turf, if you will. Recently ranked best Bistro Restaurant in EAT OUT 2010 Magazine.

The fabulous wine list and rustic French inspired menu are the star attractions. Order charcuterie and cheeses with fresh breads from the deli, or the chef's specials from a blackboard that changes daily. Caveau now boasts a new sushi bar and pasta table. Recently listed in Conde Nast as one of the hot new spots! A big favourite with the locals with an extensive list of wines by the glass.

A fantastic venue to visit for breakfast, brunch or lunch. People queuing to get in, waiting round like seagulls for that next perfect table to open up. The walls are clad with an airborne tea party. Dainty tea pots wrapped in ribbon hang from the ceiling, and doily like place mats add texture to the wall area above the mantelpiece. The menu boasts originality and simple decadence. Every dish is like a work of art; but it's the delicate, balanced flavours for which Manna Epicure is most renowned.

Very elegant bistro, recently relocated to the trendy Gardens area of the city, offering a wide selection of delicious food.
