went in for a quick bite and service was little slow. The portions were smaller than normal so ordered a second one to get full but overall was fine.

The restaurant has both indoor (modern white/black decor) and outdoor seating. As it was a beautiful night, we decided to sit outdoors and enjoy a background of live music (the restaurant next door, The Africa Cafe, happened to have a band playing that night). Bizerca's outdoor seating is in the courtyard center of the historical Heritage Square, so we dined... More

We turned up an hour and a half late, as we got delayed and then a bit lost. Given that the restaurant was full, we didn't hold out much hope of getting a table, but the manager/owner was really accommodating and helpful, saying that they'd held the table for us and the only problem was that the kitchen was closing...

I was lucky enough to eat at Bizerca 3 times between December 2012 and March this year. Tragically for me, my last visit was over 2 years ago before I left the city to live in the Winelands. The new venue on Heritage Square is much more suited to the character of both the food and the proprietors. It beautiful... More

Trendy, simple, chic, décontracté (relaxed) and absolutely stunning cuisine. I was blown away by the creative audacity of the flavors and sophisticated contrast of the heritage ambiance.

We ate here in March. Whoever runs the kitchen certainly knows a thing or two about food. Our meals were faultless and nothing short of superb. Based on food only I would give Bizerca a very strong 5/5 but sadly the service really lets it down and for this reason I give it 3/5. If I was able to give... More

Some local friends took us here and i am glad they did since it isn't the sort of place we might have chosen otherwise. It looks a little on the stuffy side but is in fact a very cool operation with great food, wonderful wine and delightful service. I ate impala for the first time and it was memorable -... More

Bizerca was our first lunch in Cape Town and we were not disappointed. Their menu is fit for foodies with farm to table type creations. I believe their menu changes daily. The service was good, the wine list was notable with lots of good local wines to choose from and the ambiance was funky and interesting. I would definitely recommend... More

The best meal I have had in Cape Town in the last 4 years was at Bizerca – so it had a great memory to live up to, as I gaily pirouetted in with the girls for a birthday supper. It has a very trendy minimal vibe with lots of stone walls and vertical greenery to add interest; and a... More
