We have read a lot about La Mouette, and we finally managed to book and go for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is set in an old Cape building and as it was winter the fires were burning inside, and we had a lovely table by the fireplace. The service was very good from the whole front of house team. Our... More

This year I decided to host my birthday party at La Mouette. I booked up the entire top floor which comfortably sat 30 people. The staff were incredibly attentive and we were so well looked after. They had great fires going in the old fireplaces to dispel the winter chill. The food was absolutely amazing. Chef Henry Vigar presented a... More

A beautiful day in Cape Town calls for a beautiful lunch experience. Where else to do this but the continuously amazing La Mouette. Again the La Mouette team delivered an unforgettable experience. We had the Autumn tasting menu which was truly phenomenal. The service impeccable. The friendliness of the staff like no other. I cannot continue to reiterate if you... More

La Mouette used to be The Europa on Main Road Sea Point. As La Mouette (new owners) it has been getting good reviews amongst us locals. My husband and I went there about 4 months ago to try their summer tasting menu. 7 courses for R385 (about $40). The meal was amazing 0 very inventive, beautiful to look at and... More

We tried the tasting platters with wine, and the food - taste and presentation - was the best I've had in years! The different wines complemented the different dishes beautifully. I would've loved to eat there every day, it was so good. The price was very, very reasonable, our waiter was great, we found parking without too much hassle and... More

Lovely setting and delicious food for good value. Probably the best tasting menu I have ever had. Wish I lived in Cape Town so could go more often!

Awesome restaurant found purely by chance. On the main street in Sea Point. The chef is originally from the UK and trained in France. The garden setting was just lovely (we were there at night) with the central fountain lit up and cushions scattered making a cosy place for sunset drinks. Inside we were seated in the dinning room and... More

This restaurant is situated in SeaPoint. It looks like just a house with the tables set outside. The inside (where we sat) has two rooms and is set out like someones' living room with various tables situated within. The menu ,although not very large, was varied and very interesting. They also offer a 6 course tasting menu which I understand... More

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at La Mouette. The food was absolutely fantastic, the service was great, and the atmosphere was incredible. Of all the restaurants I visited in Cape Town, this was by far my favorite. If you're from out of town, definitely spend an evening here and get away from the tourist-y scene. This... More
