Established in 2000ad Rafiki's Cafè has long been at the hearts of
most Capetonians looking for a relaxed, unassuming venue to meet
friends and make new ones. The heart of the business has always been
its people, both staff and patrons. From humble beginnings the
business has grown from initially being a private supper club to what
it is today..... a busy bar restaurant. There's no single salient
thing that brings people to the venue and keeps them there. Perhaps it
is the beautiful views from the 35m long sunny balcony, or the groups
of colourful people adorning it, or the full scrumptious menu, or the
staff, or the huge open fire place (cold nights). Whatever it is, all
will tell you that a quick "pop in" often turns into an "all nighter."
The menu consists of easy going food. Their Pizzas are without doubt
top contenders for the best in Cape Town prize (should there be one).
The menu also sports killer hamburgers, salads and so on. Look out for
the Prawn special, starts at noon, but get there early, it ends at
3pm. R42.50 gets you a mountain (500g) of Mozambican SSS prawns! You
won’t find that deal anywhere! |
Get in touch to keep in the loop of what might be spinning on the
balcony, including DJ’s and live bands may be playing - they have some
of the best the country has to offer. The venue is perfectly suited to
intimate sessions and is sure to please all live music fans as well as
art lovers. There is a host of always changing artwork on the walls
and crafts that find their way through the door.
Rafiki’s being quite central, is within a short walk from almost
everything in the city bowl area. On one of the main roads to Camps
Bay/Table Mountain it is an irresistible stop going to or coming from
the beach. Reservations can be a little more difficult as they believe
in "first come first serve" but they do take bookings. They’re happy
to host birthdays, team building and corporate events, going away
bashes or wrap parties. Don’t forget 10% gratuity is added to all
bookings. |
The ever evolving Rafikis now offers a big screen and function area,
inside and on the balcony.
The owner, Miki’s, mission in life was to create a venue unlike
anything Cape Town had to offer. Most of which being trendy night
spots with dress codes and intimidating bouncers. Although he would
happily admit Rafiki’s is not "trendy" you would be mistaken in
thinking that the place and its patrons don’t have style. Quite the
opposite. What you will find are loads of people who came to have a
great time without pretences. Straight off the beach, from work, from
the airport or from home, all are welcome to come as they feel most
comfortable. Whether you started your evening at Rafiki’s or ended it,
you are certainly going to find yourself back there before long. One
things for sure, a more Capetonian place you won’t find. |
