The Long Street Café will no doubt, in years to come, end up being
just as famous as Cranford’s Book Shop which was once located in the
gracious building now occupied by the Café. Long Street is a living
memorial to the history of Cape Town and no visit to Cape Town is
complete without a leisurely stroll along the length of this famous
street which offers visitors a glimpse of our Victorian past, and the
chance to browse through the old bookshops which say much about the
character of the street. |
Having carefully preserved the impressive façade with its timber
frames and art-deco style windows, the Long Street Café has fitted
perfectly into the old fashioned ambience that is clearly evident in
this famous street. The Café is home from home for many locals whether
they are enjoying a leisurely breakfast, business lunch, or one of the
many exotic cocktails on offer including the popular Long Street Iced
Tea. The cosmopolitan clientele includes plenty of tourists, who mix
comfortably with actors, artists, lawyers and politicians, and
Wednesday evenings are a must for those who want to enjoy a fun filled
evening of karaoke. |
The bistro style menu caters for all tastes throughout the day with a
selection of breakfast dishes, plenty of salads and sandwiches for a
light lunch, and more substantial fare for the evenings. Starter
recommendations include the Phyllo Fingers - filled with feta cheese,
deep fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce, and juicy Pork Ribs
marinated in a honey, rosemary barbeque sauce. Choose from a vast
selection of deli items to make your own gourmet pizza with everything
from roasted peppers to salami. Main course recommendations (for those
who like spicy dishes) include Thai style Chicken Wraps served with a
peanut sauce and Chicken Strips cooked in a creamy chilli and Thai
curry sauce. Save room for a delicious dessert such as the Baked
Cheesecake or sinful Choc Mud Pie. |
