The Restaurant
95 Keerom
Street, circa 1682, originally housed the stables and slave
quarters of the Company Gardens. Many of the original
elements, including the façade and brick walls, have been
saved in the restoration process. These fascinating
features, combined with the elegant, modern lines of the
décor, contribute to the eclectic atmosphere of the
restaurant.
The upstairs
area is open-plan and modern, setting an extremely glamorous
tone. Alternatively, we have three smaller rooms downstairs
which provide a quieter, more intimate space. In addition to
this, a versatile private dining room can be configured to
cater for up to twelve people - ideal for celebrating
special occasions!
To complete
a spectacular evening, guests of 95 are invited to join us
at Rhodes House next door.
This venue
has been internationally ranked as one of the top ten
nightspots in the world and has established itself as the
playground of the rich and famous. |

95 is open for lunches from
Monday to Friday and for dinners from Monday to Saturday.

The Menu
Taking its origins from authentic Milanese
cuisine, 95 strives
to provide our guests with a glimpse of genuine
Italian food, through the use of the highest
quality local and imported ingredients. The
passionate Executive Chef and owner, Giorgio
Nava, is not a believer in luck and in
short-cuts. He believes in efficiency and
organization and therefore it will not come as a
surprise if his supply of everything fresh is
assured by his own fishing boat and by his own
Karoo farm.
The secret of our fresh-tasting meals is a
result of doing as little as possible to the raw
ingredients, allowing the customer to taste
exactly what they are looking at on the plate –
unpretentious and delicious. From serving only
the freshest seafood, to baking bread twice
daily, 95 promises to deliver only the finest
fare.

Our wine

Italian wines, with a large selection of champagnes and
methode cap classiques.
Over the
years 95 Keerom has been granted extensive press coverage
and has repeatedly featured in the specialised international
and local media, newspapers as well as magazines, collecting
an array of entusiastic reviews, like the following one: |

The New York Times -
Frommer's Review
This urbane restaurant -- modern in the very best sense
(unpretentious and comfortable) -- is proof that the Cape
Town dining scene has come of age. Not only because it feels
good to walk through (intimate spaces downstairs showcase
the building's age with raw brickwork, offset with slate and
glass, and plenty of wood; upstairs an ancient olive tree
serves as organic centerpiece), but because the food is
simple and straightforward, service is excellent, and owner
Giorgio hasn't felt the same compunction to charge high
prices just because he can. It's
affordable glam, and Capetonians love it. The waitstaff is
excellent, and Giorgio visits every table to ensure that the
evening is going as expected.
The menu is extensive, but start with one of the
carpaccio choices and follow with the tuna, cooked "New
York" style with anchovies, capers, olives, and tomatoes
(incidentally, Giorgio has purchased his own boat to ensure
fish is truly fresh). For the more carnivorous, the pork
loin, rolled with spinach and ricotta and served with
mushroom sauce, is a definite hit. |
