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. |

From Muizenberg take the M3 freeway and Eastern Boulevard into
town. Exit Eastern Boulevard into Buitengracht Street and follow
to the top where the road branches into two, follow the left
branch into New Church Street and proceed into Kloof Nek Street.
