Description

Alright, let me tell you about this hidden gem called Ou Meul Oranjezicht in Cape Town. It’s situated on the corner of Upper Orange and Montrose Ave, right in the heart of Oranjezicht. You know, the kind of place that almost whispers, “Come grab a bite!” yet also “Stay awhile and soak it all in.”

So, I first stumbled upon this charming restaurant while wandering through the neighborhood. With buzzing energy, it’s got that cozy vibe, a perfect chill spot for catching up with friends or just sipping on a great cup of coffee. Speaking of coffee, they team up with Bootlegger Coffee Company, and let me tell you—their brews are seriously top-notch.

Now, the menu? Oh boy! From puff pastry pies that make your taste buds do a happy dance to sourdough bread that practically melts in your mouth, there’s a lot to love. A nice mix of free-range chicken and eggs, too. I mean, if you’re into fresh, local eats, this is where it’s at.

But hey, here’s the kicker—service can be a bit of a rollercoaster. I heard from a pal that their waiter was fantastic, and others had some, let’s say, less-than-stellar experiences. It’s like the restaurant’s kitchen is a bit like life—some days you hit the jackpot, and some days… not so much. Funny how that works, right?

There’s outdoor seating too, which is lovely if you fancy dining al fresco. But don’t forget the traffic noise. I overheard complaints about it being annoyingly loud at times, kind of like your neighbor’s overly enthusiastic karaoke.

But despite the chaos outside, when the food arrives? That’s when the magic happens. I’m talking about beautifully presented plates, like a work of art, and honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of art with their meal? Plus, they’ve got a delightful selection of treats you can snag for a little gift—or just for yourself because, why not?

So, if you’re ever in the area and feel a bit peckish, Ou Meul Oranjezicht is a solid choice. Just be ready for a mixed bag of experiences and a nice meal that could just become your new favorite haunt!
