The Harveys Bar

The Harvey's Bar, adjoining the restaurant, allows you to enjoy arguably Cape Town's best view - the sun slipping into the Atlantic - while sipping a long cocktail on the terrace. From happy hour to after dinner drinks, Harveys bar awaits you as a prelude or prologue to dinner.

Courtyard

The beautiful colonnaded Courtyard, reminiscent of an Italian piazza, is a tranquil oasis from the pace of city life and the modern face of most Cape Town restaurants today. Encircled by palm trees and fountains, the Courtyard makes the perfect setting for a romantic dinner under the stars.
