Ah Cafe Caprice… It really doesn’t need an introduction, right? I mean the place is a regte Cape Town institution of cool.
Still, it’s not just a prime spot for beautiful people to congregate en masse… the place also serves up some seriously decent food and regularly appears on all the city guides’ ‘best burger’ lists. Today, however, Clouds and I were there on an invitation from Sammy Guinness of Brandnew Marketing to try their new healthy breakfast specials. Still, dragging myself out of bed was a real mission. I’d spent the night before helping a bestie celebrate her ‘getting oldness’ with copious amounts of caramel vodka and was thus a little less than chipper.
Fortunately, each of the new brekkies comes with a free Lavazza coffee!
The first thing I ordered, however, was a Bloody Mary.
This deffo went a long way towards helping to perk me up…
By the time my delish-looking brekkie arrived, however, I felt as right as rain and devoured the whole plate. Check it out:
I like nothing more than popping them with my fork and dipping the toast into the runny yolk…
Clouds opted for pretty much the same things sans salmon (R26 – crazy good value!) and Sammy had her eggs and rye with avocado (R34). They’re also offering cinnamon-toasted oats with nuts and fresh fruit slices and low fat Bulgarian yoghurt (R38). Yum!
According to Cafe Caprice’s Silwood-trained chef, Guy Theunisson, he wanted to created a light, summer menu using the freshest seasonal ingredients.
He also made a point of working with ‘lite’ cooking spray as opposed to oil, so you get all the taste without the nasty side order o’ grease. After all, Caprice is known for it’s smoking hot modelicious regulars… and we don’t want Cape Town’s beautiful people packing on the pounds now do we? Then we’d have nothing gorgeous to look at… aside from the mooiness that is the view:
A big thank you to Cafe Caprice for spoiling us with your fab food and top notch friendly service. I’ll be sure to come back and abuse your brekkie specials once more before it ends on the 31st. I’m also super keen to try your delish-looking burgers. (Sammy says the ‘Bikini’ with creamy avo and peppadews is beyond delish…)
Love, love

Hi Leigh! Is that R26 for two eggs on rye? If so thats really good value. I’d always assumed Caprice would be very expensive and that you’d pay for the view. Going to make a make a plan to try this out for myself. Taryn.
Yip, two eggs on rye with a grilled tomato. I think they come scrambled, but you can opt to have them poached too. On top of this YOU GET A FREE COFFEE! It’s a seriously, seriously good deal! X x x
