Bottomless mimosas await: your ultimate guide to brunching like a local in Cape Town

Cape Town is the kind of city that knows how to do brunch, think sunshine-filled mornings on vibrant patios, delicious eats, and, of course, a little bubbly to keep things exciting.

While bottomless mimosas might not be as ubiquitous here as in, say, Joburg, there are still plenty of gems around the Mother City that serve up this boozy brunch favourite.

So, whether you’re a local looking to level up your weekends or a holidaymaker seeking a slice of Cape Town’s culinary magic, here’s your ultimate guide to where to sip, savour, and soak up the good vibes.

Kloof Street House

This is a brunch spot with a charming, old-world feel. It’s a favourite for locals and visitors alike, thanks to its lush garden setting and indulgent menu.

Florentin

If you’re craving a Middle Eastern-Mediterranean twist to your brunch, Florentin is the spot. Their menu is a feast for the senses, with dishes like shakshuka, Turkish eggs, and salmon croissants. The bottomless mimosas are R260 per person, and they’re only available when you order a main course, but trust me, the food is worth it.

Clarke's Bar & Dining Room

This place is an institution in Cape Town, known for its all-day diner vibes and bustling weekend brunch scene. While they don’t offer a bottomless mimosa deal, their R35-per-glass mimosa special is still a steal. Pair it with their crowd-pleasers like the Big Breakfast or Huevos Rancheros, and you’ve got yourself a winning combo.

Pair your bubbly with one of their signature pizzas or pastas because carbs and mimosas are a match made in brunch heaven.
