The Cape Farmhouse is one of our favorite breakfast spots around the south peninsula. Situated on a large farm at the base of Red Hill, the restaurant is housed in a 250 year-old farmhouse reminiscent of the old days. They serve a farm-style breakfast and a Moroccan-inspired lunch using fresh ingredients from the garden and home-made breads.
On this Cape Town morning, it was warm enough to have our meal on the outside patio. For breakfast, the Three Egg Omelette of the day is usually packed full of yummy ingredients from the garden for R35 (US$3.50). For a lighter meal, order the freshly baked Muffins or Croissants which comes with cream and jam and is really a treat for R18 (US$1.80). They also serve a great cappuccino for R12 (US$1.20). If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Samp and Sweet Potato Rosti, which is a potato casserole with veggies, pine nuts, feta and arugula for R59 (US$5.90). The service is usually quick and friendly.
