Black Sheep Restaurant

I went to Black Sheep Restaurant with great expectations after reading all of the positive reviews. Upon booking I was told it wouldn't be a problem to accommodate our gluten- and dairy-free requirements. Overall the service was very friendly and the kitchen accommodated us without issue. Sadly, the only dissapointment was the food and for this, I cannot give more than 3 stars. Highly under-seasoned potatoes, overcooked carpenter fish and bland veg. Some spice or zest definitely needed to elevated the dish. My friend's swordfish curry had no curry heat and both of our dishes were lukewarm when they arrived at our table. Otherwise a pleasant experience and they have some good wine options :)

Affluent crowd, high quality food, potentially best in Cape Town. As a tourist from the UK the prices were cheap for me. £120 for a family of five, two courses of high quality food each, including drinks. Head waiter was so attentive to my dairy and gluten allergy and kitchen made something not on the menu for me. Not had this care from a kitchen and front of house staff in South Africa before. Not to be missed. Reservations only, had to book 2 days ahead and zero chance of getting a table if you walk in.
