Great little café with super delicious chocolate, which is also perfect as a souvenir! The brownies, also gluten-free, are very good.

Hannah Altmann

Mouth-watering food and SO many gluten free options!

Lindiwe Freeth

This place has a wide variety of yummy vegetarian and gluten-free options! And the best service! Our server was Leon. Good value for money.

Barbara Nussbaum

Truly healthy food in a spacious environment. I appreciate the very healthy options one can order, including gluten free bread.

Kristel Eberson

Gluten free no problem, affordable and very nice staff!!!

Ian Smith

Gluten-free muffins are amazing. Wasn't expecting that. Coffee also very good.

Emetia

Amazing! Anyone who is Gluten-free...this is a MUST GO!

Jo Richings

Wow, what a find! The food was incredible! So tasty. 😋 I had the bun Jovi burger wrap and was the best vegan & gluten free wrap I’ve ever had! (I choose from the vegan menu which was mostly gluten free and my partner had the chicken pesto wrap from the flexitarian menu) Our waiter was lovely too. Highly recommended!

I'm celiac, so I can't eat gluten at all. At the menu there are some dishes marked as gluten free, but always double check with the kitchen / waitress if it's 100% save. We went there two times and I always had the fish. It's delicious and I didn't had any problems. So totally recommend this place.

This was our favorite restaurant in all of Southern Africa! My husband and I ordered almost every entree on the vegan menu (11 dishes), including their 3 course set menu with 3 sides (we're foodies!). Every single one was delicious and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. My favorite was the Defin Misir Alicha - a brown lentil dish. I am going to try to find a recipe to make it back home in America! My husband raved about every dish that was seasoned with Berbere. He ordered a cocktail (the Spice Ethiopian Tosgne) which he still talks about because it was so good (and he's very picky about his cocktails, since he's an unofficial expert mixologist). The service was exceptional. Our waiter (Linga?) was friendly and cheerful, prompt, personable, and respectful. The brief interactions we had with other waiters (and I think the owner) were all remarkably friendly. Our courses felt perfectly timed - neither rushed nor tardy. Our waiter even noticed that after the sun set, there were some mosquitoes near our outdoor table (we hadn't noticed) and was thoughtful enough to bring out some burning frankincense to repel them. It worked and smelled great! Everything looked and felt clean. The tables, chairs, plates, and decor all crafted an atmosphere that felt authentic, pleasant, and not overdone. They had so many options that we'd be comfortable bringing people there with all kinds of different needs - people who don't like spice or love spice, vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy-free, whatever. It's very accommodating.

Food was good. Dessert was fantastic! Server at first didn't understand my allergy (celiac disease). Almost lost all confidence, but then the chef came out and immediately felt safe to eat here. He basically could alter half the menu for me. Had Nacho's which were okay. However the dessert was amazeballs! Would go back there. Also, no allergic reaction! :)

Laure Guery

gluten free option

Talia Greenberg

Very nice gluten-free pizza! The small details of the look of the restaurant could get some more attention

My first visit to this lovely little gem of a place. Large window view on Table Mountain! The atmosphere is cozy and low key. Loved the gluten-free options on the menu! Great coffee. We had the Turkish Eggs and Shashuka for brunch, both great options. Finished with some gluten-free sweets from the display - yum.. Our waiter was really friendly and attentive. Will be back!

Carl King

Eclectic! Great food and bakes cooked on the premises - you can see them baking. Amazing industrial chic mixed with mysterious but classy junk shop vibes - can easily get lost (figuratively) just wandering around an absolute gem and the coffee is pretty good. Excellent gluten free bread.

Ricarda Miller

Had a really nice glutenfree pizza there for lunch. Got served super fast. Our waiter Lucy was amazing with my toddler and he got his own pizza dough to make his own pizza bread, which they then baked for him. Can recommend 100%. Thaaaaanks !

David Adams

Stop most food and drink options at 3 pm and staff are generally unhelpful or unable to assist. The closing time of 430 pm is misleading as if you arrive at 4 pm most things are packed away. Prices are very high for what you get. During lunch it takes a long time to order and receive your food so if you have less than an hour it is better to go somewhere else. Having said that they offer a large variety of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian foods especially many sweet options/smoothies which are difficult to find at other restaurants. They have convenient parking which is provided free for Nourished customers and is leased by the restaurant (although the attendant looks belligerent and tries to imply that he owns the lot and should be paid for time spent in the nourished parking.) I would prefer a car guard.

Laurence Chaplin

Just stopped for brunch and sat at the bar overlooking Camps Bay. Lovely location and views, matched by great service and super tasty food. The breakfast bap was delicious and the gluten free options are excellent. Bathrooms are spotlessly clean, too. Highly recommend.

Nonya Bisnus

We had a lovely time. Thankful for yummy gluten free and vegetarian options.

Sonette Schultz

We had take out pizza. The waiting time was quick although they were very busy. I was impressed with the gluten free pizza base and the amount of toppings.

Matthias B

As always in South Africa, very friendly and courteous staff. Very tasty food, gluten-free as well as “normal”. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Nicolett Holst

We were 4 diners. My daughter has Celiac disease so we specifically went to Maria’s because they advertised gluten free food. The food was amazingly good! But the manager was rude and abrasive, very dismissive when we asked for assurance that the food was prepared separately. When we got our starters, her gluten free starter was placed next to pita bread that was NOT gluten free, thus contaminating her food. When we pointed this out to the manager, he simply shrugged and left. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And also apologetic about another table that was very loud, causing us to not stay for dessert because the noise level was simply too high! The only down side about the food was the baklava fingers we ordered as take away. They were vile! Tasted only of cinnamon. I’m Greek so I know how they should taste. Very disappointing dessert, don’t order that!

Marcio Ohta

Great apple crumble and almond lemon gluten free cake

Megan Payne

Great gluten and lactose free options. Always good service, great atmosphere and enjoyable food and drinks.

Stephanie Allen

Before I was diagnosed as a celiac I loved eating here. They have always had great quality, delicious food. I stopped for a few years because they didn't have good gluten free options. Today I had a toasted gluten-free sandwich and it was amazing. Really happy they have made such a big effort to cater to those of us with food allergies and intolerances. I'll definitely be back.

Hila Shmueli

We came to them because it was written on the menu that there were gluten-free dishes. When we arrived for breakfast they said that the gluten free dishes are pizza and pasta and they are not served because there is a breakfast menu. We took an omelette that was really satisfying. The coffee was good, the chocolate was not.. more delicious than chocolate.

Amourelle Isaacs

We were served by Sue Ann who was absolutely great! She was very attentive, knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and could advise me on a better option. Thank you!

Dianne Blumberg

Not wheelchair friendly. Lovely staff. Cater for gluten free. Very rustic.

Eyal Frank

The dinner was excellent! They were very considerate and served us very tasty dishes with our gluten-free and diabetics / low carb restrictions... so we came again the next day for another excellent dinner! Service from all levels is very good, attentive, and professional. Will definitely come again if in the area.

Anne Lloyd

Efficient waitrons, nice setting & best of all, gluten free options

Nicole Hardie

Nice little coffee shop with vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. Relaxing atmosphere under the trees outside.

Nonya Bisnus

Great gluten free crepes

Eddie van der Walt

tasty pizza! + gluten-free base option

Amber Luff

Super delicious toasted sandwiches. They have gluten free bread which was also really good and didnt make you miss actual bread like some GF seed loaves make you feel. I also recommend the hot chocolate!

Ruslan Жолжақсынов

I absolutely loved the Gluten-Free Classic Falafel Wrap. So fresh and flavorful. The Peanut Butter Cup was the perfect treat, rich and indulgent. Healthy, delicious, and made with care. Highly recommend it! 💛

Cathryn Le Roux

This was our 4th experience here. We love the speakeasy, casual atmosphere in a beautifully decorated space. The food is also amazing, we often opt to share several Tapas style dishes which gives us a delightful dining experience. Personal favourites are the Pork Belly, Chicken Skewers & Paella. Their pizzas are great too and I love that they offer Gluten free bases. Overall a great experience with friendly and attentive staff. We drive from Mossel Bay to enjoy this restaurant.

Justin Paul

Great gluten free pizza. Very friendly staff.

Swantje Fischer

We had lunch here on the recommendation of a local. Unfortunately, the audacity of others won out when it came to allocating tables, but in the end we also got a table with a great view. The gluten-free wrap with extra salmon tasted and looked excellent and was very filling. Nevertheless, a dessert couldn't be missing from the selection, which excited me even more. Ultimately, too much was deducted from the bill, but we didn't complain about this because of the good food.

Ed Flower

Both service and food were amazing. Option of both fresh fish platter or sushi. If you opt for fresh fish, the waiter helps you choose and walks you through all the options step by step. Sushi is prepared in front of you and the chefs a great to engage with. The team also helped with allergies, making gluten free versions. Front of house manager was also extremely welcoming and friendly on arrival and throughout. Was our most expensive meal in South Africa, but well worth the money (and still far cheaper than the UK).

Antoine Fourié

Good food. Gluten-free options. A bit pricey

Charlie Noble

Probably the best meal we had in Capetown, really really tasty food in a fun format. They catered for my girlfriends gluten free diet (coeliac Disease) really well, all of the curries are already gluten free but when you tell them about your gluten free diet they make the breads and pakoras out of a different flour. Staff were very attentive and the drinks were good. It is loud and bustling but that’s what I liked about the place.

Roisin Maguire

One of the best meals I've had in Capetown. Fantastic food and brilliant service. They cater for gluten free too. Highly recommend!

Sophia Lauren

Lovely sushi gluten free soy sauce and made the fish platter gf

Hannelie Le Grange

Lamb shank was absolutely delicious!! Pizzas also great and have gluten free and vegan options. Hidden gem in Crags

Anna Maria Loffredo

Delicious authentic and above that all especially gluten-free noodles! And I loved that they don’t save on peanuts - healthy way to have quick lunch or dinner after a sunny day! #tofulovers here we go!

Moritz Gerlach

We were there with the family and felt very comfortable. Although we had only reserved a table from 2 p.m., we were able to sit down from 1:30 p.m., which was arranged very professionally. Our drinks were there afterwards and we could toast. Unfortunately, the order was a bit long because there was a person with gluten intolerance with us and it wasn't entirely clear at first which dishes would be okay for you and which wouldn't. This isn't a bad thing in the first place, but it can be improved in the future. It's also about suggestions for improvement 😉 Finally, the food unfortunately only arrived after 50 minutes, but this was improved by the excellent quality and taste. Overall, very, very tasty and a recommendation for anyone who comes by. Best regards Moritz

Louise Deane

Lovely music playing, good selection of drinks, gluten free pasta and pizza bases available 😋 Lubis gave us incredible service throughout the time we were here, very welcoming and helpful with our dietary requirements. Definitely will come back and would definitely recommend to others.
