Pepenero Restaurant

Confidently lazing on the edge of Africa, Pepénero is one of the most impressive restaurant locations in the city. Close to the heart of Cape Town, yet right on the Atlantic beachfront, Pepénero is urban glamour with an ocean twist.

But above all, Pepénero is sexy, it’s sultry, it’s formal, it’s laid back - and it’s fun.

Enter a world that is lush, sumptuous and intimately relaxed. Whether you take a private booth or an open table, enjoy a cosmopolitan menu that has an Italian influence and is focussed on seafood with a twist. Listen to the jazz, wander over to the bar, enjoy the full experience. Pepénero is distinguished not only by the vibe, but also by the finer details of understated style and service excellence.

Pepénero, meaning “black pepper”, refers to the spice we add to both the social and culinary scene. Our food is based on variety and simplicity: whether it’s serving the sexy sundowner-set fresh oysters, sushi, champagne and cocktails on the terrace, or treating our lunch and dinner guests to seafood platters, aged rump, pastas and sumptuous salads – rounded off with a range of decadent desserts.

All Pepénero meals can be complimented with wines and champagnes selected from an award winning list – served only in Riedel glassware and served only to perfection.

Private Function
It's actually difficult to imagine a better venue for a special celebration - where a host of different tastes and budgets can be accommodated. From fresh sushi and succulent seafood to simple (but delicious) pastas or a burger, Pepenero is a hit in anyone's language. Pepenero caters for all corporate and private functions and have a range of amazing set menus to choose from.

And the extensive wine and drinks list satisfies all pockets and palates - boasting an impressive array of vintage champagnes and exotic spirits at the upper end of the spectrum.
