Walking into this cosy nook you are greeted by friendly staff offering old-school hospitality and wholesome food. It’s quaint, cosy and unforgettable… all you need to do is try their food once and you’ll be coming back for more soon after. Table 13 at many restaurants doesn’t exist and it’s a long known myth that’s it bad luck to have this number in your establishment, with many restaurateurs jumping ahead to 14. However, this eatery is giving superstition the boot and whipping up delicious meals for Green Point locals. Owners Claudio and Leanka wanted to create a restaurant that was personal while still offering food you could eat day in and day out.
Young professionals working in the area can pop in for Deluxe coffee made using a vintage Italian Crema Caffe machine, and either pair it with a delicious breakfast (served all day) or a light lunch. Whether it’s for a business meeting or a casual lunch with friends, the restaurant offers an informal setting with seating that makes conversation much easier. Take a window seat and watch the bustle on the streets while sipping on a cappuccino or read the newspaper and tuck into their onion and tomato Portuguese roll toastie, served with sweet potato fries.
If you haven’t visited them before we suggest popping in between 11h00 to 15h00 and taking your pick from their array of scrumptious lunch items such as chicken pie or gourmet pizza. The eatery also offers the option of creating your own meal – be it pizza, an omelette or a sarmie, their fresh ingredients add the perfect gourmet touch. All their food is homemade, even their breads, which give the entire restaurant an authentic and wholesome feel.
If you are wanting to satisfy your sweet tooth they are renowned in Cape Town for their decadent chocolate brownies and ‘healthy’ carrot cake. Don’t forget to take home a couple of their freshly baked biscuits to get you through a long day in the office. And if you’re hosting a party, Table Thirteen offers trays of assorted light snacks for your event.
Now that we’ve tantalised your taste buds, you’ll need to find this Green Point eatery and try it out for yourself.
