Eat at The Sorrows and find true happiness in ‘unhappy hour’

Contrary to how it sounds, The Sorrows is a joyous restaurant! The Sorrows was established by Daniel Holland (Yours Truly) and James Louw, a carpenter turned international shop fitting company and bar owner. James said, “I’ve always wanted my own bar, and when I realised that I was building everyone else’s bars and then spending my money in everyone else’s bars it made sense to open my own place. My passion for woodworking has allowed me to do that.”

The design and decor are immaculate. French oak and white marble are paired with the colour palette of a stormy sea – bruised blue and moody grey, for a stunning finish. The roman columns and sculptures throughout the space are hand-painted and a massive model ship overlooks the restaurant entrance from the boutique hotel.

The chef, Shayne Schutte, has worked around the world and was most recently private chef to South African retail billionaire Christo Wiese. The Sorrows team plan to switch up the menu regularly, and have an arrangement with the boutique hotel upstairs to keep the kitchen bustling by providing their breakfast service.

Speaking of food, you should keep these specials in mind when planning to eat out:
