The Long Street Café will no doubt, in years to come, end up being
just as famous as Cranford’s Book Shop which was once located in
the gracious building now occupied by the Café. Long Street is a
living memorial to the history of Cape Town and no visit to Cape
Town is complete without a leisurely stroll along the length of
this famous street which offers visitors a glimpse of our
Victorian past, and the chance to browse through the old bookshops
which say much about the character of the street. |
Having carefully preserved the impressive façade with its timber
frames and art-deco style windows, the Long Street Café has fitted
perfectly into the old fashioned ambience that is clearly evident
in this famous street. The Café is home from home for many locals
whether they are enjoying a leisurely breakfast, business lunch,
or one of the many exotic cocktails on offer including the popular
Long Street Iced Tea. The cosmopolitan clientele includes plenty
of tourists, who mix comfortably with actors, artists, lawyers and
politicians, and Wednesday evenings are a must for those who want
to enjoy a fun filled evening of karaoke. |
The bistro style menu caters for all tastes throughout the day
with a selection of breakfast dishes, plenty of salads and
sandwiches for a light lunch, and more substantial fare for the
evenings. Starter recommendations include the Phyllo Fingers -
filled with feta cheese, deep fried and served with a sweet and
sour sauce, and juicy Pork Ribs marinated in a honey, rosemary
barbeque sauce. Choose from a vast selection of deli items to make
your own gourmet pizza with everything from roasted peppers to
salami. Main course recommendations (for those who like spicy
dishes) include Thai style Chicken Wraps served with a peanut
sauce and Chicken Strips cooked in a creamy chilli and Thai curry
sauce. Save room for a delicious dessert such as the Baked
Cheesecake or sinful Choc Mud Pie. |
