Sostanza - Cape Town

Recently visited Lakeside and were told about Sostanza by the owners of the house we stayed at. Got to say that the food and the atmosphere were really bang on. We had dinner one evening and the following day we called in for brunch. On both occasions the food was excellent but the best thing about it was the staff. Everybody who waited on us were polite, courteous and friendly and were a credit to the restaurant. Well done to everyone and thanks for a great experience.

This charming local café offers fantastic cakes and treats. The carrot cake is exceptional, and the chocolate muffins are the best I've ever had. They also serve a delicious breakfast and great coffee. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

The restaurant boasts a great location with both indoor and outdoor seating. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is pleasant and tranquil, making it an ideal spot for working on your laptop.

This is an elegant, tranquil, and stylish restaurant where locals gather or simply relax with their morning newspapers while savoring their favorite brewed coffee and perhaps indulging in a decadent treat from the menu.

I had very good experience in Sostanza; our waiter, Lucas, was friendly, about the different types of bread and very polite. Breakfast was generous and fill My girlfriend couldn't finish her salmon and avocado omelet even though it was so good. I never had beer like us breakfast, but they have a good choice of craft beers, wines and spirits. Overall, it is a beautiful cooled place.
