Cape Point Brings South African Skewers and Soulful Grilling to Central

Tucked into the slopes of Staunton Street, Cape Point is more than just a grill, it is a celebration of South African culture, flavor, and hospitality. This skewer house and dining spot takes inspiration from the traditional braai, South Africa’s iconic barbecue gathering, and brings that same fire-cooked spirit to Central. From the first sizzle on the grill to the last sip of Pinotage, every moment at Cape Point feels like a journey to the southern tip of Africa.

The menu is built around bold spices, soulful cooking, and quality ingredients. It pays tribute to the country’s diverse culinary roots, blending native traditions with colonial influences, all served in a way that feels comforting and new at once. Whether you are digging into a plate of boerewors with chakalaka or trying ostrich for the first time, the experience is both adventurous and deeply grounded in authenticity.

It is not just about the food either. Cape Point’s philosophy of generous hosting and joyful energy is baked into every meal. You are not just a diner here; you are a guest, a friend, part of the table.

Cape Point’s interiors reflect the warmth of a countryside lodge with earthy tones, rustic wooden furniture, and African art adorning the walls. The space hums with upbeat music, casual chatter, and the scent of spices and smoke. There is nothing overly polished or stiff here. Instead, the mood is vibrant, easygoing, and full of heart.

It is a great place to come with friends for a long dinner over skewers and cocktails, or to drop in for a solo meal and a glass of red. The staff know their stuff, especially when it comes to the wine list, and they are always ready with a recommendation or a story behind the dish you are enjoying.

What to Order

Cape Point’s menu focuses on grilled meats and signature South African dishes that showcase the bold flavors of the region:

  • Braai Lamb Rack: Tender, juicy, and seasoned with chermoula, this lamb is flame-grilled and served with a refreshing green salad to balance the richness.
  • Gumbo Shrimps: A standout starter or side, these prawns come tossed in a smoky-spicy blend of peppers, cayenne, and thyme, served with garlic bread to soak up every drop of sauce.
  • Ostrich Steak: Lean, high in protein, and surprisingly tender, the ostrich steak is grilled just right and offers a unique alternative to your usual cuts of beef.

If you have room after the mains, try the Malva Pudding for dessert a sticky, caramel-soaked sponge that pairs perfectly with their South African dessert wine. To round it all out, their beverage list is fully South African. Sip on a crisp Chenin Blanc or one of their specialty cocktails!
