The food was delicious and for a four course meal the portions are more than generous. The staff were lovely and attentive. My only negative comment is the no tipping policy as we would’ve like to have shown our appreciation for the service.
Will definitely be back!!

Read full reviewOur experience at Pillcrow and Cleaver was outstanding. The food was delicious - so much attention was paid to the detail in every dish. The service was excellent as the staff were so attentive, always making sure that we were enjoying ourselves and that we had everything we needed. Andisile, the chef, was very friendly and helpful, as were the rest of the staff. Howard was most welcoming when we arrived. And so was the young gentleman who brought our "surprise treat" with the welcome cocktails. All round, a wonderful experience, and highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a great evening with delicious food.

We invite you to smell and anticipate modern European daily inspired menus of small plates, mains and desserts.

Browse our retail shelf’s homemade delicacies and contemplate a recipe in our bespoke cookbook collection. Or talk to us as we prepare homemade flavours right in front of you. We are pet-friendly, follow the no-tipping movement, the first restaurant in Cape Town to serve Father Coffee and during the COVID-19 lockdown we are still open for business.
Hi, I'm Chef Judi
And welcome to Pilcrow & Cleaver, a new paragraph with a different twist, something that I have dreamt about and cooked into realisation for the last 15 years.
The passion for food started to pulsate through my veins from a very young age and for the last decade I have been on a culinary journey of exploration around the world. My travels have inspired me to find new dishes, experience unique flavours and taste different food to bring it all together and share it with you from my kitchen at Pilcrow & Cleaver, right here, in the vibrant heart of Cape Town.
Food is an experiment-experience that evokes emotion. It is not perfection, it’s about expression. Cooking is an art, and the kitchen is my canvas and I want you to join me as a create dishes with a modern flair; highlighting the different unique flavours of each and every ingredient.
Let’s eat.
