I had an amazing time the food was fantastic and the staff were really generous and kind!
A little place and yet very large on taste and service. We had a delightful meal: good food, well prepared and presented. Just great.
Restaurant was lovely and we got to sit in our own private booth. We were even given a free welcome glass of bubbles. The restaurant decor was lovely, food was delicious and presentation was on point.
Unfortunately the wait between starters and mains was 40 minutes, even though we had placed our order all at once.
Would also recommend investing in some other music than just the Weeknd.
everything was perfect. Will visit you again
Thank you very much Klaus, we hope to cook for you again soon.
Great value for money, the food was amazing. Service 👌🏾 We set in the kitchen counter got to see the food being made asked they chefs questions and they were more than eager to answer.

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.
Hi Tamsyn, thank you for taking the time to review us. My apologies for the 40minute wait there must have been a glitch in kitchen and in music that evening. We have a company that does our music selection and I can assure you it should not have been the weeknd all night. We hope to see you again and thank you for your feedback I have already actioned and looked into it.
