Societi is a neighbourhood “local”. A sanctuary for Capetonians and visitors looking for a home from home. More than cuisine – it's a way of life – taking time to savour a meal and enjoy the company of family and friends.

“We love it! Its an extension of our home”, is how Tammy and Peter have always described their restaurants. The heart and soul of Societi remains its menu – adapted seasonally with executive chef Stéfan Marais at the helm – proving his love for seasonal produce, accessible food and offering exceptional value. Simply put: Societi creates memories!

Restoring an old Georgian-style home in Cape Town”s Orange Street has inspired creativity and the process seems to have been infectious.

They have launched many new initiatives since we have taken up residence in Gardens, such as Kitchen UNconfidential (a chef”s course) and the popular Chef”s Table in the House Kitchen.

What a fantastic evening. The food was great and the service faultless. The wine list is interesting and best of all, not over priced! Can't wait to go back!

My partner and I had a wonderful romantic dinner at Society Bistro. The service was outstanding and the food was superb. The highlight of our meal was the baked cheesecake for dessert, well worth it!

please staff at societi bisto,do not rush your customers who want to enjoy a leisurely glass of wine before ordering. Also, make sure you rinse the spinach properly before steaming it was extremely gritty. All in all, quite disappointing

I have heard about Societi Bistro and we made a special trip to have dinner with another couple. I liked the compact menu with a good variety of options for diners will sorts of tastes and the wine offering. The restaurant is quaint with lots of character! I had the sirloin with fries and salad and sadly found it to be unexciting. Perhaps I should have tried something else but was disappointed as held a high expectation after only hearing good things. Finished meal with creme brule which wasnt bad but not the best Ive tasted. The sugar topping tasted burnt. The jury hasnt decided on this establishment yet - perhaps we need to give it another go.

My partner and I arrived without a booking at this popular establishment at 19h30 on a Friday and, although it was visibly buzzing, we were ushered without the usual recriminations to a table situated in the service passage between the kitchen and the restaurant proper. While one was exposed to a fair amount of waiterly toing and froing in this area, it did not effect the quality of the service (Craig was well up on the specials of the day and had only infrequently to consult his script) or the joy of a wondrous reunion with that most special of dishes, the mushroom risotto. This, dispatched with a good few glasses of Thelema, Bordeaux style (expect for the shiraz), red left one sufficiently fortified for the Thank You For the Music presentation by Emile Minnie and Gerald Someone-or-Other we attended at the Labia on Orange shortly afterwards. Well done to management and staff for maintaining unstuffy good service and excellent fare.

Delicious winter menu! Not only was food delightful, service was sparkling... when I asked about another type of red wine, the waitress brought over 5 different types for me to try. That is service. Will definitely return!

Me and three friends went for dinner here on Saturday. Four of the best steaks we've ever had. We all were super impressed by the outstanding quality of food and service. Will be back very soon.
