Tucked away on Weltevreden Road in Gardens, The Stack offers a charming terrace for al fresco dining, delightful bistro fare, and top-notch cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere.
"Located in the 160-year-old Leinster Hall, The Stack has to be seen to be believed. Its recently refurbished interiors are both outrageous and sublime, with emerald and sapphire walls, a leopard-print couch, and a rainbow of velvet chairs. There’s a beautiful garden out front, a brasserie and bar downstairs, and a private club on the top floor. Dining here feels like you’ve gained entry to a private, Old Cape Town world, but with a modern menu. Standout dishes include the duck rillette and the onion tart with king oyster, shiitake, and shimeji mushrooms."
"Upstairs, the Stack has Cape Town’s colorful take on a members’ club, with chic locals holding meetings amid the antique furnishings and flamboyant patterns. For non-members who can't get beyond the velvet rope though, there’s plenty to savor at the ground-floor brasserie and bar, which are open to the public. From cocktails dreamed up to suit your personality to decadent coq au vin and steak frites it's all designed to make you feel extreme comfort." - Jane Broughton
