BLOOM Restaurant — Restaurant in Somerset West

Unfortunately such a disappointment. Firstly, they falsely advertise their 3 course menu as a 7 course menu. We have been at some of the best fine dining restaurants in Cape Town and never have those restaurants included the bread, amuse-bouche, palette cleanser and petite fours as "courses" in the menu. So, you basically eat a 3 course meal with the portion sizes being that of a 7 course menu and smaller.

The main course was such a disappointment. The steak we were served was the smallest portion size I had ever seen in a fine-dining restaurant and the prawns dish consisted of a SINGLE prawn and NO other meat. Extremely small. This was the first time that I left a fine dining experience still feeling hungry.

The atmosphere was also disastrous. The music was a mix of house music and pop music. Not what you expect to hear when you pay so much for a meal and a 'fancy' evening out.

The staff were very friendly though and the food really tasted very good but definitely such a rip off and wouldn't recommend...

We celebrated our anniversary at Stefan’s Place and couldn’t have chosen a more perfect spot. The ambiance was intimate and elegant, setting the stage for a truly special evening. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and well cared for.

The food was exceptional, each dish beautifully plated and full of depth and flavor. It was clear that a lot of thought and creativity goes into every element of the menu. A real treat for the senses!

What truly elevated the evening was the caring and friendly staff. Their attentiveness and warmth added a personal touch that made our celebration feel even more meaningful. They went out of their way to ensure everything was just right, and we appreciated every thoughtful gesture.

Stefan’s Place is a fine dining experience worth savoring, especially for life’s special moments. Highly recommended for anyone looking to celebrate in style...

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Stefan's Restaurant and I can confidently say it was a remarkable experience. Opting for the 10-course menu, every aspect of the meal was sheer perfection. From the impeccable service to the charming setting, it was a night to remember. The unique touch of having each course presented on handmade clay plates crafted by Chef Stefan himself or interesting natural elements added a special flair.

Among the standout dishes, the Foie Gras Rock served with the bread course was yum, and the banoffee cracker was a sweet revelation. Chef Stefan's culinary artistry is second to none. This restaurant truly deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. Well done, Chef Stefan! You are unquestionably at the top...
