Presenting restaurant classics in the most thoughtful way, Blanko offers an intimate dining experience in the heritage building of The Alphen – a provincial heritage monument and lauded example of Cape Dutch architecture. Located on the edge of the Constantia green belt, high ceilings, white table cloths, historical artefacts and a stellar collection of South African art create a sense of prestige and refinement. This is complemented by exceptional hospitality and juxtaposed by bright and modern decor in a gallery-inspired space.

Charming, homely and spoilt for choice! Lovely la Belle serves bistro and bakery classics from breakfast through to dinner – at the Alphen, Constantia, in our rustic, restored Cape farmhouse.

la Belle bistro and bakery is a charming culinary haven combining the warm ambiance of a traditional bistro with the delightful aromas of a freshly baked pastry shop. The perfect year-round eating and meeting place for locals and tourists alike, choose from cosy indoor dining by the fireplace in winter or al fresco eating under the trees in Constantia.
