la cuccina

enjoyed a delicious breakfast at la cuccina. the restaurant has a spacious welcoming feel. i enjoyed a dirty chai unfortunately no milk alternatives were available. the eggs benedict with salmon and holaindaise sauce was delicious. the french toast brioche is the best pick for a sweet and exciting breakfast.

i really do love this place. it's got a great ambience, nice and sunny during the afternoons. i usually go for the buffet and am never let down by the selection and the quality of the food. the managers are usually very proactive, always making sure that you're 100% taken care of. try the fish selection, usually outstanding.

great place for a casual sunday brunch. kick back with a complimentary sunday times, top notch coffee and home cooked-style buffet. staff were friendly and management attentive. highly recommended.

update: two years on. food is still great.

the food is incredible and so is the wine. the manager (perhaps owner) is extremely friendly and concerned with the comfort of his patrons. love the atmosphere and vibe of this place. will d finitely come back here the next time i'm in ct.

i had the privilege of being invited to the curry evening that la cuccina which was absolutely phenomenal. the evening was rainy and cold which made it even more perfect. it is a buffet style setting, allowing you to try a variety of foods. the starting plates consisted of various samosas, crumbed mushrooms and naan bread.

the mains were to die for! 6 different curries, too little tummy space. i paced myself through the evening and managed to try each curry. every one delicious and flavorful. my favorite was the lamb curry with the oh so yummy naan bread.

dessert, i have no words. the various cupcakes and treats made the evening.

absolutely love love love this place.

i would starve if it wasn't for la cuccina.
it's pretty much my home kitchen away from home.
always a good energy in the restaurant and the staff are always happy.
if you haven't tried the chocolate mouse cake, you haven't lived!

i love la cuccina, so much so that i regularly drive to hout bay specifically to eat their delicious food.

their breakfasts are great, with a wide choice from their menu as well as a buffet fit for the gods 🙌🏼 their gluten free muesli is the business, as is their rye bread. their lunch options are also amazing, and i end up at the buffet every time despite how yummy their menu sounds!

they have great home-cooked meals that you can take away, so for the lazy cooks out there this is for you. they've also recently launched a curry evening on the last friday of every month which i can't wait to try. love love love la cuccina

la cuccina used to be my favorite café in cape town,the eggs benedict was amazing but in the past year or so the food has lost its quality,the bacon is burnt,the “soft eggs" were rock hard,i could be a lot better,i just wish the quality was still ther

la cuccina provides the perfect space for you to feel super chilled while munching on good, homely, comfort food.

we popped in for sunday lunch and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. the restaurant has a lovely feel to it… all light, airy, open planned and relaxed. the staff are very friendly and helpful. the food (buffet) was fresh & tasty with loads of options. on average they have 20 dishes to choose from (changed daily). all the meals are freshly prepared and each dish sounds as good as the next. the wonderful thing about a buffet is that you can take a little bit of this and a little bit of that to taste as much a possible… the problem with a buffet is – your plate is never really big enough for it all and you end up looking like a piggy

you have to try their cakes… we chose a piece of chocolate tart and a lemon tart and they were absolutely drool worthy. the chocolate tart was rich and the lemon tart was tangy and together they worked perfectly. totally made up a new (soon to be famous) cake combination.

great breakfast . delicious scrambled eggs made with cream. berry appealing juice made from apple, strawberry, lime and mint. good service. disappointing freezo though.

i felt like i was at home having my moms cooking !! la cuccina had such a lovely variety for the buffet lunch and everything was delicious ! i must say however that service was non-existent , which is really a shame as there was more than enough waiting staff but they just weren't very on top of things.

top spot in hout bay for breakfast, lunch or tea. quality coffee, finest food, wifi and great hosts.
