If you’re a Sea Point resident, or if you walk the Promenade, you will most likely have noticed a new little spot towards the Queens Beach end, at the base of the Peninsula All Suite Hotel, made noticeable by its bright pink art-deco balustrades.

Set to become Cape Town’s definitive seaboard dining and socialising space, Strolla, has joined the iconic cache of establishments lining the Sea Point Promenade and offers hotel guests as well as passers by a place to pop into for light refreshment.

Privately-owned but situated at the Peninsula All Suite Hotel, Strolla brings a fresh, new indoor-outdoor dining energy to the landmark destination with a café,  restaurant, bar and children’s entertainment area. With its beachside minimalism and informal interior design, Strolla – presented by Sotano restaurateur, Brendon Crew – has a casual but elegant character that Crew has become renowned for. “The focus is on delivering simple, well-made food while also serving as a relaxed, comfortable rendezvous for wine or craft beer as people stroll along the Promenade,” says Brendon Crew.

Adorned with scene-setting freestanding umbrellas, the café (open from 7h00) serves continental breakfast and coffee, while the restaurant and bar is open from 11h30-22h00, serving seasonally inspired casual food, along with thin-based Mediterranean styled pizzas and rotisserie chicken.
