Bouchon Wine Bar & Bistro

Bouchon Wine Bar & Bistro A meeting place for like-minded people who love flavoursome, down-to-earth food and are curious about the world of wine.

Situated in the heart of Cape Town’s city centre and set in a charming urban winery, Bouchon Wine Bar & Bistro is a meeting place for like-minded people who love flavoursome, down-to-earth food and are curious about the world of wine. Behind this venture is winemaker Christophe Durand of Dorrance Wines and restaurateur Faisal Khakoo of La Boheme Bistro & Wine Bar and Engruna Eatery, who saw the gap for a sophisticated yet relaxed food and wine experience that compliments the enchanting winery setting. Bouchon’s winelist embraces both local and international gems and is accompanied by a weekly ‘Travel Through Your Glass’ selection which allows you the opportunity to discover and enjoy spectacular wines from around the world by the glass. Complementing the wine offering is a weekly menu that boasts uncomplicated seasonal tapas, a small selection of mouthwatering mains, and scrumptious desserts. Join us for after work drinks, an early dinner with friends, date night, or reserve the exclusive cellar table for your special occasion. If you don’t take life too seriously, you’ll fit right in.

Weekend plans, sorted.
A table at Bouchon, a few plates for the middle, a bottle worth lingering over and nowhere else you need to be.

Tucked away on Hout Street, it’s the kind of place that makes a Friday night stretch a little longer.

“Set within a historic urban w**ery, this intimate cellar oasis brings together a carefully curated w**e list with uncomplicated, flavour-packed tapas and elegant bistro plates designed to pair with whatever is being poured into your glass.”

A lovely little feature from Out and About, capturing exactly what we love about Bouchon. 🍷

Tucked away on Hout Street, we’re here for long evenings, good bottles, plates made for sharing and no real reason to rush home.

End-of-year functions always feel far away, until suddenly they’re next month.

Bouchon offers two considered spaces for private dining - our intimate private dining room for up to 12 guests, and our semi-exclusive w**e cellar for larger gatherings of up to 30.

Thoughtful tapas, excellent South African w**e, and a setting that feels special without trying too hard.

Reserve your space before the calendar gets away from you.

Friday calls for good w**e, a few plates for the table, and the kind of dinner that doesn’t need much explaining.

Simple, delicious, and dangerously easy to say yes to. 🍷

Why choose one when you can have three?

Pick 3 tapas for R350, add a bottle of w**e, and let dinner get a little carried away.

Set inside a charming urban w**ery, w**e is naturally at the heart of Bouchon.

Our w**e list is something we’re especially proud of, celebrating local producers and the incredible w**es grown and made across our region. Pair a bottle with a few plates to share and settle in for the evening.

Some dishes earn their permanent place on the menu.

Our baked Camembert is a Bouchon staple - warm, indulgent, and the kind of tapas plate that tends to disappear rather quickly. Best enjoyed with good bread, an excellent glass of w**e, and perhaps no intention of sharing. 🍷
