Kloof Street House sits in a Victorian house at the foot of Kloof Street, behind a garden strung with lights. It is less one room than a collection of them: dining rooms under pressed ceilings, a suitcase-stacked bar, and tables under the trees outside. Live jazz over Sunday lunch, candlelit dinners, cocktails in the garden. The kitchen runs until midnight. Reservations are handled as requests rather than instant bookings: the restaurant replies within 24 hours to confirm or offer an alternative, same-day dinner bookings go by phone after five, and a reservationist calls on the day to reconfirm.
