about Arnold's on Kloof


Arnold's has won more friends than any other restaurant in Cape Town and enjoyed wide acclaim for its stunning breakfast. Founded in 1998 and located opposite the historic Mount Nelson Hotel, on Kloof Street, Arnold's has an outdoor, seated area with magnificent views of Table Mountain as well as a warm, well-lighted and romantic dining area.

On weekends, Arnold's arguably saves more lives than hospitals, serving good value and cheerful breakfasts from early in the morning until 5pm. At Arnold's nothing is a problem, just don't run away without paying the bill. Just pulling your leg.

Since November 2008, chef Fiki has consolidated the Arnold's menu and continues to create consistently good food.

Fantastic lunch specials are served from 11am and there are always interesting dinner specials. Off the a la carte menu, the Fillet Steak on Mushroom and the Game Platter are signature dishes.

There is also a nice variety of game dishes, with shadows of Ernest Hemingway himself to be found delivering the daily catch. And the crocodile ribs always peak curiosity in true Helmut Newton style.

Then again, Arnold's also produces some of the most delicious desserts in town. Come and check the Cake display.

Be sure to catch the daily happy hour from 4.30pm to 6.30pm when drinks are at special prices.

Your hosts Mike, Enoch, Ben, Mal, Manana and Arnold wish you a warm welcome to Arnold's. Enjoy the experience!
