The Bungalow: Our Story
The Bungalow | Glen Country Club, 3 Victoria Road, Clifton | 4.0
Welcome to our little corner of Clifton.
Perched on Cape Town’s breathtaking Atlantic coastline, we’ve been welcoming guests since 2011. Whether you’ve just discovered us through The Surge or you’ve scanned our QR code while dining with us today, we’re delighted you’re here.
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the magnificent Twelve Apostles mountain range, The Bungalow has become one of Cape Town’s most iconic beachfront restaurants. Every day, we have the privilege of sharing incredible food, spectacular sunsets and unforgettable moments with guests from around the world.
At The Bungalow, we believe dining should be more than just a meal—it should be an experience. From long, leisurely lunches overlooking the ocean to sunset cocktails and celebrations with friends and family, we’ve created a place where exceptional food, warm hospitality and one of the world’s most beautiful settings come together.

What Makes Us Special
There’s something magical about The Bungalow that keeps our guests coming back.
Our Mediterranean-inspired menu celebrates the freshest seafood, premium meats and seasonal ingredients, all served against one of the most spectacular backdrops in Cape Town.
As the afternoon fades into evening, the atmosphere transforms. Cocktails are poured, conversations become louder, music fills the air, and the Atlantic Ocean provides a sunset you’ll never forget.
Whether you’re here to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon by the sea, we hope every visit feels unforgettable.

If you’re wondering what to order, our guests consistently return for our famous Seafood Linguine, one of our signature dishes.
Other favourites include our freshly shucked oysters, Crispy Skin Sea Bass, slow-cooked Lamb Shank and our perfectly aged 600g T-Bone Steak.
Of course, whichever dish you choose, we hope it becomes one of your favourites too.
