One of Cape Town’s true little gems is La Cuccina in Hout Bay. It was one of our locals when we lived there and whenever we visit Hout Bay, we are sure to pop in for a meal. At La Cuccina it is all about good times, good wine and great food.
This is the place where many of the locals meet and enjoy the old-school service, relaxed and personal in a welcoming and comfortably tasteful environment. La Cuccina’s hosts Ian and Stephen are easy-going and sociable and their friendly staff are very attentive.
The food is all freshly prepared, local, organic and very well presented. The ethos that they aim to achieve is that “Good food is about simple food to cook in your kitchen with great ingredients and precision of technique, to be enjoyed by friends and family at any time.” The menu offers a delicious array of different tastes, ranging from Fish Cakes with lime & mint tzatziki to North African Mushroom Curry. The Charcuterie offers lovely cured ham, salami, chicken liver pate, marinated olives Danish hering and more. Desert includes Belgian chocolate fondant and Strawberry tart as well as a cheese table. The air-conditioned restaurant is very child-friendly and the kiddies menu offers their favourites, including Chicken Schnitzel and Mac & Cheese. They have high chairs for the little ones and offer toys if you need to keep them busy. La Cuccina is definitely recommended for a great family lunch or dinner.
