Boma is a unique culinary experience in the heart of Cape Town, situated on Bree Street. It offers an enchanting oasis that captures Africa’s rich desert landscapes, making it a must-visit destination for food and ambiance lovers.
The restaurant, conceived by The Firm, a renowned hospitality group, offers a unique concept that blends atmosphere, nostalgia, and bold flavors.
Boma’s allure lies in both its culinary offerings and enchanting ambiance. The restaurant and cocktail lounge occupy the former space of La Parada, offering the charm of an open fire where the warmth of the flames invites sharing of stories and savoring of delectable, smoky cuisine.
Upon entering, patrons are captivated by the desert-inspired decor, with natural wood accents and dramatic red lighting that create an immersive environment. The space is adorned with cacti and life-size horse statues, adding an element of surprise to the experience.
Boma’s heart and soul reside in its menu, paying homage to flame-grilled dishes, a cherished tradition. From the quintessential South African dish, the scrumptious skaap rib, to the mouth-watering chopped beef sando, each offering at Boma tells a tale of its own. The chakalaka and tomato rice encompass centuries of flavors, while sharing plates are perfect for fostering camaraderie among friends.
The culinary journey does not end with the main course. Boma takes equal pride in crafting unforgettable dessert experiences. Classic dishes like the jaffle receive a contemporary update with ingredients such as 90-day-aged comte, tomato, blatjang, and onion. Tempting options like karoo honey cake or pumpkin churro are sure to delight your taste buds.
The desert theme extends to the beverages, with specialty concoctions like the Dusky Desert Delight and Cactus Sunset complementing classic cocktails, beers, and wines.
As the clock strikes 10 pm, Boma undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis. The venue offers an eclectic music experience, encompassing genres ranging from country and western to lo-fi hip-hop and more. Catering to an exclusive clientele above 25, Boma provides a curated space for discerning Capetonians.
A visit to Boma on Bree Street is a sensorial expedition through taste and sound, where nostalgia and innovation coalesce. The African desert’s essence comes alive in every dish and each corner of the space. Boma invites you to embark on this captivating journey and create unforgettable memories, one flavorful bite at a time.
