The Poké Co Kloof Street

Are you craving a delicious and healthy meal that won’t break the bank? Look no further than The Poké Co, the perfect spot for poke perfection and more in Cape Town’s foodie hub on Kloof Street. This popular eatery has just opened its third branch, and we think it’s the best one yet.

Tickled Pink at The Poké Co

The muted-pink interiors of The Poké Co, complemented by soft curves and pink terrazzo surfaces, imbue the restaurant with a relaxed and contemporary vibe, making it just as suited for an on-the-go bite as a working lunch. “Design is a big part of the brand, and as we grow, we want to continually push this element, giving each store its own subtle flavor within the parameters of the core brand,” says founder Andrew Flanagan.

Bowled Over at The Poké Co

While the order of the day is, of course, the popular poké bowls – generously filled to the brim with fresh ingredients – The Poké Co also does sweet, savory, and everything in between. We’re talking smoothie bowls, healthy breakfast bowls, homemade cold-pressed juices, hot beverages, soft-serve ice cream, and even sushi-rittos (a burrito-sized sushi creation), all of which are created in-house by a passionate team of friendly staff.

The nine signature bowls are all firm favorites, but if you’re feeling creative, you can also make your own in just a few easy steps.

  1. Select your choice of base: sticky rice, kale and red cabbage, glass noodles, brown rice or quinoa.
  2. Decide on your protein: fresh salmon, tuna, tofu, prawn, shredded chicken, beef brisket or eggplant.
  3. Select which tasty toppings and delectable dressings you’d like.

Actually, whatever you choose, you won’t leave disappointed – or hungry.

Specials, Details and Highlights at The Poké Co

The Poké Co also runs monthly specials, so keep an eye out for those when you next visit. Our favorite dish is the Tiger Bowl with fresh salmon. The staff is attentive, helpful, and friendly. They offer catering and takeout options as well.

Airbnb Under Fire: How Cape Town’s Housing Crunch Became a Tourism Blame-Game

Cape Town’s housing woes are NOT really Airbnb’s fault, even though a viral photo tried to blame them! The real problem is that not enough homes are being built, and lots of new people are moving to the city. Getting building permits takes forever, making homes expensive. Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
