The Skotnes Restaurant at Norval Foundation is a world-class art destination and museum in Cape Town, South Africa. Named after the famous local artist and teacher Cecil Skotnes, the restaurant is a work of art with contemporary features and warm furnishings that create a relaxed and homely atmosphere.
Executive Chef Delia Harbottle oversees a menu that pays homage to traditional South African fare but with a modern twist on flavors. Ingredients are sourced from local suppliers, ensuring fresh, seasonal, and sustainable cuisine.
The recently-added Petite Plates are perfect for sharing, combining local flavors and international influences. Some highly recommended dishes include the seared-tuna poké bowl, crispy calamari, and grilled springbok loin. The most popular main dishes include the slow-cooked bobotie with apricot, mebos chutney, and aromatic rice — the Skotnes Burger with Gouda, coal-infused mayonnaise, and smoked monkey gland sauce.

The locally-sourced breakfast menu features pumpkin fritters with camembert, cinnamon, and fynbos honey and chakalaka shakshuka with eggs and amasi served with fire-roasted bread. Don’t forget to leave room for dessert, as the rooibos posset with citrus-infused cream, caramelized white chocolate, and crispy meringues is divine!
