Introduction
Some restaurants have that amazing ability to transport you to another place, another time, another state of being altogether. Pepenero achieves all that�?� and then some!
After all, how much more idyllic can one get than dining in a spacious, tastefully furnished, open-air beachfront restaurant with attractive, attentive service staff on hand ' ever-ready with your delectable choice of dish or drink. And what a choice that is!
Italian for 'black pepper�?�, Pepenero is a quality, décor-driven restaurant with a kitchen that is as au fait with home-style Italian dishes as it is with local (&imported) seafood delicacies.
It's actually difficult to imagine a better venue for a special celebration - where a host of different tastes and budgets have to be accommodated. From fresh sushi and succulent seafood to simple (but delicious) pastas or a burger, Pepenero is a hit in anyone's language.
And the extensive wine and drinks list satisfies all pockets and palates ' boasting an impressive array of vintage champagnes and exotic spirits at the upper end of the spectrum.
Pepenero's sumptuous bar area really raises the bar in terms of décor, ambience and service levels. Plush leather couches, marshmallow-soft armchairs and rich, dark woods evoke the luxury and timeless grace of an exclusive VIP lounge, or bush lodge.
All that stands between you and the finest liquors in Africa is a deep, cigar-coloured slab of exquisite granite propped up by a massive, gnarled chunk of aged driftwood. The outdoor area is equally well-appointed and airy ' offering an array of comfy seating and reclining options.
With Pepenero's proud Italian heritage, its hardly surprising to find chilled Peroni on tap, as well as a host of fine Italian wines, aperitifs and liqueurs. Whisky is another specialty of the house ' with a comprehensive single malt selection covering all ages, styles and districts. Cocktails are an obvious choice in a setting like this, and at only R21 for a Martini, Daiquiri or Cosmopolitan etc, you really can go quite wild.
From its perfect Mouille Point position, you're only minutes from the V&A Waterfront, the City, and the country's finest beaches. You're close enough to the new stadium to hear the ball hit the crossbar. And you couldn't get closer to Robben Island (or Brazil) without wetting your pants.*
While Pepenero's opening hours and versatile menu lends itself to anyday, anytime dining, the magnificent seaside setting and ambience have the word 'sundowner�?� written all over it. And the suggestive cocktail list makes a timely departure highly unlikely.
If you had something more intimate in mind, you'd probably prefer the indoor dining area ' with its crystal chandeliers, upholstered booths and an 80m curved north-west facing window frontage that wraps around the restaurant like a pair of Prada shades, and bathes the restaurant in glorious, flattering, amber light as the sun calls it a day.
