Introduction
Established in 2000ad Rafiki's Cafè has long been at the hearts of most Capetonians looking for a relaxed, unassuming venue to meet friends and make new ones. The heart of the business has always been its people, both staff and patrons. From humble beginnings the business has grown from initially being a private supper club to what it is today..... a busy bar restaurant. There's no single salient thing that brings people to the venue and keeps them there. Perhaps it is the beautiful views from the 35m long sunny balcony, or the groups of colourful people adorning it, or the full scrumptious menu, or the staff, or the huge open fire place (cold nights). Whatever it is, all will tell you that a quick "pop in" often turns into an "all nighter."
The menu consists of easy going food. Their Pizzas are without doubt top contenders for the best in Cape Town prize (should there be one). The menu also sports killer hamburgers, salads and so on. Look out for the afternoon specials, they start at noon, but get there early, they end at 3pm. You won't find these deals anywhere!
Get in touch to keep in the loop of what might be spinning on the balcony, including DJ's and live bands may be playing - they have some of the best the country has to offer. The venue is perfectly suited to intimate sessions and is sure to please all live music fans as well as art lovers. There is a host of always changing artwork on the walls and crafts that find their way through the door.
Rafiki's being quite central, is within a short walk from almost everything in the city bowl area. On one of the main roads to Camps Bay/Table Mountain it is an irresistible stop going to or coming from the beach. Reservations can be a little more difficult as they believe in "first come first serve" but they do take bookings. They're happy to host birthdays, team building and corporate events, going away bashes or wrap parties. Don't forget 10% gratuity is added to all bookings.
Our big screen has multiplied into as many as 6 screens with sound inside and out, Rafikis has grown a huge sport following, so every gaming event is screened and more than one channel can be aired simultaneously.
The owner, Miki's, mission in life was to create a venue unlike anything Cape Town had to offer. Most of which being trendy night spots with dress codes and intimidating bouncers. Although he would happily admit Rafiki's is not "trendy" you would be mistaken in thinking that the place and its patrons don't have style. Quite the opposite. What you will find are loads of people who came to have a great time without pretences. Straight off the beach, from work, from the airport or from home, all are welcome to come as they feel most comfortable. Whether you started your evening at Rafiki's or ended it, you are certainly going to find yourself back there before long. One things for sure, a more Capetonians place you won't find.
