Pilcrow & Cleaver is a Cape Town restaurant by season chef Judi Fourie offering bold modern flavours.
With no service staff and no doors, windows or walls to its professional kitchen, Pilcrow & Cleaver puts guests in direct contact with the chefs and cooks who make the food.
Pilcrow & Cleaver opened in December 2019 and a new menu has been created every week, complimented by proudly South African wine. Guests can unwind after work at the separate bar section, or talk to the chefs as they prepare homemade flavours.
Pilcrow & Cleaver has now changed its offering to a 2-course lunch, or a 4-course lunch/dinner option where guests can make the menu their own unique experience, choosing anything on the menu to form part of their 2-course lunch or 4-course dinner offering. And during the visit and in between courses, you can expect special secret treats from the chef.
Pilcrow & Cleaver follows the no-tipping movement and believes in pay equality from front-to-back of house.

Think it would be a wonderful and u oque experience to be served directly by the chef who makes these incredible looking meals. If I don’t win the 2-course giveaway from What’s On In Cape Town and Pilcrow & Cleaver I plan on visiting with my hubby because it looks incredible.
This restaurant must be special to have opened just before Covid hit and has been able to keep the doors open thru 2yrs of lockdown.
This would indicate that it must be offering up delicious food, in an inviting/unique manner, which created a dedicated following to keep them going strong. Well done!
I would love to win the 2-course giveaway from What’s On In Cape Town and Pilcrow & Cleaver to try it for myself.
Firstly there creative design of art and decor already had me captured.
Then to top it direct interaction with the chef that is so cool can’t contain the excitement to win this awesome experience .
This sounds like an awesome concept. We’ll have to try out this restaurant!!!
We will see you soon.
5 star extravaganza, what more could you wish for with a special friend ?
Friendly staff and very great services the best in Cape town 🙏❤️🥂🍾
Finding something unique is in itself such an achievement! This experience, because let’s face it, it’s not just a meal, is something that will not only linger on the pallet, but in one’s memory…and definitely leave you wanting more…

Wow! Can’t believe we haven’t heard of this amazing establishment yet! Totally want to give it a try now. Thanks to What’s on in Cape Town and Pilcrow & Cleaver for this opportunity to win 😁 My hubby and I have not been married for long, so we are still very much in our honeymoon phase and love going on unusual dates 😄
This restaurant is very special because although I have never been there it seems that one can see into the kitchen where the delicious meals are being prepared and that is amazing !
The direct contact with the chef and cooks who make the food makes this restaurant extra special.
Great service amazing friendly staff and most importantly I love the food presentation 👌.
My friend Sonica Smith has 3 little boys and she is such a great mom but it is haaaard work!!!!
This will be a new experience for my wife and I to engage with the chefs directly and see the way they prepare your food what a great idea for the patrons.
Wow, so fantastic that you can watch the Chef in action preparing your food and you get to create your own menu.
Such a unique dining experience. Love that you can interact with the chef. Great wine menu. The most friendly staff, very welcoming.
Good evening. I find your establishment rather interesting after it popped up in my news feed on Facebook. I must admit I am very intrigued by your concept and hopefully wining this prize it would give me the opportunity to experience it first hand. I haven’t heard of any restaurants doing this so would be awesome to experience. I think the concept is definitely something to look forward to and I love a open kitchen with chefs cooking ur dishes while watching. Looking forward seeing you in the near future
I love that you can see the cook making the food. You get that unique vibe just by watching that.
