Papino's Restaurant

Papino's Restaurant We support local; our fresh produce comes from local companies within Hout Bay. A restaurant with such an amazing legacy should never just disappear.

“We honour the past by making the present enjoyable.”
Papino’s aim to bring back some of your favourites from the original menu, with a Jolly Cook twist to new dishes. “We honour the past by making the present enjoyable”

I was saddened when I heard that Papino’s had closed its doors earlier this year. I approached a few people and with their help we managed to acquire this piece of Hout Bay his

tory and transform it to what you see today. In honoring the past, I aim to bring back most of your favourite dishes from the original menu and have added a Jolly Cook twist to a few new dishes. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable. So if this is your first time here, I hope that you can feel the atmosphere of the good times and food that people enjoyed in this building over the many years that this restaurant was open. Relax, enjoy and have a great time.

A lot's changed since then. But the good stuff hasn’t... like our traditional starters.
