Welcome to The Wes
Welcome to The Wes, where sophistication meets playful quirk in the culinary heart of Cape Town.
Decor inspired by the whimsical world of Wes Anderson, every detail of our space has been crafted to ignite curiosity and to make people feel good and have fun. Under the direction of Head Chef Samantha Temmers, our upmarket French bistro reimagines timeless French classics with a contemporary twist.
The Food
Our new Winter menu, now led by Executive Chef Samantha Temmers, celebrates bold, seasonal flavours rooted in classic French cooking techniques. Expect elegant bistro dishes such as Steak Tartare, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Moules Marinière — each crafted with the finest local ingredients and a touch of Cape Town charm.
Whether you’re joining us for breakfast, leisurely lunch, an elegant dinner, or a cheeky cocktail (or three), there’s always something new to discover.
The Drinks
Our wine list is a showcase of the history and heritage of the Western Cape. We take pride in offering a variety of cultivars and blends that showcase the unique terroirs of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Hemel en Aarde, Swartland, Constantia, and beyond, ensuring every glass reflects the distinct character of South Africa’s world-class wine regions.
And when it comes to cocktails, we’ve really let our imaginations fly. Take your pic from a selection of delightful and creative twists on the classics plus a few original creations.
