Woodstock Fire Room

WoodstockCape Town

8.5

A converted textile factory where the entire menu passes through an open wood-fire line — dry-aged rump with smoked bone marrow, whole yellowtail, cabbage that converts cabbage agnostics, and a braaied-pineapple ice cream for the finish. The wine list leans natural and local. It's loud by design and the kitchen counter seats are the best in the house; the back tables by contrast feel like exile. Book the counter.

Order this

  • Dry-aged rump with marrow
  • Whole coal-roasted yellowtail
  • Fire-charred cabbage

The dishes reviewers keep coming back for. Ordering off-list is on you.
