Why choose Rick’s Cafe Americain for a year-end function?
For groups that would rather celebrate the end of the year over drinks, food and a lively Kloof Street setting than squeeze into a standard function venue, Rick’s Cafe Americain offers several private event options.
Located on Kloof Street in Cape Town, the restaurant can accommodate groups ranging from 6 to 80 guests, making the offering suitable for everything from smaller gatherings to bigger year-end parties.
- The venue gives groups three spaces to choose from for exclusive venue hire: the famous Roof Terrace, the First-Floor Restaurant or the Downstairs Bar. That means the format can be matched to the occasion, from a larger celebration taking over the terrace to a more intimate gathering indoors.
Food can also be arranged around the style of event. For seated functions, Rick’s Cafe Americain offers set menus, while cocktail parties can be catered with savoury snack platters. The Roof Terrace is particularly suited to bigger celebrations, while the indoor spaces offer alternatives for groups wanting a more contained private event. With exclusive hire available across the three areas, the venue can accommodate different group sizes and celebration styles.
Rick’s Cafe Americain’s location on Kloof Street also puts the event right in one of Cape Town’s well-known dining and nightlife areas. The focus here is straightforward: gather the team, friends or guests, choose a space, organise the food and get on with enjoying the occasion.
