If Cape Town needed another excuse to head up Kloof Street for a delicious nibble and a glass of something cold, The Sanctuary Restaurant has delivered it on a golden platter—literally.
Their brand-new South African Tapas Menu is a flavour-packed ode to comfort food, local favourites, and the kind of small plates that somehow make you hungrier with every bite.
Set inside the stylish Lion Roars Kloof Street Hotel—where warm lighting, modern African design and mountain-side energy mix effortlessly—The Sanctuary’s tapas selection is tailor-made for lazy afternoons, pre-dinner grazing or sharing plates that accidentally turn into a full meal.
So, what’s cooking?
The lineup features six tapas heroes, each available in portions of three—because The Sanctuary knows one bite is never enough.
✨ Charred Corn Riblets: Flame-grilled and brushed with smoked butter and feta—immediately addictive, slightly smoky, and the definition of “just one more”.
✨ Rolled Boerie: Because nothing says South Africa like boerewors. These grilled coils come with a sweet tomato relish that’s so nostalgic it could probably sing the national anthem.
✨ Chorizo & Emmental Croquettes: Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside—the ultimate comfort snack, served with ranch for dipping (or drenching, no judgement).
✨ Patatas Bravas: Spain meets SA in golden fried potato cubes tossed in a smoky, spicy brava sauce that might just become your new weakness.
✨ Beef & Veggie Skewers: Perfectly tender beef with seasonal veg and chimichurri—fresh, aromatic, and a plate that disappears far too quickly.
✨ Mini Braai Broodjies: Miniature sandwiches filled with smoked tomato smoor and melted mozzarella. They’re nostalgic, gooey perfection and dangerously easy to inhale.
Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite, settling in for a tapas feast, or pairing it all with a cocktail from their popular Sanctuary Bar, one thing is guaranteed—you’ll be back. Tapas this good should probably come with a warning label.
