Many years ago Lawrence and Derek opened Café Carte Blanche as a petit bar. Lawrence at the time had an antique shop next door called A Touch of Madness. Soon word got out about this fab little place, he incorporated the antiques and A Touch of Madness at Café Carte Blanche was born.
A good few years later, Andrew and Lisa bought it from Justin, the second owner. That is where our story begins.
We were there for three years and started finding that we needed a little more room; it was just not big enough to accommodate all our fantastic customers. We could only seat fifteen for dinner, a few in the lounge and the bar was really quite intimate.

We found a Victorian house right around the corner. Renovated it to look the same, shuffled all the décor in and opened our doors at the end of December 2001.
The thought of looking back was only to remember all the great times that were had at that wonderful little double story building fondly known as A Touch of Madness at Café Carte Blanche.
Take some time to unwind and relax and we do hope you enjoy your time here with us.

The delightful menu features anecdotes portraying the vast diversity of South African landscapes, together with simple but thoughtful food and wine pairings. An interesting salad selection caters for both carnivores and herbivores with variations such as the South African salad – slivers of springbok carpaccio, pecorino shavings and herb salad leaves, and the veggi salad with its colourful array of vegetables and leaves.
Mediterranean favourites which provide more substantial fare include the Risotto Bacon cooked Italian style with arborio rice, or a vegetarian option with feta and sun dried tomatoes. Main course recommendations are the Beef Ale stew – slow cooked with Guinness and served with mash, and the Greek Lamb slices marinated in garlic, herbs and yoghurt.
The tempting cakes – chocolate, carrot and cheesecake are all made in house and portions are large!
