Bo-Kaap

Tannin

When you're looking for a refined yet relaxed evening, Tannin offers a blend of well-curated wines and elevated bites in the heart of Cape Town's City Bowl. This spot is perfect for wine enthusiasts and food lovers who enjoy quality without the fuss. The unusual mix of over 400 wine options and creative tapas make it a worthy evening out. Keep in mind, the downstairs area welcomes walk-ins, but for a more structured experience, reservations are advised for the upper levels.

Walk-ins sit on the bottom floor, reservations needed upstairs.

Tapas style; two dishes with sides each are filling.

Basque cheesecake is good for sharing.

The layout includes wine stored high on walls, which means occasional interruptions when staff fetch a bottle — pick the bar or book a table if you'd prefer a seamless experience.
