  A romantic little nook, with an offbeat menu that delivers everytime. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner, the view from the balcony on a wind still evening is particularly pretty. First drawn here after the news of their amazing veggie burger and cocktail offerings.  Definitely give their fried chicken waffles a go. How often do you get the chance to have your dinner and desert at the same time. All very tasty – the staff and their vibe definitely make it special.

  The Hidden Leaf is a great spot for a nice relaxed lunch watching the sunset. A beautiful view of the mountain highlights the picturesque scenery of Woodstock. That coupled with a calm decor and vibey decorations means you are never uncomfortable when coming here.The drinks come in a variety of incredible and unique creations that are equal parts delicious and beautiful.The food is some of the best in Cape Town. As a Vegan I often have to accept hunger as a natural consequence of leaving the house but the options at the Hidden Leaf are so filling and delicious you won’t for a moment think of complaining.All of that is topped off by incredible service, the staff here re polite and quick. The chef personally comes out to take your order. There is not a restaurant I have been too so far that goes so far out of its way to treat the customer as if they were family,

  This is a true hidden gem, haha no seriously.So basically you go into this esoteric house, the menus are in frames you’re in this strange little house with a dope wrap around view of the mountain.I ordered the espresso martini, jiji cinnamon gin, mojito, the risotto ball starter (these should be a religion) and baked oysters.Guise, I ordered the strangest things I could and they were all amazing, rarely do meals exceed expectations of flavour and value. Heck, go for the wedges and a drink, it’s a lounge with access to rad food. Can’t wait to go back

  I’ve been wanting to try out the Hidden Leaf for some time. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much based purely on the size of the place but ended up being pleasantly surprised. First off it’s a cozy and inviting little spot. I would prefer a little bit more light so I can appreciate the detail in my food the chef spent time preparing. The service is fast and my waitress for the evening was enthusiastic and took the time to go through the entire menu. There are bold flavor choices in the menu and some really interesting takes on classic dishes. This bold take on a concise menus was exciting for me. I decided to share a starter of soft shelled blue crab citron with Candice Nancy (Ryan) Rafael.the crab meat itself was delicious but having the slight crunch of the crab shell with the tempura styled batter I found too much. I would have done one or the other. Moving to the bottom of the dish there was some slaw and super hot and spicy sauce which has serious kick to it. In the sauce there are prawns with the most interesting smoked flavor. It’s subtle and tasty then the chili overwhelms it a bit. Next up was a prawn and salmon burger – I had this one purely because I’ve never seen a prawn salmon burger. Firstly the wedges with the truffle oil – yum. The burger itself had a great flavors and definitely unique to this spot. Overall no complaints except my bun may have been in that grey area between toasted crispy and slightly charred. Candice had the pulled pork and funny enough we both enjoyed each other’s dishes more than the dish we ordered. The pulled pork was amazingly tender and just lovely with the slaw in red wine jus. The coffee we had we prepared well with a good foam quality and not burnt so you could taste the coffee. I really enough the homemade ceramic mugs the coffee was served in. This spot definitely surprised. I will be back for that grown up Mac and Cheese that was on then menu.
