Five Flies (Closed Permanently)

(13 Ratings)
Fusion food open Sundays
It's hell to find a central Cape Town restaurant that's open Sundays; Five Flies is probably the best of the bunch. In a stately rehabbed townhouse, it's large (200 seats) and a bit touristy, but the California-inflected food is varied and usually locally sourced. Happy hour (not particularly gay) with great free snacks M-F 5-7pm. Secure parking.

For a Christmas Meal...

Not the best value for the price. I booked a table which I had to prepay for, on Christmas eve. Atmosphere was very dry and not Gay at all, which why I was confused it was listed on GayCities. Even so, if listed here simply because Gays would be for example attracted to a chic and trendy location...this was not it. If the food would be a great value because of a good price and it happened to quite tasty...also not it. The food was bland and unimaginative for a Christmas meal. A mushroom soup and a plain salad with salmon for a starter, then directly after, a sorbet....um no thanks.....for the main course...honey glazed ham slices, and a turkey mashed puree of some sort. Desert was mousse with a chocolate trifle. All for 40 Euro...Too much money for a lackluster menu and it lacked creativity and taste.
