Sótano by Caveau is the brainchild of Brendon Crew, Jean-Yves Muller and Marc Langlois of Caveau and HQ fame.
Sótano (the name means ‘cellar’ in Spanish, while ‘caveau’ has the same meaning in French) is a sea facing venue with a pavement café setup, sky lit indoor bar area as well as more formal seating and banquettes inside.
With live entertainment on Sundays between 3pm and 7pm by Bob Marley cover band The Rivertones, there is no better place to toast the sunset.
Please note outside tables are only available on a first come, first served basis.

"Most of the food was good - we will go back again. I had a lamb ragout pasta that was delicious. The lamb burgers were a bit disappointing though - nowhere near as good as Caveau's used to be. "

"Nice restaurant, the first time we tried it. Their lamb flat bread is amazing! In fact all their flat breads are amazing! Had the seafood paella and definitely worth it!"

"Great sundowner and after work spot, one of the few of it's sort on the Sea Point / Mouille point strip. Food is great, service can be spotty, but all in all worthwhile. Only sit outside, the inside section is a cavernous, rather souless place."
