Anatoli is one of Cape Town’s longest-established restaurants, but is receiving a rejuvenating makeover, with a transition to authentic Mediterranean foods, and introducing a new Vegan Tasting Menu. The kitchen is headed up by passionate Chef Jacques du Toit, a master at bringing out the best in his dishes, with a mix of Mediterranean spices.

Anatoli is an informal, homely, lively, long-established authentic Mediterranean restaurant serving generous portions of flavourful foods, including magic mezzes, aromatic main courses, and delicious desserts, all beautifully presented. On most Saturdays a belly dancer is in the house.

Anatoli serves a pre-Dinner Aperitif consisting of 4 Mezzes (Hummus, Ezme, Mixed olives, and Tzatziki), half a flatbread, and a glass of red or white wine, at R75, from 16h00 – 18h00. Dinner is served from 18h00.  It currently offers three menu options: an À la Carte Menu, a Vegan Tasting Menu, and a special Restaurant Week Menu (1 April – 2 May).

Anatoli Chef Jacques du Toit is passionate about spices, his favorites being sumac, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon. He is a creative creator of unique dishes, and flavourful food.
