Start Your Day Here

Breakfast at Upper Union sets the tone for Cape Town adventures ahead. Full breakfast made to order - from classic eggs precisely how you want them to creative morning dishes that showcase seasonal produce. Fresh coffee, warm pastries, and the kind of unhurried morning service that reminds you holidays move at a different pace. Hotel guests breakfast here daily whilst neighbourhood locals pop in for weekend brunch. The room fills with morning light, conversations building momentum as the city wakes up around you.

Where Locals Dine

Upper Union isn't just our hotel restaurant - it's a Cape Town dining destination where international guests and Capetonians gather for the buzz, the flavours, the energy. Chef Amori Burger's menu celebrates seasonal ingredients with dishes designed for sharing family-style. Bold, indulgent, punchy flavours that reward adventurous palates whilst honouring what's fresh and local.

The room hums with life - hotel guests discovering their new favourite spot, neighbourhood regulars claiming their usual table, special occasions unfolding in the private dining room. Open for lunch and dinner, the restaurant transitions beautifully from leisurely afternoon meals to evening celebrations.

Cocktails and Wine

Our mixologists craft cocktails that match the menu's creative energy - unexpected combinations, seasonal ingredients, drinks worth ordering twice. The wine list showcases South African vintages alongside international selections, with our sommelier on hand to guide pairings that elevate Amori's globally inspired dishes.

Whether you're here for expertly mixed Negronis, discovery-worthy Cape wines recommended by someone who knows the vintages intimately, or simply exceptional food in a space alive with possibility - Upper Union delivers. The acclaim speaks for itself: 2025 Eat Out Woolworths One Star, Luxe Restaurant Awards Contemporary Restaurant of the Year, and Culinary Rising Star Award for Chef Amori Burger.
