It is my pleasure to welcome you to the web pages of Emily's and the Culinary Art Institute of Africa.

Emily's is the premier restaurant for South African Cuisine and has achieved an enviable reputation as one of the very best restaurants in South Africa. During the past sixteen years the restaurant has received numerous local and international awards: Eat Out Top Ten Awards, Diners Club Diamond Awards for it's wine collection, American Express Platinum Awards, Wine Magazine's Top Hundred Restaurants in South Africa awards, Standard Bank's Superior Choices Awards, The Good Food Guide's Top Awards, The Trade Leaders Club International Award for Tourism (Spain), The International Award for Sustained Quality (France) and the

But, there is more to Emily's than awards.

Emily's staff include well trained and dedicated individuals, specialist in their respective fields. The restaurant is well appointed and romantic, yet is also designed to host larger functions. There is a selection of hundreds of different wines with one hundred available by the glass. During summer guests can enjoy sitting on the balcony overlooking the waterfront.

In addition to the restaurant there is also the Emily's Snack and Beer Bar, housed in the historical Clock Tower. Next to the waters edge, it offers light refreshments. The Emily's Wine Bar overlooks the entrance to Table Bay harbour and offers a relaxed atmosphere to taste wine, beer or spirits and to enjoy a selection of local and/or imported cheese.

All our chefs are trained in our own facility: The Culinary Art Institute of Africa, housed on the same premises.
