GOLD Restaurant is a vibrant Pan-African experience in the heart of Cape
Town, situated at 15 Bennett Street, Green Point. We offer a night of opulent feasting with unique
live entertainment in beautifully restored old warehouse.

A typical evening at GOLD Restaurant starts off with an optional half an hour of
interactive djembe drumming. The drum circle offers you the opportunity to
join in and learn how to play the djembe. After pounding the skins of the
drums, we will soothe your hands in a traditional hand washing ceremony.

magnificently adorned staff bearing your banquet in baskets perched on their
heads. While you enjoy the vast variety of 14 different dishes, you will be captivated

Tall, graceful Mali Puppets will enchant you as they dance with the singers,
