The Alphen’s flagship heritage Italian restaurant presents restaurant classics in the most thoughtful way.

Blanko offers an intimate dining experience in the heritage building of The Alphen – a national monument and lauded example of Cape Dutch architecture.

Located on the edge of the Constantia green belt, high ceilings, white table cloths, historical artefacts and a stellar collection of South African art create a sense of prestige and refinement. This is complemented by exceptional hospitality and juxtaposed by bright and modern decor in a gallery-inspired space.

Our menu offers classic, Italian dishes tailored to the seasons made with fresh, local ingredients – along with a wine list that showcases the best premium South African wineries.

Dine inside in an intimate and refined yet cosy setting, or enjoy terrace dining under the oak trees.
