Noah Cape Town — Wood-Fired Restaurant & Bar on Loop Street, Cape Town CBD

Serving breakfast, coffee, seasonal small plates and a curated selection of pizzas.

Our Story

Where Cape Town Comes Together

At the heart of our restaurant is a simple idea: everything tastes better when it's cooked over fire. We're a wood-fired kitchen and bar, open from morning through to evening, serving breakfast, speciality coffee, seasonal small plates and a curated selection of pizzas.

Everything Tastes Better Over Fire

Our menu is built around our oven, from slow mornings with coffee and breakfast, to relaxed afternoons and evenings filled with drinks and plates designed for sharing.

Rather than traditional tapas, our food is a collection of small, fire-cooked dishes inspired by bold flavours and quality ingredients, changing with the seasons and what we love to cook.

The Art of the Perfect Pizza

Step behind the pass and discover how our chefs craft each pizza from scratch, a process rooted in tradition and refined with passion.

01

The Dough

We use a 72-hour cold fermentation process with Italian Tipo 00 flour. This slow rise develops complex flavours and creates that signature light, airy texture with beautiful leopard-spotted charring.

02

The Stretch

Each ball of dough is hand-stretched, never rolled, to preserve the delicate air bubbles. Our pizzaiolos have mastered the art of creating the perfect thickness: thin in the centre, pillowy at the cornicione.

03

The Fire

Our wood-fired oven reaches 450°C, cooking each pizza in just 60-90 seconds. This intense heat creates the perfect balance of crisp base and molten toppings, with that unmistakable smoky flavour.

04

The Finish

Fresh basil, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a turn of the pizza wheel, and it's ready. Each pizza is a testament to simplicity done right: quality ingredients, respected traditions, and the magic of fire.

    Talk about the best experience???? We had such an amazing experience at the restaurant last night, the whole team on duty from our waitress to the manager, the bar team (very sweet) Very attentive, very hospitable, it was so seamless. Different staff members came to serve but each one that came to the table didn’t need us to inform them of anything (sign of a good team). I cant get over the playlist. We truly appreciate your amazing service and helping make my friend’s birthday special.

    Fantastic new hotel restaurant that we nearly didn't go into as we walked by. The decor and atmosphere is really tasteful and brings a sense of calm - great paint colours and lighting design. We initially were looking for a place for cocktails, but stayed for tapas too. Cocktails were amazing, and the menu for the cocktails is quite extensive. Tapas were delicious, and fairly priced. We had the baked halloumi, aubergine, and octopus. In terms of price, things can be expensive, but there are also very affordable options to both eat and drink from. You can have both a fine dining experience, or a more affordable pizza and beer experience. I really appreciate the accessibility here. Staff were very friendly and attentive - but not overly attentive which is something that is valuable in a place like this where you can easily spend hours in. Lots of thought has gone into many dimensions of this place, and I'll be looking for an excuse to go back.

    Came in here by chance on a public holiday. Had three tapas, all delicious. Had 4 different drinks between us, all also good. Really impressed with the value proposition, which I didn't expect at all when just walking in here with zero expectation. The prices are real South African prices, not tourist pricing at all. If I was going to be in town I would definitely come again.

    We had a fantastic light lunch there. The staff were so kind to provide us with a glass of Prosecco (even though it normally only goes by the bottle). The mussels and oysters were delicious, the roasted aubergine was less soft in texture than expected, but still good. The service was friendly, patient and passionate about giving us the best possible experience. Would definitely come back!
