Our Story

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.

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.

Alongside this, we offer a focused pizza menu: just a handful of carefully crafted options, made with the same attention to flavour, balance and simplicity that runs through everything we do.

Whether you're stopping by for a morning coffee, a casual bite, or settling in for drinks and a table full of plates, we've created a space that's relaxed, social and centred around great food cooked over fire.

Why Noah

A Name Close to Home

The restaurant and bar is named Noah because Noah is one of our twin boys, and one of the reasons the Charles Hope aparthotel brand exists today. Our children inspired us to create spaces where families and travellers could feel truly at home, so it felt natural that our first bar and restaurant in Cape Town would carry his name.

Family is at the heart of what we believe a hotel, bar, or restaurant should stand for. We want Noah to feel like an extension of our home: a relaxed space with comfortable sofas, family-style sharing dishes, and games for guests of all ages. Our aim is to welcome you the way we would welcome friends or family, with warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging.
