Hacienda, one of Cape Town’s most stylish restaurants located on Bree Street, introduced a new menu in 2024 that combines traditional Latin American flavors with South African influences. The revamp was led by Executive Chef Marco Alvarez, who spent months curating an exciting selection of dishes that emphasize bold flavors and premium ingredients.
The updated menu includes:
- Chimichurri-grilled ribeye, featuring locally sourced beef aged to perfection
- Charred octopus with smoked paprika aioli, inspired by Mediterranean-Latin fusion cuisine
- Corn and truffle empanadas, adding a luxurious twist to a classic street food item
- Aguachile king prawns, marinated in citrus and chili for a bold, refreshing taste
Hacienda has also expanded its cocktail offerings, with mixologists introducing mezcal-based drinks, tropical fruit infusions, and a new premium tequila selection.
The restaurant’s interior design has also been refreshed to enhance the guest experience, featuring warm lighting, an open-fire grill, and a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance. The menu relaunch has already drawn high praise from food critics and diners, reaffirming Hacienda’s status as a leading player in Cape Town’s fine-dining scene.
With a focus on authenticity, sustainability, and bold flavors, Hacienda’s new menu is expected to attract local food lovers, tourists, and international food critics looking for a modern take on Latin cuisine in South Africa.
