Bar Aperitif
An elegant yet understated aperitivo bar on vibrant upper Bree Street, bringing a taste of Italian and French drinking culture to Cape Town. Aperitif opened its doors in September 2023 as a neighbourhood bar where you can enjoy a quick catch up with friends, a romantic date, or simply take a little time out for yourself.
The drinks menu celebrates the classics while adding their own twists. The spirit selection comprises premium brands, alongside a well-balanced wine list featuring small-scale local producers in and around the Western Cape. The food offering draws inspiration from European aperitivo culture, focusing on simple dishes designed to be shared.
