I recently visited this cozy lunch spot, drawn in by its warm and welcoming service. But, there's a deal-breaker I just can't overlook: their coffee. I found their flat white flavorless and watery. In a neighborhood boasting strong contenders like Salvation Cafe, Bean There, and Plato, this is a significant misstep, especially given their prime location.
On a brighter note, the food here is a winner. Everything's fresh and tasty, a delightful experience for the palate. The place itself has a unique charm, setting itself apart from the usual industrial-style eateries. It's vibrant and lively, perfect for a boozy lunch scene.
However, it's clear that this spot is more suited for a midday meal rather than a breakfast haunt.

Had the worst meal and terrible service at Saint Germain for our staff Christmas lunch
Waited an hour for a boiled piece of steak and mash. The meal was disgusting and cost R280, I’m so disappointed! Is this a steak de faux fillet 🤢

I had their ostrich burger which was divine! So delicious ah! The chilli sauce that came with it (optional) was mega mega nice. I had a good sitting in the midday sun, on the mini street (foot goer street) which felt very European. Yum!

It was my first time visiting the restaurant and I enjoyed being in that little corner, having time to myself. The food was delicious, the bread was a bit burnt, nonetheless I came out with a full happy stomach. I also love the fleece gestures for customers when it's cold.

We had an intimate women’s networking session on the 4th of August. The food , service and the ambience was on point. If you want a classy yet non so casual space Saint Germaine is the place to be 🤩🤩🤩
It was almost 25 ladies and we had so much fun . If you want to book for women’s day this is the place to be to enjoy wit your lady friends 🥰👌🔥🔥🔥

What a lovely little spot for a quick bite. Croissant with bacon and Brie and a Croq Monsieur. So glad we stopped by and stayed.
Give this slightly out of the way eatery a try.
Staff very pleasant

The only reason this isn’t a zero star review is because it isn’t possible to select ‘none’. I just waited an hour for a sandwich with ‘French-style’ (actually square-cut cheapest Safrican) ham and ‘Gruyèr’ (Ementhaler) Jambon Breurre sandwich. Don’t bother. R235 for the glass of wine I drank while I waited, and waited…

Good food and coffee, nice vibe, attentive and friendly staff. Wasn't planning to stop for a coffee but we couldn't resist after seeing this place. A must visit!
Food takes ages. The egg was uncooked and on a bed of rotten leaves. Overpriced. Underwhelming. Awful.
