Description: Caf� 1999 has become quite an institution on the Durban Berea with its simple urban chic interior. This loud and vibey caf�-style restaurant is a popular venue bursting with patrons ranging from the young and funky to slick businessmen sipping on champagne and nibbling on some tasty little tit-bits. Our style of service is relaxed but by no means slack.

The concept of the restaurant is to celebrate taste so therefore there are no starters and no main courses instead the menu is divided into tit-bits and bit-parts. Tit-bits are dishes which are small and tasty and have been specifically designed to be shared and the idea is - to fill your table with tit-bits and celebrate taste.

Bit-Parts are the main affair of the evening and are available in half and full portions, so if you�ve hade one too many tit-bits you can always opt for a half portion.

Please do yourself a favour and try the desserts. Chef Marcelle Roberts and her team have been creating award winning food and satisfying the Durban locals for past ten years. The wines are selected to compliment the menu and are hand picked by Samantha and Sean mainly from boutique wine estates , and are effortlessly poured by our knowledgeable staff.

Fun place, 06 Jan 2012

(Adventurousness: What is the chef's special today?)

Comments: Always a fun place to eat. Menu different and fun. Staff always friendly and knowledgeable, especially with regards to wine selection. Just keep an eye on the bill when asking them to make up platters for you.

Very relaxed ambiance and a nice place to spend a summer afternoon.

(Adventurousness: What is the chef's special today?)

Comments: Great restaurant. They always have an interesting special menu and aren't afraid to stick their necks out when exploring recipes. I like the concept of big/little portion choices as one can actually have a 3 course meal without being totally bloated. The quality of food is always excellent, sometimes the restaurant can be a little noisy as its always full.
Wine list is good too and has some hard to find gems. The staff are ALL amazing and noting is too much trouble.
