About Upper Union

Upper Union is a communal dining establishment situated in a restored heritage building in the Gardens neighborhood of Cape Town. Helmed by Executive Chef Amori Burger, the restaurant specializes in a seasonal menu of globally inspired small and large plates designed for sharing, drawing culinary influences from South African, North African, Middle Eastern, and Turkish cuisines.

The culinary offerings include distinct multi-course menus such as the meat-focused Pasture Menu and the vegetarian Garden Menu with signature items like traditional pull-apart Kubaneh bread served alongside house-made butters. Located adjacent to the Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel at 3 Upper Union Street, the venue features a multi-level layout that includes an interior dining room, an enclosed glass conservatory, a black-and-white tiled outdoor terrace, an upstairs cocktail bar, and an intimate private dining room.
