Brio Restaurant 2

Vintage dining experience at Brio

Opulent Brio restaurant in Adderley Street brings you back to 1893

Usually it takes some time for a place to gain character – Brio got it all(ready). Opened in the midst of the 2010 World Cup, Brio had a quiet beginning – and now it’s time to unveil this secret gem in the centre of Cape Town.

"A setting of unrivalled opulence and class, Brio has restored the century-old ABC Building (in the former Riboville), where the city bank once held its gold, and introduced a whole new style of wealth and exclusivity. From the breathtaking original chandeliers that light up the restaurant’s vaulted ceilings, to the dark, lacquered wooden floors, to the decadent tastes on the menu, Brio has ushered in the return of true vintage glamour, timeless style, and the impossibly moving beauty of history," I read before visiting Brio.
