Nestled in the heart of Cape Town, The Crypt Jazz is not just a restaurant; it’s an immersive experience that marries the vibrant rhythms of live jazz with a culinary journey that tantalizes the senses. Located at St George's Cathedral, this unique venue invites you to step into a world where music and flavor collide, creating an atmosphere that is both lively and intimate. As you enter, the sounds of local jazz artists fill the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.

The menu at The Crypt Jazz is a delightful fusion of local and international flavors, crafted to complement the vibrant atmosphere. One standout dish is the **Steak Frites**, perfectly seared and served with a side of crispy fries that are simply irresistible. Another must-try is the **Apple Crumble**, a warm dessert that captures the essence of comfort food with its sweet, spiced filling and buttery crust. Each bite is a reminder of home, making it a perfect end to your evening.

What sets The Crypt Jazz apart is its commitment to showcasing local talent. The venue regularly hosts live performances from some of the best jazz musicians in South Africa, creating an electric atmosphere that keeps guests coming back for more. One memorable night featured a three-piece band accompanied by a talented female vocalist, captivating the audience with their soulful melodies.

Conveniently located at 1 Wale St, The Crypt Jazz is surrounded by some of Cape Town's most iconic landmarks. Just a stone's throw away from the bustling Adderley Street, visitors can easily explore the vibrant city center before or after their meal. Nearby attractions include the historic Company's Garden and the stunning Table Mountain, both offering breathtaking views and enriching experiences.

The Crypt Jazz is renowned for its live jazz performances and a menu that features a delightful mix of local and international dishes.

While there is no strict dress code, smart casual attire is recommended to match the elegant ambiance.

Yes, guests are welcome to bring their own beverages, but there is a corkage fee.

Whether you’re a jazz enthusiast, a foodie, or simply looking for a unique night out, The Crypt Jazz promises an experience that will linger in your memory long after the last note fades. Book your table now and immerse yourself in the rhythm of Cape Town!

What a beautiful venue. The music is amazing, we had a great band, with great sound and vibes. The food was good. No alcohol available, so bring your own. They charge quite a bit for bringing your own spirits (not stated on the Web page)

The only down side to the crypt is that the service is horrendous! The waitress could not care less that we had to walk into the kitchen to ask for everything we needed. At least she collected our plates between smoke breaks. Sitting next to the bar to Facebook while we walk pass.

No manager to answer to the bad service.

There is nothing like experience in the Crypt in person. It's not just the live music it's all about the local genius artists who play the music make you love this place even more.

Great service by the friendly and professional staff in a unique environment. The music was great and we thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing to Afro Fiesta! The food (we had Steak  Frites and apple crumble) was good, but not great. This is a place to visit for the music and atmosphere, not the food.

Lovely and different experience in a beautiful place. Unfortunately it took a while to be waited on, and when the food came some people only got theirs when others were finishing. Might be better to go as a small group :)
