Green Point & the Waterfront, covered

myCHEF serves Green Point and the V&A Waterfront with private chef dinners from R1,150 per person for small tables, apartment chef days and event catering — travel included, because both are Zone 1.

This is the city's convenience hub: marina apartments, lock-up-and-go living, the stadium on the corner and the CBD five minutes away. The kitchens are modern, the bookings are often short-notice, and the standard expected is high.

Why this corner is special for private dining

Event nights define the area. When Cape Town Stadium hosts a concert or a derby, the neighbourhood fills — and a private post-event dinner in a Green Point apartment beats every sold-out restaurant within a kilometre. We plan service times around event finishes so the food lands when you do.

The Waterfront adds the marina-apartment crowd: record-setting apartments, corporate travellers on long stays, and visiting executives who want one proper dinner in without a reservation. Boardroom-format dining and canapé receptions translate directly to these addresses.

The area's restaurant scene is excellent and relentless — fully booked on event nights, tourist-priced year-round. A private dinner in your apartment costs less than a comparable night out for a group of six, starts when you are ready, and ends with nobody hunting for a taxi on Portswood Road.

Services available here

Apartment and building logistics

Sectional-title buildings mean booked lift access and load-in windows — we coordinate with building management before the day. Kitchens here are compact but modern; the menu is designed to the room, and cleanup leaves the apartment exactly as found.

  • Event-night timing planned around stadium finishes
  • Compact modern kitchens — menus designed to the room
  • Short-notice bookings often possible midweek

The corporate-adjacent advantage

Proximity to the CBD and CTICC makes this the natural base for visiting teams: conference weeks like the February mining indaba and art fair season fill the area's apartments with groups who need one decent dinner between session days. Boardroom-format dinners and canapé receptions run exactly as they do in offices — all-in quoted, invoiced cleanly, done by 22:00 on a school night.

Year-end season runs hard here too: Ke Dezemba brings company parties to every rooftop and promenade-facing venue in the precinct. We cater the apartment and villa versions of those parties — canapés from R395 per person for twenty-plus, with staffing itemised — and December Fridays book out first. The January Minstrel Carnival passes through the neighbourhood too, and we plan those evenings around the road closures.
