Café Carlyle

Set inside Courtyard 53, a small garden shopping centre on Whitby Road in Constantia, this owner-run café serves breakfast and lunch from Monday to Saturday. Tables sit under white stinkwood trees around a fountain, with a covered verandah and a fireplace indoors for winter. The menu leans on local produce: sourdough with poached eggs, a beef tagliata at lunch, wood-fired flatbread pizzas from the oven, cakes and a short wine list, plus options for children. Closed on Sundays.
