Cognito Restaurant Information
"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well" (Virginia Woolf)
Cognito Restaurant opened its doors in September 2004. As one of the foremost restaurants in the well-known Dorp Street in Stellenbosch, Cognito has proven to be a culinary landmark well worth visiting.
Specialising in African-fusion cuisine, Cognito always has something different to offer, something unique. Traditional South African and African dishes are served, but the focus is on interesting flavours, combinations and presentations. The owners of Cognito Restaurant, Diani Smit and Anien le Roux, thrive on creating innovative dishes inspired by exotic spices and fresh seasonal ingredients. They draw inspiration from traditional cuisine, interesting wines and their travels to North and East Africa.
It is a destination with a contemporary, friendly and relaxed atmosphere and guests are encouraged to take some time to savour everything Cognito has to offer. Whether you are sipping an exquisite glass of Sauvignon Blanc on the terrace under the vines in summer or snuggling up in front of the cosy fireplace with our hearty comfort food in winter, your visit to Cognito will be memorable.
The Cognito menu is planned carefully and developed with enormous passion. Sourcing interesting flavours from South African, Moroccan and Nigerian cuisine - to name but a few - we turn them into our own creations. We handpick wines from all over the Western Cape to compile our extensive wine list and compliment our wonderful food. A connoisseur’s selection has been added to give them the chance to share their favourite wines with guests.
Cognito Restaurant is a trendy venue for big or small functions from pre-drinks to birthday parties and corporate functions. A group of 12 people can still order from our à la carte menu, but larger groups revert to a set menu starting at R90 per head.
The minimum number of guests for which the entire restaurant may be booked is 40. Cognito has a private room available for groups of 20-30 people, which can be set up for a sit-down meal or informally with couches and ottomans, perfect for an informal canapé function.
