Ongetem
7 Park Road
5PM - 9.30PM
Restaurant

Where the knives are sharp, the jokes are inappropriate, and the food? Well - let’s just say it slaps. Chef Bertus Basson and his band of flavour bandits have put together a menu that doesn’t read like a novel or look like a spreadsheet. It’s food we love to cook, food we’d serve our mates, and food that has something to say. It might be nostalgic, it might be a little naughty, but it’ll never be boring. Eat with your hands, laugh too loud, stay too long—we’re cool with that.
