smak delicatessen was founded on the belief that great food doesn’t have to be complicated.
The kitchen is led by head chef, Divan Snyman, who has been a part of the smak family from its very beginning.
Katia and the rest of the team pride themselves on serving high quality consistent dishes using only the freshest ingredients Cape Town has to offer.
The seasonal menu changes often, with firm favourites available all year round.
On the menu at smak, you’ll find a variety of breakfast and lunch options as well as delicious pastries and cakes in our deli window.
Our “salted butter caramel cheesecake” is a famed favourite and we encourage you to try it!
Should you need something for a special occasion, chef Katia will create a bespoke cake just for you.
For guests in a hurry, we serve up made-to-order sandwiches from our deli, filling our fresh bread rolls with your personalised choice of fillings.
You can be as creative as you like.
Most of our meals are available for takeaway. We are OrderIn partners as well so you can get your ‘smak-fix’ without having to leave your home or office.
What makes smak different is that during any visit, you can expect to see Katia in the kitchen, taking orders, making coffee or speaking to guests.
She is intrinsically involved in the business, something she believes is very important to ensure that every guest has the experience that they deserve.
Pop in for lunch, breakfast or enjoy some coffee and cake - we are looking forward to serving you.
And feel free to bring along your furry friend, we are pet-friendly!.
As a business owner, it’s my responsibility to make sure that smak uses as little water as possible while keeping up with hygiene and cleaning requirements. It’s not an easy task for any restaurant but we’ve managed to make some changes that are already showing massive results.
