HQ in Cape Town’s bustling CBD may be famous for their pared down menu of a crisp salad starter, sirloin and bottomless thin-cut fries, yet there has been much talk as of late about the generous selection of tapas on the menu.
In the bar area, mezzanine & courtyard tuck into cubes of sirloin with Café de Paris butter, butternut & sage wantons, spicy chorizo balls, crispy calamari, and much more.
Gather a group of friends to feast on HQ’s Mediterranean Delicacies Aperitivo Board – a sharing board of risotto balls with truffle aioli, paprika-spiced squid heads, hummus, tzatziki, and feta dips, served with oven-baked pita. Served with a bartender’s selection of four Worldclass cocktails for only R250.
Half Price Tapas in Cape Town
#BoardWalkEmpire and #HQHalfPriceTapas at HQ every Thursday
If music be the food of love, play on—start your weekend early at HQ with cutting-edge beats, half-price tapas and craft cocktails.
The glamorous yet edgy bar and restaurant is as passionate and discerning about music as they are about food. Every Thursday expect top local acts and DJs playing deep techno and deep house music. The entertainment is coordinated by two of Cape Town’s most loved DJs – Brett Aitken & Candice Heyns, who take to the decks in HQ on a weekly basis.
The inventive cocktail list has something for everyone. Try the fragrantly fruity HQ Blush, served tall with flavours of cranberry, lime and elderflower. Then sink into a delicious tequila dream with the Figments: fig, cloudy apple, Don Julio Reposado and hints of white wine vinegar. Plus, if you thought the night couldn’t get any better, all bar snacks and tapas are half-price!
HQ is housed in Heritage Square, a national monument and the building evokes urban mystery and Boardwalk Empire celebrates the exuberance of the mid-century, when guys and gals dressed to impress; and danced till dawn.
