Clos Malverne Restaurant
When you go to Clos Malverne restaurant’s website you’ll see the words “Food with a View.”
Wow. They weren’t kidding.
Since 2009, Clos Malverne Restaurant has been known for this view, as well as fresh, seasonal, contemporary cuisine prepared by Executive Chef Nadia Louw Smith and her team of expert chefs.
