Blanko is an Italian restaurant in The Alphen, a Cape Dutch heritage building in Constantia. You eat seasonal Italian dishes made with local ingredients, paired with South African wines from the cellar. The dining room has high ceilings, white tablecloths, and a collection of local art, while the terrace sits under oak trees.

The building is a provincial heritage monument, with historical artifacts throughout. The menu changes with the seasons but keeps Italian classics at its core. You can choose between the gallery-inspired interior or the shaded outdoor tables.

The Alphen's grounds have secure parking, and the restaurant is part of the Kove Collection of hospitality properties in Cape Town.
