One of the things I love the most about The Poké Co is their commitment to using only the freshest ingredients. They source their seafood locally, ensuring that it’s always top-notch quality. And the best part is that you can customize your bowl to your heart’s content. You can choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces, creating a bowl that is perfect for you.
But it’s not just about the food at The Poké Co. The atmosphere is also fantastic. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, vibrant space that instantly puts you in a good mood.

Get ready for an explosion of flavor at this awesome new restaurant called The Poké Co!
Everybody knows that poké* is all the rage right now, especially here in Cape Town. It seems like every corner you turn, there’s a new place serving up delicious bowls of fresh fish and veggies. But let me tell you, there’s one place that stands above the rest. If you haven’t been there yet, you’re in for a treat. Allow me to introduce you to The Poké Co – the hottest new spot in town, located right on Kloof Street.
Now, you might be wondering why The Poké Co is so special. Well, let me tell you, it’s not just about the incredible food. It’s also about the passion and dedication of its founder, Andrew Flanagan. At only 32 years old, Andrew had the brilliant idea to bring his love for poké to the people of Cape Town. He started with a small location on Loop Street, and it was an instant hit. Soon after, he opened a second branch in Sea Point, which also became a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Andrew says, “Kloof Street is like the beating heart of Cape Town’s best shops and restaurants, so when we had the chance to become part of this vibrant community alongside awesome places like Molten Toffee and Unframed Ice Cream, we didn’t hesitate. The neighborhood is a hotspot for both locals and tourists, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”
In addition, we are thrilled to share that we are tickled pink about this new venture!
The restaurant’s simple and understated pink decor, complete with smooth edges and pink terrazzo countertops, creates a modern and trendy atmosphere. It’s perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a working lunch.
“Design is an integral part of our brand, and as we expand, we strive to constantly enhance this aspect. We aim to give each location its own unique touch while staying true to our core brand,” says Andrew.

From the cold-pressed juices that give you an instant pep in your step to the warm and comforting beverages that make you feel all fuzzy inside – they’ve got it all. Oh, and did I mention they have soft-serve ice cream? Yeah, they’re that cool. But wait, there’s more! They’ve even got something called sushi-rittos – imagine a burrito-sized sushi roll.

You know what I love about The Poké Co? They’re not just about making tasty food. They’ve got a bigger vision. They want to do good for your taste buds, your body, the community, and the environment. How awesome is that?
Now, let’s talk about the signature bowls – they’re the real deal. People can’t get enough of them! But here’s the thing – if you’re feeling adventurous, you can create your own bowl too! It’s super easy, just follow these steps:
1. Pick your base – sticky rice, kale and red cabbage, glass noodles, brown rice, or quinoa. You do you!
First, you’ll need to make some decisions. What base do you want for your poké bowl? You can choose from fresh salmon, tuna, tofu, prawn, shredded chicken, beef brisket, or eggplant.
Next, it’s time to select your toppings and dressings. Pick whichever ones you like the most to make your bowl truly delicious.
No matter what you decide, I promise you won’t be disappointed – or hungry. As Andrew says, “We’ve worked hard to create a dining experience that’s both quick and relaxed, where you feel comfortable and leave feeling inspired.”
