Since opening in 2016, Foxcroft has quietly gone about establishing itself as one of the city’s best small plate dining experiences. It’s been a decade of fine food from chef-proprietor Glen (whose middle name is Foxcroft) Williams, so perhaps it’s fitting that it’s now time for a change.
That comes in mid-January 2026, when the Foxcroft crew will close up the kitchen at High Constantia to move to a new venue in a heritage landmark in the southern suburbs.
And hungry locals will be pleased to know that they won’t have to travel far, with Foxcroft reopening in the historic Constantia Nek buildings on Constantia Nek Circle. The heritage building first opened as a tearoom in 1929 and was, until recently, home to La Parada and Harbour House.
With La Colombe just up the hill and Chefs Warehouse at Beau Constantia nearby, Constantia Nek is poised to become a hotbed of fine dining!
“While we have enjoyed our time at High Constantia, I have always wanted to get Foxcroft into a space with a view, whether it be on a farm or freestanding,” Williams told EatOut. “Our lease was coming up for renewal, and it just lined up perfectly with this opportunity at Constantia Nek. The building is a southern suburbs landmark, and it lends itself perfectly to the direction we are headed in.”
That direction will see Foxcroft up the ante in refinement. Previously, Foxcroft has been the more relaxed sibling within the La Colombe restaurant family, recognised for its seasonal small-plate menus, polished service, and fine dining without fuss. That balance has earned it two Eat Out stars and regular mentions in Time Out Cape Town’s list of the best restaurants in Cape Town.
With the move, Williams says he plans to make the experience even more refined by tweaking service and cuisine to match the landmark new location. Happily, there are also plans for a more casual offering on the Hout Bay side of the building. That could make for a very tasty option after a stroll through the Constantia forests!
But, that’s still to come. For now, you have just a few weeks left for the Foxcroft we’ve come to know and love.
Foxcroft will close its doors at High Constantia in mid-January 2026, before reopening in the historic Nek buildings just two weeks later. Reservations at the new location are now available from 1 February 2026.
