The last month has been an emotional rollercoaster for patrons of the iconic Harlequin Restaurant in Parow.
The restaurant announced in early June it would be closing its doors. No reason as to why the restaurant was saying goodbye was given, but many online speculated it was due to a loss in profits.
However, the internet, at least the Northern Suburbs portion of it, has been buzzing with excitement after news that an investor came to its rescue.
First established in the late 60s, it’s spent nearly 57 years on Cape Town’s culinary scene with patrons near and far enjoying some of its popular Italian dishes.
The restaurant was set to close its doors on 1 July, but it seems hungry Capetonians may get another chance to enjoy a few of Harlequin’s dishes.
“Preserving history” has been many of the comments surrounding the restaurant’s doors remaining open, while others are keeping their fingers crossed that a makeover may be in the works.
