AUBERGINE

World cuisine restaurant €€
4/5
1 review

Housed in a historic colonial house, L'Aubergine is a renowned restaurant in Cape Town. The chef offers gourmet cuisine made with spicy South African ingredients and oriental flavours. A real success! Accurate cooking, strong flavours, airy sauces: the know-how of a great house and a sommelier's wine list. The chef does not rest on his laurels and is constantly concocting new dishes, including a lamb dish alongside strudel! Wide choice of vegetarian dishes. And we haven't said anything about the swimming pool in the garden!

THE POT LUCK CLUB

World cuisine restaurant €€
2/5
2 reviews

After the Test Kitchen, Salsify and Shortmarket Grill, Chef Luke Dale-Roberts opened The Pot Luck Club at the Old Biscuit Mill. A totally different concept, the idea is to share tapas around the table from 5 types of Asian fusion dishes. The "umami", which means "tasty" in Japanese, is one of the five basic flavours: sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Dig into the menu and discover new flavours of ultra-sophisticated and transformed cuisine. A gastronomic table not to be missed.

All along Reuben's vast lengthwise hall, skylights are revealed through the high arched windows. This unpretentious but renowned restaurant serves light and delicious meals. From seafood tacos to fresh oysters, chicken curry or smoked ribs, all the classics are reinvented in the hands of the cooks at the Chamonix Wine Estate brasserie. If you don't know where to have lunch, try it, you won't be disappointed, that's for sure. Don't forget to make a reservation.

5/5
1 review

The restaurant of Carolize Coetzee, one of the country's most promising chefs, located in the prestigious Tokara, an estate with a contemporary, almost futuristic design! Her menu changes with the seasons, with daily specials each more creative than the last. For starters, try the roasted Jerusalem artichoke with red bell pepper and sun-dried tomato sauce. For the main course, the appetizing smoked duck breast with spinach, pomegranate and marsala jus has already satisfied many a Tokara connoisseur's palate.

BOMBAY BRASSERIE

Indian restaurant €€€
5/5
1 review

Housed in very chic Taj palace, Bombay Brasserie is an excellent Indian restaurant. Refined cuisine and flavoured including inevitable Chicken Tikka Massala, but especially imaginative combinations mixing Indian spices and ingredients, as well as local. The main dishes and menus are listed in “vegetarian” and “vegetarian” leaving to a range of dishes without meat or fish. Corn soup is a delight. The lights are dimmed, the intimate atmosphere, a little ceremonious services, salted prices, but the very fine cuisine.

The best restaurant in Bo Kaap for the malaysian gastronomy. This community down from the Asian slaves of cape combines oriental flavours with India and southeast Asia with the african ingredients.

BELUGA

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€
4/5
2 reviews

Beluga is the name of a large grain caviar that can be ordered in this renowned restaurant in Cape Town. Very fashionable, he has already welcomed Bill Clinton, Samuel L. Jackson and Tiger Woods. The lighting is soft and the romantic atmosphere. Some of the rooms offer a bit of a overrated atmosphere, but the fusion kitchen is tasty. Cocktails and sushi at half price before.

A restaurant installed in a superb estate, we cross the vineyards to reach the castle famous for its red wines, and in particular its remarkable Syrah. At The Spice Route, local cuisine is served with a variety of local wines, or you can enjoy the pizza and burger bar. The large terrace opens onto the surrounding landscape, with fields, vineyards and mountains in the distance. It's so nice to live in the open air! There is also a chocolate factory and a bar where you can buy different types of biltongs and dried meat.

DEN ANKER

Belgian restaurant €€
4/5
1 review

A Belgian restaurant must serve good mussels, and this one honours the tradition! The sunny terrace at the water's edge is very pleasant and offers an absolutely superb view of Table Mountain. Den Anker also has a very nice collection of Belgian beers in bottles and on draught, but also in the form of a tasting. And what else? Norman fish soup, tartars, marrow bones, Belgian chocolates. A detour into the bonhomie of the flat country, but all under the sun of beautiful Cape Town.

ADDIS IN CAPE

World cuisine restaurant €€
4/5
1 review

An Ethiopian restaurant, that's a change from steak houses. The flavours of this country, known for being spicy and rich in aromatic herbs, are here revisited in an Eastern, Western and African way. The dishes, which are eaten with the fingers, are served on pretty traditional tables called "mesob". There is a wide choice of vegetarian dishes. The service is slow, but the cuisine is fantastic. Be careful, the spicy dishes are very strong. Ask for "mild" if you are not used to it, and it is already more than spicy enough, believe us!

LE BON VIVANT

Dutch restaurant

A large terrace on the brick paving stones and under the porch, but above all, inside, besides the beautiful parquet floor and the fireplace that warms the atmosphere: an almost open kitchen where you can see the cooks at work! We love to see the artists working on our plates! Pierre, of Dutch origin, is a lover of good food, the bon vivant, that's him. He will even let you taste his specialities in the garden of the establishment if you wish. The dishes are as beautiful and fresh as they are delicate and delicious.

CAPE TO CUBA

Cuban restaurant €€

Located on the waterfront, this restaurant is an epic in the Cuban universe, you'd think! Thanks to the music of Buena Vista Social Club, Che's posters, Cuban cigars and Spanish colonial furniture... Not to mention the many green plants and richly carved woodwork from floor to ceiling. On one side a kitschy and colourful decoration, delirious and splendid, one is plunged into another world for the restaurant, and on the other side sand between the toes and mojitos. On the plates, original and succulent combinations like chicken mojitos.

THE FOODBARN

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€

Between delicatessen, gastronomic bistro and chic picnic, the best French chef's den in the southern Karoo is called the Foodbarn. Franck left the kitchens of the prestigious but stuffy restaurant La Colombe, in Constantia, to open his more convivial and experimental restaurant. This passionate man gives free rein to all his fantasies, and it's all the better for us. The Bistro menu, which changes according to the season, remains affordable. After your meal, you can visit the Foodbarn's delicatessen. Homemade breads, pastries.

THE THREE WISE MONKEYS

Asian cuisine restaurant

At Sea Point, the hip and arty spot, with good groovy music, a few tables and an open counter on the street, offers a Japanese-inspired menu, some classic sushi and rāmen, those famous Japanese noodles, as well as kushiyaki "on the grill." We come mostly for the rāmen. A choice of two with beef and one with mushrooms. The vegetarian then: the shitake dashi & miso broth is good, the sushi correct without more. It is not the Japanese authenticity but more the Capetonian trendiness that we come here to look for.

You can accompany your tapas with interesting Mexican tequila cocktails like the Mexican Mule (tequila, ginger ale, squeezed lime juice), a Mexican beer or even a little mezcal for the amateurs.
