Cape Town Restaurants

Being a city that is surrounded by the ocean, it goes without saying that Cape Town specialises in seafood restaurants – crayfish from the Atlantic, giant prawns or the freshest sushi.

South African's also love their meat, so tuck into juicy steaks or try some truly African venison at one of Cape Town's restaurants. Not forgetting the freshest seasonal vegetables ripened in the warm Cape sun.

Everywhere you turn in Cape Town there's a restaurant combining new taste sensations with traditional twists.

Whatever tickles your taste buds and where ever you choose to eat – overlooking the ocean, the mountains or in the most contemporary surroundings - remember to wash it down with a local vintage from the nearby wine region.

"In winter the sun sets a little earlier, but the sunset is just as spectacular and the food is just as good, just at some surprisingly low prices and with friendlier waiters."
