This is our shortlist for where to go to maximize your time and hit as many Cape Town institutions as possible. Casual PlacesĪ trip to Cape Town usually involves lots of outdoor activities, which means you’ll sometimes need to fit in a casual meal before a tour or in between a hike and the beach. But instead of plates that were definitely constructed with tweezers, the food here can only be described as American carnival food with an Asian twist - things like barbecue pork belly with toasted coconut and deep-fried, skewered shrimp “prawn dogs.” They don’t take reservations, but you can wait for your table over beers at The House of Machines next door. The Commissary is a small, graffiti-covered space in the center of town from the same team as The Test Kitchen and The Potluck Club. Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner Date Night Dining Solo Eating At The Bar Small Plates Vegans Vegetarians Walk-Ins When you want a night off from the multi-course, multiple-hour fine dining spots, there’s a whole other category of places where Saffas (slang for South Africans) eat fantastic food in beautiful settings, but also wear ripped jeans and have friends “rock up” and take a seat halfway through. The nightly menu is kept a secret, but past highlights included curried lamb afval (tripe) with basmati rice foam or Saldanha Bay mussels with oyster emulsion and spicy vierge sauce. Pescatarians or vegetarians can just as happily enjoy a meal here, just make sure to let them know in advance. There are 20 seats, no menus, and only one seating time (7pm) when you’ll eat some of the best cuts of sustainably-sourced meat in the city. South Africans are serious about their braai (Afrikaans term for barbecue), and if you’re looking to try some creative takes on it, Belly of the Beast is the place to go. Perfect For: Fine Dining Impressing Out of Towners Special Occasions Unique Dining Experience Vegans Vegetarians Most places offer seven or more courses for less money than you’d pay for a boozy airport meal and the food typically involves creative twists on South African dishes with indigenous ingredients that you just don’t see anywhere else. The South African fine dining scene is unique - there are tons of options and they’re way more accessible than you might expect. We have you covered with the best restaurants, bars, wineries, and markets to check out on your next trip. Which shouldn’t be too hard with the average bottle of wine here coming in at 60 rand (under four dollars).īut if you’re anything like us, along with figuring out where to stay (Camps Bay or Kloof Street) and where to explore (Gardens, Woodstock, and the Seaboard instead of the very-touristy Waterfront and Camps Bay Strip), you’ll want to know where to eat. So sometimes it feels like a much bigger place than it really is - but there aren’t a lot of ways to do Cape Town wrong as long as you follow these two rules: plan your days around sunrise and sunset, and never miss a meal.įor the first part of that, make sure to have “sundowners,” sunset drinks and snacks with friends at a scenic overlook, as frequently as possible. Bonus materials include over thirty pages of encounters and world detail for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, and a poster map.Cape Town has towering mountains and scenery so unbelievable it looks like another planet.
