Cape Town - Where to eat

Cape Town has an extensive range of food on offer to suit all tastes. Take a look at our suggestions as a starting point

Savoy Cabbage - South African
101 Hout Lane,
City Bowl

The standard-bearer of the city's dining scene is still a great place to try contemporary cooking, including the chance to try local game meats such as zebra and wildebeest. Defiantly a place for the more adventurous appetite

Aubergine – International / Fusion
Barnet Street
Gardens

At Aubergine it's about the world-class food, rather than the wild party atmosphere common elsewhere. The innovative dishes, such as warthog confit or salmon trout ice-cream, are on the à la carte menu, but the degustation menu of old favourites such as prawn and fish sate on vegetable spaghetti or a sweet pumpkin soufflé can't be beaten.

Anatoli - Turkish
24 Napier Street
Green Point

This slice of Istanbul in Cape Town has been serving its tasty mezze both hot and cold for around 20 years. Built in what used to be an old brewery, it remains a very popular party spot and at the weekends you might even be treated to a belly dance.

Africa Café - African
108 Shortmarket Street
City Bowl

Age hasn't withered the Africa Café's appeal as the best place to sample African food. Come with a hearty appetite as the set feast comprises some 15 dishes from across the continent. The decor and friendly staff, who dance and sing through the restaurant, are equally fantastic.
