Best Restaurants in Cape Town
A curated guide to the best restaurants in Cape Town — from iconic local institutions to under-the-radar spots worth crossing the city for.
Where to eat in Cape Town
La Colombe
One of Africa's best restaurants, set in the Constantia winelands. The tuna tataki dome is their signature — a beautiful glass sphere of flavour. The tasting menu is remarkable value for the quality.
The Pot Luck Club
Luke Dale-Roberts' casual rooftop restaurant in the Old Biscuit Mill, Woodstock. Asian-inspired sharing plates with spectacular views of Devil's Peak. The pork belly bao is addictive.
Harbour House Kalk Bay
Right on the harbour wall in Kalk Bay with waves literally crashing against the windows. The yellowtail sashimi is caught metres away and the seafood platter is the freshest you'll find in Cape Town.
Kloof Street House
A Victorian mansion turned restaurant in Gardens with a secret garden terrace. The springbok loin is perfectly pink and the desserts are outstanding. Date-night perfection.
Chefs Warehouse at Beau Constantia
A stunning wine estate restaurant with panoramic views over False Bay. No menu — the chef sends out multiple courses of creative tapas. Every dish is a surprise and the wine pairings are stellar.
Mzansi
Chef Mmabatho Molefe's celebration of South African cuisine — from Cape Malay curry to Zulu beef stew. The food tells the story of the country's diverse food cultures. A deeply meaningful dining experience.
Belly of the Beast
A tiny, intimate restaurant in the City Bowl with an ever-changing multi-course menu. The duo behind it source obsessively and cook with incredible precision. Book well in advance — only 22 seats.
Ash Restaurant
In the city centre with views of Table Mountain, this wood-fire focused restaurant does exceptional steaks and grilled seafood. The bone marrow starter and the braai-smoked lamb are standouts.
