Must try Cape side restaurants

[Bliksis]

There is also Eastern Bazaar, i wouldnt go during the day cause CBD is a warzone from 7am - 6pm, but its a nice evening experience if you go after 7/8pm

Yeah Eastern Bazaar is awesome. I frequent that one often as well, even during the day LOL

 

[DapperDanMan]

As much as I wanna do Babel again it's fully booked (not surprised

Babylonstoren could soothe the wounds.

Then there's this treasure trove:

What are the 3 best restaurants you have ever visited?

Please share your top 3 restaurants in South Africa. It will be great if you can give the restaurant name and location (town or city) and the type of food they serve.

Thanks!

Actually started this thread because of that one

Didnt wanna sift through the Cape ones - will be phoning weekly for Babel but they have a R500-R1k dep reservation fee so I doubt any falling away

 

[Pegging]

So bit the bullet and got flights down to the Cape in early April. Haven't traveled in peak times in a while but need a holiday so is what it is.

We starting in Cape Town ending in Stellies before flying out.

As much as I wanna do Babel again it's fully booked (not surprised), done Le Petit Colomb. Added Cavalli to the list on the back of restaurants to try.

Looking for any other highly recommend must try places. Not only fine dining but we wanna hit Wes Kus to and likely have a really authentic seafood experience. No allergies here so none of those issues.

Hit me up with the recommendations pls

I'm not a fan of Babel myself. The grounds there are nice to walk through though.

For Stellies, if you haven't driven through Helshoogte pass there are a few nice places there.

- Indochine at Delaire Graff Estate - Lots of art to look at, good wine tasting. Not for poor people.
- Hillrest Berry orchard - Great for breakfast, haven't had lunch there yet. I usually buy 5kg of frozen berries there and other stuff.
- Alluvia Boutique Winery - not for poor people

A few other places to visit on Helshoogte.

Then when you get to Pniel, then there is Boschendal which is really nice.

Check it out on Google maps.

I've had food poisoning twice from there. Not a gamble I'm willing to take away anymore
