Cape Town Gourmet Restaurants

Custom Search

Here is the official Eat Out list of Cape Town gourmet restaurants including those in the Winelands.

I don't have the ability to judge restaurants of this calibre!
(click here to see my take on restaurant guides for Cape Town and the Winelands ;o))

To make up for my lack of expertise I have mined the expertise of the Eat Out 2009/10 team.

These are the Cape restaurants that made the Top 10 countrywide on their list, compiled after extensive review by their panel of expert judges.
