Best Cape Town Restaurants
I'm always being asked "What are your best Cape Town restaurants?" Finally I'm throwing caution to the winds and nailing my colours to the mast!
There are many reasons why a restaurant makes it onto our 'best' list. Take a look at
how we decide what to include in our restaurant guide...
If you’re something of a ‘foodie’ you may want an official critics list (just 8 choices!) of the
top restaurants in Cape Town.
And for the dedicated gourmet wanting to venture farther afield, here's an exhaustive critics' list for
top restaurants in Cape Town and the Winelands for 2007!

This is the 'every person' guide to Cape Town restaurants! Every place on this list has a great memory attached, offers a unique Cape Town experience, and of course great food :o)
Cape to Cuba, Kalk Bay
- fascinating and unique - great for romance. Flamenco dancers every Wednesday night, it's sooo Cuban! (Alas no under 12's please) Main Road, Kalk Bay, Cape Town. Tel: 27 21 788 1566 Blues Cape Town - Camps Bay contemporary, flapping-fresh seafood. We had dinner here the night we got engaged... need I say more? The Promenade, Victoria Road, Camps Bay, Cape Town. Tel: 27 21 438 2040
Feedback from recent diners there indicates that Blues' standards may have slipped. So I'm not recommending them till I've had the chance to check that for myself... Sorry!
Wild Fig Restaurant, Observatory - close to home for us, this Olde Cape style spot (clay tiled floors and a wonderful courtyard under an enormous shady fig tree) serves crispy duck to die for. Liesbeeck Avenue, Observatory, Cape Town. Tel: 27 21 448 0507 Moyo, Stellenbosch - a bit of North Africa and a bit of South. Although Spier is not my favourite place, Moyo qualifies for our list beacuse it has a unique and special ambience. R310 Lynedoch Road, Stellenbosch. Tel +27 21 809 1133 SHE'S BACK! Madame Zingara's Theatre of Dreams This was my sister-in-law's recent choice for an anniversary dinner to remember. Don't take the kids! In an authentic turn-of-the-century circus tent, complete with cabaret-style shenanigans and a four course meal, this is one of the greats when it comes to restaurants in Cape Town.
Now at Century City, just behind Ratanga Junction! Tel: +27 21 426 2458 You can book for 'her' NEW show by dialling 0861 MADAME :o)
