Top Restaurants in Cape Town

Quality fresh ingredients are close at hand and for inspiration there's always the awesome scenery...

Two of the World's 50 Best Restaurants...

Two Cape restaurants feature on the "Best 50 Restaurants in The World" list (Restaurant Magazine, UK). In addition a good proportion of the winners of any of the South African restaurant awards are always Cape Town restaurants.

I rely on the Dine 2007 team for this list of Cape Town's top restaurants because I rate their editor Justine Drake highly. I have followed her career since she started out at Fair Lady magazine as a junior sub-something editor years ago.


Note to reader: I haven't eaten at any of these. To find out where my true gastronomic talents lie, click here!
