Dining and Bars
Cape Town offers a unique opportunity to taste the food from across the African continent, such as Xhosa and marog (African spinach), injeras (flatbreads) from Ethiopia, or samosas, lamb denningvleis, amangina (chicken feet) or smileys (sheep’s heads) typical of Cape Malay cuisine. African shores are home to some of the world’s finest tuna, plentiful portions of prawns uniquely delicious when ordered peri-peri, and you should definitely not miss the chance to taste yellowtail or cob whenever on offer.
Cape Town's best dining is located around the central city. Jardine offers subtle flavours and dishes such as tender Chalmar beef fillet with oxtail and tomatoey crayfish risotto, Bizerca Bistro serves classics with a twist prepared by award-winning chef Laurent Deslandes, and an equally renowned chef Luke Dale-Roberts wows the guest at La Colombe with treats like springbok medallions with celeriac purée in a rich port and truffle sauce.
Entertainment
We’re talking Cape Town, so there’s always an abundance of interesting events to take part in, be it concerts of world-renowned performers, dance and comedy shows. Long Street is the party place where you’ll find bars like Julep which serves a spectacular selection of cocktails, a craft beer lover’s dream Beer House serving close to 100 local and international beers, Cuban-themed Café Mojito, and highly popular club and bar The Waiting Room.
During the day unwind and relax at one of secluded sandy shores like those of Beta Beach, Oudekraal, Smitswinkelbaai or Tietiesbaai. Catch a cable car up Table Mountain to admire the breathtaking views, visit the Ocean Aquarium to get up close & personal with ocean predators such as ragged tooth sharks and blue stingrays, or take a lesson in South African history by visiting Robben Island and the award-winning District Six Museum. A visit to the Pan African Market or Greenmarket Square offers an opportunity to take home a piece of old folk art and other African mementos after an enjoyable session of real-deal bargaining.
