Top Ten

Woohoo. I have been writing this blog since January and this is my 100th blog post. I thought it would be fun to do something special to celebrate so here is a list of my favorite spots (not in any order). I am going to make a page of this blogpost and update it as I discover new amazing spots.

In Cape Town and surrounds:

Casual lunch: The Kitchen- vegetarian delights in down to earth setting

Seafood with a view: Live Bait - casual seafood restaurant right on the sea at Kalk Bay harbour. Short focused menu. Amazing paprika calamari. The Harbour House upstairs is a slightly fancier treat.

Fine dining treat: Roundhouse - fancy food, interesting wines with a view. Also the best breakfast around.

Best pizza: Massimo’s- beautiful wood fired pizza with a warm welcome.

Biscuit Mill Market- a must for any foodie visitor in Cape Town. Beautiful people shopping, munching and drinking  to mellow jazzy tunes every Saturday.

Further away:

Daytrip lunch: Bar bar black sheep – funky little courtyard restaurant with mismatched tables and quirky food and interesting local wine. About an hour from CT in the Swartland.

Winelands fine dining: Overture-beautiful food with a spectacular view at Hidden Valley estate.

Winelands interesting food: Babel- innovative vegetarian food out of the garden

Winelands off the beaten track: The Table at de Meye. Rustic locally sourced food to share in a down to earth cozy setting.

Weekend away foodie treat: Gaatjie- tiny restaurant where west coast ingredients are cooked up with finesse. In Paternoster, a small fishing village 2.5 hours from Cape Town (this was the last stop on our drive from London to Cape Town). Stay at Suzi’s Salt Coast B&B down the road.
