Corn tortillas with pulled short rib at The Winchester Hotel in Sea Point, which just underwent a $5 million restoration!
There’s something dangerous about Cape Town’s food scene. Dangerous because once you start eating, you can’t stop. As Julia Child warned, “People who love to eat are always the best people.” In Cape Town, they’re also the happiest. Cape Town has been crowned Africa’s Leading Culinary Destination five years running and named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 20 Food Cities on Earth. Over 1,000 restaurants compete for your attention — and your appetite.
Here are some more of my favorite food spots:
