Guidebook for Cape Town
Food Scene
Best tapas in Cape Town and one of Amy's most favorite restaurants. It's excellent value for money as it's top-notch gourmet eating for a fraction of what you'd pay in other fine-dining eateries in Cape Town. Perfect for couples or pairs as menus are served for two. It's also where we had our first date!

Bernard's fave pizza in Cape Town - and he's a fussy customer :-) Take in the Bree street night life from the deck on warm evenings or cosy up inside on chilly evenings.

If you're heading to Franschhoek for a day trip of wine tasting, do book lunch at Foliage. The portions are generous, the food insanely good (the chef, Chris Erasmus, forages his own mushrooms, makes his own beer and is the most fabulous genius). This is gourmet-bistro style eating and they have an excellent wine menu too.

Really good coffee and chilled vibes. A cool little breakfast spot that also offers fresh juices. Amy often stops here for a coffee on her way to work.

Drinks & Nightlife
A great after-work drinks spot that turns into a bit of a party on the weekends, with a DJ. They also have great burgers and "braai" boards - traditional South African BBQ. Also a great selection of craft beers and wines. Pick a table out on the balcony for warm evenings or cosy up to the fireplace in winter.

This is our favorite bar for after-work drinks and olives. It's hipster, grungy, biker, but with incredible coffee and craft beer and they pride themselves on making the best Old Fashioned in the city! They also have cool live music nearly every night of the week.

The ultimate Beach Bar in Cape Town, The Grand has a full food menu, but we mostly go to hang out, drink some wine and cocktails and relax. It gets quite vibe at the weekends and they have guest DJs in the summer.
