Have you ever eaten in Cape Town? You know how difficult it is to pick a favorite here.
Be it the award-winning dining places or the humble local eateries, it’s rare to find a bad meal in the city.
Also, there is so much variety in the South African delicacies Cape Town has to offer. Now, Braai, or the South African style BBQ, absolutely rules the food scene. Even TasteAtlas rates it a 4.3 out of 5.
You can even try Hoenderpastei, a savory pastry, Biltong, a cured beef snack, and the spicy Chakalaka stew.
So, it takes around a month, and to take a break from the rest of the world to understand the basics of the local food. And we did that!
A good problem to have here is the choice of so many eating places. But the same can also be overwhelming when you are on a short trip.
So, to make your life easier, I have discussed the best restaurants Cape Town has. Let’s eat!
What Are The Best Restaurants Cape Town Has? Here Are My Favorites
Sustainable choices have always been important when it comes to food in Cape Town. Also, the history of the Cape Town CBD is incomplete without knowing the local food.
In 2022, the Economic Development Partnership had a walking tour of the food history, in association with SA Urban Food and Farming Trust and Food Dialogues 2022.
On this occasion, Andrew Boraine, CEO of the Economic Development Partnership, quoted Tony Karon, a celebrated writer and editor. He said,
“While it’s tempting to read South African cuisine simply as some kind of melting pot of the influences brought by those who migrated to the country, many of the country’s most notable and tasty dishes reflect histories of violent conquest, enslavement, and oppression.
But even as post-apartheid South Africa remains locked in an unfinished struggle to digest and resolve the consequences of its troubled history … its cuisine reflects the common humanity of its citizenry: their search for succour and comfort, identity, communion, and hope for a better day.”
So, knowing Cape Town and the food here is incomplete without discussing the local facilities in detail. Precisely, that’s why I will start my list with the local bests.
Also, I have divided my favorites into five sections.
The Lekker And Local
Where To Have The Best International Cuisines In Cape Town
Fish And Seafood Restaurants
Fine Dining Restaurants In Cape Town
Out Of Town Restaurants That Are Worth The Trip
1. The Lekker And Local
I have been doing a lot of food tours. From the spicy Tamilian and coastal cuisine of Jaffna to the soulful Luang Prabang food tour, these have been my ways of connecting with the local culture.
Local produce, South African flavors, and the most beloved chefs in the city – don’t miss out on these ‘lekker’ Cape Town restaurants.
Seebamboes, despite being new to the Cape Town food scene, has made a name for itself. Neil Swart and Anouchka Horn, the team behind GALJOEN and Belly of the Beast, have started it.
Surf and turf or a one-on-one between the sea and the land! This is how the owners have planned Seebamboes. The name itself is an extension of the theme.
You may call Surf and Turf old-fashioned, but I loved the surprise factor here. The flatbed with the octopus was amazing. It was perfectly charred and tender enough to cut with a fork. It was served on a flatbread that soaked up all the smoky juices.
Furthermore, the seaweed margarita marks the ideal start to your culinary journey here.
Also, keeping at its sustainable core, the restaurant serves abalobi sashimi. Abalobi in South Africa helps the small-scale fisheries in the country. So, it cannot get more sustainable or local.
Do you think that’s the end of it? Have some watermelon ice-lolly to cleanse your palette and try venison tataki with mussels. The dish comes with steamed dune cabbage. The steaming is done in a hollow seebamboos stem.
Moreover, the Surf and Turf theme is also present in the dessert served by the restaurant. An ice cream sandwich with a sea lettuce dust! Yes, this is what you get here.
Upper Union is my favorite as it is a welcome break at Kloof Street. The house is beautiful, and so is the conservatory and courtyard.
Burnt aubergine yogurt and duckpastilla were the small plates we tried here. Though these did not replicate the authentic Moroccan food magic, they had the Cape Town touch I was looking for.
I think they did complete justice with their “creative and curious” concept. Also, the whimsical presentation may be a part of it.
The Urfa Biber Kingklip was a standout, and I also loved the Puglia burrata with flatbread. If you want something more authentic, order the ox tongue.
Ever since Chef’s Warehouse & Canteen made a comeback, it has been ruling the pork dumpling scene in Cape Town.
Also, the venison tartare and pork belly with charred corn salsa are two other favorites here. And? Don’t leave the restaurant without having the Chefs Warehouse Risotto.
The vibe of Hemelhuijs more than makes up for its location in the old part of Cape Town. The outside table is a place where you can be if you want to be here for some time, unfazed by the growing crowd.
Two or three locals came up to me and asked for money! That’s okay, and this does not take away the charm of the place.
The rice paper summer rolls were the highlights for me here. These had grapefruit, smoked trout, and crab filling. Another great dish was the panko-crusted artichokes.
I would have tried some other dishes here, but it was getting too crowded, and the introvert in me uttered, “Let’s leave now!”
Though Elgar is on my list of the best local restaurants in Cape Town, it could also make it to the international section.
Why? For the perfect fusion of South African and Nordic flavors. Yes, Chef Jesper Nilsson has made this possible.
I loved the Boquerones, Nduja, and Ricotta the most here. I was so full, but I could not let the chocolate sorbet with olive oil go.
Also, I have heard great things about the cocktails here. But I hope I will make it the next time!
• Blondie Bar
I loved the effortlessness of the Blondie Bar. It was not trying to fit in, and the whole concept is quite new to Cape Town.
You can find the signature Brandy & Coke here, and the grapefruit ouzi slushies were the perfect summer refreshment we were looking for.
We had a whole roasted cauliflower there with tahini, and the trout we had was simple and amazing. However, for me, the baked and stuffed lamb pita was the ultimate.
Massimo’s has the best pizza in Cape Town, and it is a Hout Bay classic! You can also try various gluten-free versions of the pizzas. Of course, the salads and pastas here are great.
You can even try the pan-fried fish of the day.
However, Massimo’s is beyond a place to eat. It is one of the best pet-friendly restaurants in Cape Town, allowing dogs on leash. It has a dedicated vegan menu to make the food scene more inclusive.
Moreover, every time you have food here, a certain percentage goes to charity. Can it get cooler than this?
2. Where To Have The Best International Cuisines In Cape Town?
The food scene in Cape Town is truly international. With the Cape Malay influence at the core, it has bobotie, spices, and curries ruling the scenario.
Also, the seafood scene is ruled by the specialty from Mauritius and Saldanha Bay, along with local produce. The techniques are the perfect fusion of local and international techniques.
Want to cherish the international food scene? Eat at these places.
The name of the restaurant says it all! Along with the elegant setting, the cocktails and food here really up the game.
The classics, concoctions, and cocktails with pisco will win over any connoisseur.
Regarding the food, the restaurant keeps an element of surprise, in fact. Okamase, or the chef is going to do the real experiment, is the best way to eat here. However, you can also try the à la carte options.
The portion size here is great, and it is ideal for two people sharing. And the dishes to try here?
Lamb chops, fried tofu sushi, tuna ceviche, crispy squid, edamame! The list is endless, and you must end your meal with a matcha cheesecake.
New to a place? The safest option to try? Pasta, of course.
So, I knew that Scala Pasta Bar was the first place I was going to visit. One of the best restaurants Cape Town has, actually the best for having pasta, is the Bay of Justin Barker and Luciano Monosilio.
And let me warn you! If your pants are too tightly fitted, you may need to open them halfway. So, wear something loose-fitted and allow yourself to have the ultimate foodgasm.
Even if you are struggling with your pants, the dim lighting will be your savior. Nobody cares either, as they will anyway look for another bite.
The pasta served here has the homemade comfort, and the Negronis are the perfect companions. Have the pastas for breakfast, lunch, and anytime you want!
Also, if you are here in the evening, try prawn crudo with tomato consommé, beef tartare, sardines, and antipasti. The meatballs could have been a little better, though, for the texture I like.
A prominent name in the list of the World’s 50 best restaurants, Ouzeri is a Greek food paradise in Cape Town.
The white-washed walls of the restaurant add to the restaurant’s Greek vibe, and if you ask me, you must start with the Pewter carafe barrel wine and cherish the taste of the Swartland. Also, if you love Negronis, try the pepper Negronis brewed with sour cherries.
Furthermore, the dishes here may be Cypriot and Greek, but the ingredients used are native. Chef Nic Charalambous has inherited some of the recipes from his Cypriot grandparents.
The aubergine dish, the dumplings, and the tuna carpaccio are the stars here. However, my absolute favorite was the pork belly skewer.
Also, if you are a vegetarian, don’t forget to try the complex combination of whipped feta, hibiscus vinegar, dill oil, and green tomatoes.
Moreover, if you want to keep the mains simple, try some Namibian crab with ravioli. Wear your pants a little looser, and you are going to have a lot of food.
• Carne
It was love at first bite for the tortellini I had at Carne. Italian pasta, quality cuts, and a dream spread for a carnivore! This is what Girgio Nova, a Milanese chef, offers at Carne.
I went to the Kloof Street restaurant to soak in the neighborhood feel, along with the great food. Also, I had a local intel that this branch is less crowded than the Keerom Street one.
Also, if you are here in the evening and it is wind-free, sit on the patio and enjoy your time with bistecca and fries.
Moreover, it’s a sin not to try the chocolate fondant here.
• Curry Club
Curry Club is one of the best restaurants Cape Town has for the food it serves and the journey it has had.
2020! The whole world was fighting against COVID-19, and then the Curry Club began its journey. It started as a “cook in your garage” service delivering food.
Furthermore, the London-style Punjabi flight kitchen concept of the restaurant is run by a team from Mumbai and led by a London owner.
I had amazing goat curry with rice here, and the interior is very colorful, reminding me of the place I belong!
Love tacos? Cape Town impresses you with El Burro Taqueria. However, it’s not just about tacos; you can have margaritas, ceviche, and everything Mexican here.
The tortillas here are hand-pressed, and all the items are prepared and cooked fresh.
Bao and wine on a table, and a perfect Sunday afternoon with friends! This is what you will get at TJING TJING TORII.
It has been a seriously cool rooftop bar for the longest time. This time, it makes a name for itself as a restaurant with its Japanese street-style specials like gyoza and bao.
• Bao Down
The Korean fried chicken baos and prawn toast were the best things that happened to me at Bo Down.
You can also try the cauliflower cake here. The setting is simple and easy-going.
3. Fish And Seafood Restaurants In Cape Town
Oysters, Yellowfin Tuna, and Kingklip are the stars of the seafood scene in Cape Town. The flavors are subtle, and the texture is firm.
These are some of the best restaurants Cape Town has for trying seafood and coastal cuisine.
• Sea Breeze Fish & Shell
You know what to expect when a restaurant has “Fish & Shell” in its name. The various oysters on a platter and the mussels in Cape Malay sauce make you smell the sea in every bite. The ceviche, served with crackers here, also deserves a big shoutout!
If the wind is not too strong, you must sit outside. Also, for the most immersive experience, you must explore their “MCC & Oyster Bar.”
I know the prices are high. However, it’s a standard for all V&A Waterfront restaurants. The dining room downstairs is huge. However, the deck upstairs is great for some sushi and chilled rosé.
Enjoy the sunshine kissing your face.
The fish served here is the best. You will love kingklip, salmon, and swordfish here, and it also has a cool sushi bar.
4. Fine Dining Restaurants In Cape Town
Cape Town caters to foodies from all over the world. Here are some fine dining restaurants that serve you the best Cape Town has to offer.
V&A Waterfront restaurants are great, but the price is always very high. Terrarium, the newest to join the brigade, however, is looking to change things.
The food at this restaurant, located at the Queen Victoria Hotel, under the leadership of chef Chris Erasmus, brings out the best of the local and seasonal ingredients.
It has distinct flora and fauna menus. So, vegetarians and vegans? You know where to be in Cape Town for fine dining.
The roasted Venison loin is an absolute delicacy here from the Fauna menu. I also loved the oysters with pickle juice mignonette. Furthermore, from the Flora menu, you must try the crispy fried artichoke hearts and charred cauliflower parfait.
Also, one silent favorite! Whatever you have for the mains, you must start your day with the mushroom starters.
I will always drool over the red blends and Pinot Noir here. Try some Shiraz, Cassis, and Cabernet Fragrant here.
Salsify at the Roundhouse, formerly the Roundhouse, stands out for me for its incredible setting. And also, the Pinot Noir I had there will always be the benchmark for me.
It is not just one of the best restaurants Cape Town has. It is also a placeholder in the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. And anyone who has tried the deep-fried octopus or the buttermilk curd with leeks here would know why there is so much craze around this restaurant.
I found a table by the windows to enjoy the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, its setting in an old hunting house with an adjacent garden creates a perfect nostalgic ambience.
Furthermore, the winner of the Luxe Restaurant Awards 2025, Salsify, has crayfish, celery and tomato, Karoo lamb rib and loin, and trout. You can pair your food with the signature wine or the collector’s wine.
Moreover, it is the winner of 3 stars from the Eat Out Woolworths Restaurant Awards for its oceanfront foraging.
Jane Broughton reviews the FYN Restaurant for Conde Nast Traveler. And Jane reviews
“A little piece of Manhattan in Cape Town, Fyn is a cutting-edge space on the fifth floor of a repurposed building just off historic Church Square. A glass wall ensures that views of Table Mountain and Lion’s Head are sensational.”
Also, FYN has risen above the label of a Cape Town restaurant by making it to the list of the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants.” However, the restaurant bears Cape Town in its heart as it is heavily inspired by the fynbos, a biodiverse plant kingdom in the Cape region.
Furthermore, it has won three stars from the Eat Out Woolworths Restaurant Awards for its wonderful Japanese and Asian fusion.
Here is a contemporary presentation and feel. Try specialties such as Cape Point Tuna Fin-to-Tail, garlic buchu, sea lettuce, and octopus, and amazake are the stars of the menu here.
La Colombe is the place for ultimate indulgence in Cape Town. Between Constantia and Hout Bay, it is at the Silvermist Estate.
The setting is sleek, and the menu is diverse, including various vegetarian options.
And everything else is just as the Executive Chef, James Gaag, says, “Food is our Theatre/We hope you enjoy the show.”
From Bacon Chawanmushi and smoked boar to coal-fired lamb and Namibian red crab! The menu is eclectic, and the Chef’s special vegetarian section has Smoked porcini broth, beet root “La Colombe,” tandoori cauliflower, and whatnot!
5. Out-Of-Town Restaurants That Are Worth The Trip
Good food is not just in Cape Town. Also, it’s important to give the neon energy of the city to give a miss to immerse oneself into the culinary soul and beautiful landscapes.
Furthermore, when local sourcing and sustainability are the philosophies you believe in, the food landscape of Cape Town CBD is made possible by out-of-town restaurants that embrace a Farm-to-Fork culture.
For example, restaurants such as Babel at Babylonstoren have their own pantries, and the restaurant is located in the middle of the pantry.
More, you can really have a long and lazy lunch here. Start at 12 PM, gossip your heart out, and it’s 4 PM in a blink. Nobody is going to tell you to get up.
Here are a few of my favorites.
• The Beach House Restaurant
You will find this newbie on the block on the way from Cape Town to Kraalbai in the West Coast National Park.
The team behind the fine-dining excellence at Dusk runs the Beach House Restaurant. It overlooks the Yzerfontein Beach, and among the guests, you will see a mix of guests in their wetsuits, lines, and loafers.
Also, you will find all the beach classics here. You will love the fish and chips, fish ceviche, fresh oysters, and amazing seafood platters.
To savor your food better, you can have it with a margarita or a chilled rosé.
The service here is great. However, if you are visiting on weekends or need the patio for you and your friends, you must reserve early.
Babel at Babylonstoren is THE best in the winelands. Everything on the menu is from the Babylonstoren gardens, and the restaurant is in the middle of the garden.
Vegetable dishes are the stars of the menu here. The meat and fish delicacies are equally good. My experience was exactly what Sarah Khan of Bon Appétit had to say about the restaurant.
“Eat, drink, and garden your heart out at Babylonstoren, one of the great food lover’s vacations in the world right now.”
Obviously, you must try their herbal and non-alcoholic mix and wine. You can even take a tour of the cellar.
Overall, Babel at Babylonstoren is not a restaurant; it is a wholesome experience. However, pre-booking is essential.
• The Foodbarn Café & Tapas
The Foodbarn is a quiet presence in the list of the best restaurants Cape Town. It is in a quaint barn in Noordhoek. Also, it never hogs the publicity.
Furthermore, the food here is amazing. I have never (and I mean it!) been to any restaurant that turns simple oysters into something magical on a plate.
Equally good was the mushroom ravioli, and the baked cheesecake was the chef’s kiss. Each time I mention it, I crave it.

Oktoberfest is officially back! People from all over the world resumed drinking, singing, eating, and celebrating in Munich this year.
Days of joy are here again. Indeed, the world is slowly adjusting to the new normal. Today is not too early to prepare for next year’s Oktoberfest.
To prepare, you need to be aware that there are some things to avoid at Oktoberfest and some things to enjoy fully! Read on, learn, and get ready for your Oktoberfest holiday!
The History Of Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest has been around for over two hundred years. The very first Oktoberfest was celebrated in 1810. It was not originally a beer festival. The very first Oktoberfest is a celebration of the marriage of the prince of Bavaria, King Louis, and Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, the German princess.
To this day, the ground where Oktoberfest is celebrated is called Theresienwiese in honor of Princess Therese. If you are in Munich, only searching with the Oktoberfest near me will give you the directions to reaching the festival destination place.
The celebration was enjoyed by many, so they decided to make it an annual event. It was in the late 19th century that beer and sausages were served. It was then that it slowly became a beer festival.
Years of serving good beer at large amounts for days, combined with good food and non-stop merrymaking, made Oktoberfest the biggest beer festival in the world. So big that it draws in an average of 6 million visitors every year. This year, despite two years of cancellation, it still drew a whopping number of 5.7 million guests.
The Main Attraction: Oktoberfest Beer
If there is one thing, though, that Oktoberfest is truly known for, it would have to be its beer. Oktoberfest is the legendary festival that it is because it is the only beer festival that can serve over 7 million liters of beer effortlessly.
And not just that, it can also serve over 95,000 liters of wine. This is why people from all over the world know that Oktoberfest always offers a good time.
Oktoberfest can serve millions of liters of beer because it has a specialized system. For one, only beer from Munich breweries can be served during the festival. And not just any Munich brewery.
These are breweries that are exclusively approved by the government: Hacker-Pschorr, Augustiner, Löwenbräu, Hofbräu, Spaten, and Paulaner. These breweries begin their preparation as early as March.
Beer And Oktoberfest Outfit A Perfect Snap Each beer served by the exclusive six breweries passes the Reinheitsgebot, which requires a beer to have a minimum of 13.5% Stammwürze or around 6% alcohol. The beer must also pass the purity test. The purity test requires that a beer is only made of barley, water, yeast, hops, cane sugar, and/or wheat malt. All beer is also only brewed within Munich’s city limits. This strict protocol makes Oktoberfest beer sought-after and extra special.
Oktoberfest Food
Oktoberfest is the grand festival that is not only because of beer but because of the food that it serves. People from all over the world go to Munich and celebrate Oktoberfest because it’s the fun, dedicated period where they can enjoy delicious and hearty Bavarian foods with premium Munich beer!
The foods of Oktoberfest Cleveland that you should definitely check out during the festivities are as follows:
Pork Schnitzel
Spaetzle
German Potato Salad
Homemade Soft Pretzels
Lebkuchen
Lemon Spezi
Potato Pancakes
Traditional German Rotkohl
Bratwurst and Sauerkraut with Apples and Onions
Oktoberfest DOs And DON’Ts
To ensure that you enjoy Oktoberfest in the best ways possible, please do not do the following:
Never stand on tables. This will be the easiest way to get the attention of security guards. This will also be the easiest way to get dragged out of tents if you’d be totally chaotic.
Do not expect change. Tents are hectic. All excess payments are deemed as tips.
Do not opt for cute-looking gingerbread hearts if you want something sweet. Look for a Kaiserschmarrn instead.
Don’t put off booking. Hotels can get full easily as Oktoberfest tends to millions of visitors.
Don’t get shocked when you see people snort stuff. Tobacco sniffing is common in Bavaria.
Do not bring your own car. Parking will be a nightmare. Looking for a place to park will take too much of your time when you can enjoy partying instead. It’s best if you would book a place that will allow you to walk to and from tents and festival venues.
Do not wear Halloween costume versions of Lederhosen and Dirndls. The Oktoberfest costume is pretty orthodox, and pretty so it will always be better to shift the choices rather than wearing scary Halloween dresses.
Germans take their traditional attire seriously. Paris Hilton is even forever banned from attending Oktoberfest after wearing a customized gold Dirndl to Oktoberfest.
To Maximize Oktoberfest Joy, Please Do The Following:
Do wear proper Dirndls and Lederhosen to get a better feel of the festival! It is not required at all, but it’s a chance that you shouldn’t miss. Don’t wear low-quality costume versions, though.
Do book a table. This will avoid having to experience Oktoberfest’s famous long lines.
Do eat before drinking. Enjoying your one-litre beer will be easier if you’re not hungry!
Do look for lines on side entrances. The lines there are not as long.
Do have cash with you. This will prevent having to wait in long ATM lines.
Do memorize Robbie Williams’ Angels. It will be played a lot during the festival.
Do observe historical tradition if you’d wear a dirndl. Bow place is important. Please observe the following:
Bow on front-right - you are married or taken
Bow on front-left – you are single and ready to mingle
Bow front center – you are a virgin
Bottom line: Wishing You A Happy Journey
Oktoberfest is a perfect symbol of German traditional beliefs. During the festival visits, make sure you are wearing the right clothes and the right outfits for the festival visit. Check the calendar if you are planning to visit there. What is your opinion? Are you thinking of visiting the place? Then share your opinion through the common sections.
