Here is a five-foodie road trop guide to include on your next visit to Cape Town
The fact that Franschhoek is situated only an hour from Cape Town isn’t the only reason to visit this iconic Western Cape town. One of the most celebrated reasons to visit Franschhoek is for its restaurants, and this award-winning restaurant is a great place to start your trip to one of the Western Cape’s most picturesque and tranquil towns.
The Hussar Grill has a long-standing history of quality food of impeccable standards. If you are a meat-lover, then Hussar should be on your list. It has provided the famous wine-producing town with excellent food since 1964.
This iconic Kalk Bay establishment has become a regular for locals and visitors alike. For years it has provided the Southern Peninsula region with quintessential pastries and bistro-style food. They pride themselves in hiring interesting staff members and are also dog friendly. Something to consider: they don’t take reservations so you may have to wait for a table.
This is a definitive Ethiopian dining experience in Cape Town’s bustling city centre. It prides itself in everything that is Ethiopian; down to the last decorative ornament on the table. This is the authentic experience you have been looking for, short of visiting Ethiopia.
If visiting a restaurant which has literally been carved into an old cave isn’t reason enough to venture to this iconic destination, then the fact that it’s within direct view of one of Africa’s best whale sanctuaries, should be. Hermanus is one of the most picturesque towns in the whole of the Western Cape for various reasons. This restaurant will help you reconnect with nature and is also a great place to bond and unwind with the whole family.
