5 Great Eats in Capetown

Amid a plethora of things to do in Capetown, South Africa, getting your gastronomy juices flowing tops the list. In comparison to other destinations I’ve visited around the world, Capetown’s cuisine ranks at the top of my list. Below are 5 of my favorite restaurants in the city to indulge in. Enjoy!

MILLERS THUMB

One of Cape Town’s best kept secret, Miller’s Thumb restaurant, is my personal favorite. The aroma of freshly seasoned seafood inside a brightly light cozy room provides the perfect meal away from home. Jane and her amazing staff goes the extra mile to ensure your food and experience remains a step above the rest. Miller’s Thumb was the perfect place to ring in my birthday!

TEST KITCHEN

One of things I like the most about Test Kitchen is the industrialize space with brick walls and exposed beams lining its interior. At Test Kitchen, food is prepared in a theatrical way, boasting a combination of South African and Asian flair. When a restaurant is praised in the top 50 best restaurants in the world, you know you’re in for a treat! Tip: Book in advance!
