Food Scene

Amazing food. Always busy, book in advance before your arrive in Cape Town. Open bar with stunning view of Table Mountain. Ask about The Dark Horse - the new Tapas Bar opening (soon) diagonally across the street.

Great local hood street Cafe experience. They don't have a liquor license, but you can order green olives (beer type 1) and black olives (beer type 2). You will pay for the olives and get a complimentary beer.

Another local Cafe across the park from Power and the Glory. The owner/manager Michael is a real "character", sometimes not in the best way. The people who go there are interesting. I'm not crazy about his coffee and his food is iffy - but it is an authentic experience. Try it if you're game for anything.

Small and noisy - so not a venue for an intimate catch-up. Crowd spills out onto sidewalk - so be prepared for the evening chill. Very chilled vibe. Authentic little spot.

Good spot in the seedier part of town. Lower section of Canterbury Street. Don't take any valuables. Watch for pick pockets. The best is not to take cash and respond with "Sorry, no cash. Next time!" when approached by beggars. Preferably go in a group.
