Look for any recent visitors. Going in a few months, and looking for family friendly suggestions.


Thanks

Went a few years ago, so not sure if this is outdated. But we had a great seafood meal at a place call 'The Codfather' (nice name) I think it was in the Clifton or Camps Bay area. Also, there is a place in the Waterkant district call the Cape Quarter with a great wine bar, a sushi place, and italian place. All very nice, not South African per se, but we enjoyed it.

Oh and one more in Cape Town called 'Five Flies'...very nice place, higher end.

Also, a non food reco, if you can, rent a car and drive down to the cape point (cape of good hope). It was an amazing drive, not to difficult with some nice places to stop off and eat.

Just returned from Cape Town and can recommend one.waterfront at the Cape Grace Hotel (fish cakes are great -- breakfasts are outstanding), Anatoly's on Napier Street in Green Point (36 mezze plates to select from) Emily's at the V & A Waterfront (near the clock tower).

Have fun -- Cape Town was much fun!
