Tastes

Cape Town, being a popular tourist destination in
South Africa, also means that it is home to several restaurants. The more
tourists there are, the higher the demand for food—good food in particular. And
Cape Town restaurants hit home run all the time.
Fusion Attraction
Cape
Town dishes almost have a “worldwide” quality and taste to it, ranging from Indonesian
influences to French and even German. But through the years, as Cape Town
ventures into its own character, its food also urbanizes its own flare, its own
uniqueness. And this is where Cape Town fusion food comes in.
After decades of multi-cultural occupation, even the influence on food
has turned Cape Town into an accord of fusion. You can see or—shall we say
taste—the Malayan influence in the one of the city’s popular food the
“bobotie,” which is basically curried lamb. Or even in the traditional African
dishes are more on the starchier side like the “mielie-pap.”
The Gift from the Waters
After a few years of fighting for “conservation,” nature has apparently given
back its blessings to Cape Town. Being a coastal city, it is abundant with
hundreds of seafood varieties. Everything from fishes, slugs, crabs, lobsters,
to the “kinglip,” which is one of the local delicacies, Cape Town has it.
Fine Dining Restaurants
If you’re the type to enjoy every luxury Cape Town can give,
try the Westin Executive Club previously the Towers Restaurant. Enjoy
contemporary fine dining as you view the whole city from your table.
Another lucrative restaurant for the books is the Victoria
and Alfred Waterfront Restaurant. An award-winning restaurant located by the
yacht marina, it has its own sommelier who chooses the right wine for your
dinner upon request.
Easy-on-the-Pocket
Restaurants
Even affordable restaurants
are not hard to come by in Cape Town. Even the local pubs serve equally tasty
food like some of the high-end restaurants. Street food should always be eaten
with caution, but admittedly they’re just as good as everything else served in
Cape Town.
Mama Africa is one of the famous tourist
destinations. Not only do they serve affordable yet scrumptious African-style
cuisine, they also deliver one heck of an entertainment as well. Located in the
hip and cool Long Street District you won’t miss it with its marimba bands
playing all night long.
But if you want to feel more at
home, McDonald’s and KFC are only two among the several international
franchises of restaurant chains that can be found in Cape Town.
Definitely a Good Night
After dinner at one of your chosen Cape Town restaurants,
what better way to end your day than in one the Cape Town hotels. There are a
lot of accommodations in Cape Town to choose from. Picking the right one is
always up to you. If you’d rather enjoy the food than the place you’re staying
in, you can always stay in the less expensive inns. But if you’re the type who
enjoys everything from food to living, there’s always the casino and coastal
hotels.
