Go visiting Kirstenbosch...
by LilleLene
Go visiting Kirstenbosch national botanical garden. Its extremely beautiful.
And during the summer there is live music every Sunday. Its the small things i miss about Cape Town. I miss feeding the squirrels in Gouverment avenue, and I miss talking to the kind and friendly south african people.

visit Kirstenbosch Garden
by hanspeter_W.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is world-renowned for the beauty and diversity of the Cape flora it displays and for the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
Kirstenbosch grows only indigenous South African plants. The estate covers 528 hectares and supports a diverse fynbos flora and natural forest. The cultivated garden (36 hectares) displays collections of South African plants, particularly those from the winter rainfall region of the country. It was founded in 1913, read about the History of the Garden.
Cigar Bar
by jo104 about Kennedy's Restaurant & Cigar Bar
I have not been here but have been told it is the place to go so will add the tip on merit.
The range of cigars is very good as one would expect.
The decor is lavish with the traditional furnishings of a cigar bar. It also provides live jazz.. Although I have not eaten there it is run by a Michelin star chef. More expensive then average
Avoid this restaurant
by cochinjew about Bokhara North Indian Restaurant
The usual menu you would find at an indian restaurant in london and at the same price as in london.. who said cape town was cheap!
The service was so slow, I walked out of the restaurant which i very seldom do. I do not recommend this place. First of all almost all the people eating there were white south africans or tourists, no east indians.. what does that say.. catering for someone else..
Indian grandfathers who should be with their grandchildren at home, offer indifferent service.
a white guy behind the cashiers counter.. in an east indian restaurant? bad symbolism.. If i had elected to stay and eat i would have chosen
baigaan bhartha.. thick curry of tandorri roasted egg plant at 50 rands.. the bill would have come to close to 100 rands including service and rice etc.. too expensive in a town where such money would buy you exquisite meals..
