Melissa's- The Food Shop: For a slice of the best cake!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • For the best slice of cake in Cape Town, Malissa's is the place to go! The portions are huge and can easily be shared , if you going with a partner. They also have a huge variety of the best homemade biscuits beautifully wrapped to take home. Also some divine rolls and salads for a real boost for the day. Not forgetting the homemade nougat and fudge! Absolutely delicious! Cakes can also be ordered on request. These days I have been trying their delicious seasonal fruit tarts......what can I say, other than...yummy!!

    I have two: The Peacon Chocolate Fudge cake and the homemade fudge!

    Andiamo: For the best sunday breakfast!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The selection of food at this little deli is superb. Enjoy a very filling breakfast ranging from continental, English, American or simply a breakfast of your own choice. In winter the fireplace is always going and the atmosphere is quite amazing. The people who frequent Andiamo's, range from the trendy, the hungry and those who just want to hang around at the bar for coffee, cuppocino or perhaps those just wanting to have a good time. There is also some great Italian take aways such as the most divine biscotti, and all sorts of Italian delights and more. Above all that, the service is great!

    Cuppocino with froth and whatever is on the menu regarding a good breakfast. On weekends Andiamo's closes at midnight! So...... Visit this deli at any other time if you wish. I prefer Andiamo's in winter. Rather nice with that fireplace going!

    Nino's at Canal Walk is open from 8 a.m.-10-pm, so if you are looking for an early breakfast before you start your day, Nino's is the place to go to when you are in that area. Also very popular for those who spend their day at Century city, or to perhaps have something light before going to the movies. They have a wide variety of coffee's, cakes. and fruit juices. No alcohol, I'm afraid. All foods are strictly halaal. Bookings can also be arranged for special parties.

    The Tropical Cheesecake! You have to try it!

    The fish and chips at Mariners Wharf is what I recommend for all tourists. If you are looking for the best fresh fish in town, this is the place to go to. Mariners wharf is always busy. On weekends and paticularly public holidays, you will often find yourself in a long line of happy customers waiting for their fish, chips, salads or whichever seafood which might crave for on that day. This is from the "take away" section. Calamari, prawns and one of my other favourite's which is snoek ( a well known Cape Town fish) is also on the menu at Mariners Wharf. Mariner's Wharf is a delight to visit. The view from the restaurant is stunning and the lively atmosphere outside the restaurant is most enjoyable. The service.......great! Just below the restaurant is another section where you can read all about the history of Mariners Wharf and perhaps take home a few souveniers. This very popular restaurant is a "must visit" for all tourists.

    Mugg and Bean is very popular for a top up of the finest coffee's and much more. Young and old visit Mugg and Bean just to relax with the sunday paper, a good healthy breakfast or to try some of their delicious cakes. It is always very busy, especially on weekends. So, be sure to get there early. The helpings are huge. Usually enough for two, so be sure to ask for an extra plate to share. A great coffeehouse to visit.

    Panarottis (Claremont): Enjoy the pizzas and pastas!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Panarottis is one of those family restaurants where kids enjoy themselves as much as their parents! There is a tunnel for the kids, where they usually have a great time playing hide and seek, whilst their parents can have a feast. A real family restaurant. The service at the restaurant is great. So is their delivery service.

    Vegetarian Pizza topped with cherry tomatoes, baby leeks, green peppers, mushrooms and pineapple!

    Heidi's: Relax with a cuppa!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Heidi's is one of those restaurants where you can just relax with a cuppa, whether it may be cuppuccino, expresso or even a fruit juice, one always feel relaxed at Heidi's. The cakes are divine, so are the fruit salads, Heidi's pancakes or if you like, a sandwich of your choice. Heidi's is very popular, so be sure to get there early if you want to have a great continental or English breakfast. Or perhaps, for the hungry, a great lunch. Or perhaps a snack before, or after going to the movies. What I enjoy about Heidi's is, that it is popular with the young and not so young. A great restaurant!

    Fruit salad with cream!

    LaMed- Clifton.: GREAT MUSIC-GOOD FOOD-DANCING.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • La Med owns summer in Cape Town. With exceptionally beautiful views, both ocean and mountain, La Med is the best ocean-side venue in South Africa. Locals and tourists alike pour into La Med for the ultimate Summer Experience. Famous for our sundowners, La Med has a vast array of tantalising cocktails and offers gourmet pizzas, burgers, seafood and salads for the hungry. What may seem like a mellow start to the evening can quickly change into a full swing party as La Meds in-house DJ turns up the music. There is music and dancing every night until late. Our guests feel free to be "casual" and in true beach bar style they often wear beachwear including bikinis and board shorts. Fun - Casual - Vibrant - Safe - Relaxed - this is what you should expect from La Med in summer!

    There are so many Italian restaurants in Cape Town, it is sometimes hard to chose which one to go to. Well, this is the one I recommend if you desire a real taste of Italian Gourmet pizzas, pitas and and chitas. The salad selection is absolutely divine ranging from Rucola, Caprese and many more! What I like besides the huge "real Italian" pizza selection is the service. So If you want real Italian, Morituri is the place you want to be. The decor here is...... oh...so Italian!

    From the pizza seleaction......Well, this is just one of my favourites.Toscana - caramelised onion, olives,anchovy, pine nuts and parmesan. The salad...too hard to chose. Everything taste good!
