Marcos African Place
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I prefer this place to the Africa cafe as it seems more authentic to me. They have a wide range of dishes with many different kinds of meat that you can try - Kudu, Springbok, Ostrich etc. The food was very good and service too. They play live music from about 8pm which creates a fantastic atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Dine like the royalty at this exquisite restaurant.
    Guaranteed to be a special occasion.

    The fresh linefish is a must but they do serve excellent meat, poultry and game dishes as well - not to mention the dessert menue and huge wine list!

    Blue Peter Hotel: A Cape Town favourite
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Although it's called The Blue Peter Hotel, It's not really that.(to us locals anyhow)
    Although I've listed it as a restaurant, it's not really that either although they do serve light meals.
    The Blue Peter is the place Cape Townians go to chill out as the sun sets over Table Bay.

    Grab your favourite drink at the bar then find your spot on the terraced lawn and relax as the sun sets over the bay. Bring the whole family (including the dogs)
    This is what Cape Town is all about!

    Only light meals served - The sunsets are the speciality!

    Awarded the Platinum award for their wine list - One of only 22 hotels nationwide to receive this honour!

    Den Anker: a Bit of Belguim
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Good food - GREAT beers. Be prepared to spend some time here. The Belgian beers are great and so is the food.
    Service was a bit slow though but that gave us more time to enjoy the beer.
    Nice vibe.

    SEA HORSE: Cape Town's only floating restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • For a different view of the city, why not take a dinner cruise through the Victoria Basin, Duncan and Ben Schoeman docks.
    They offer a 3 course a la carte menue and live band.

    Cruises sail subject to weather conditions - seems to be restricted in very windy conditions

    The Santa Ana Spur: Ride 'Em Cowboy!

  • Good food, good grog, and great views from here! - Cape Town
    Good food, good grog, and

    The Spur, as it's generally called, is part of the first South African restaurant chain. It's vaguely reminiscent of Denny's or The Embers in the US, though the decor inside is rather more sophisticated. We were quite surprised when we discovered a sort of Southwest theme with graphics of saguaro cacti and Navajo rug designs on stained glass chandeliers. Probably the best thing about it, though, is eating outside on the balcony with a superb view of the harbor and Table Mountain.

    As for the food, they have great steaks, excellent seafood, and quite a few Mexican items, too, such as quesadillas and fajitas. I had a chicken fajita salad one evening, which was decent, though the guacamole wasn't the best I've ever had.
