Food Scene

Amazing, local cafe/coffee shop/restaurant. This tiny cafe has great coffee, on the weekends the best almond and chocolate muffins and on Wednesday evenings free tasting of local wines. It is a real gem! Sit at a table in the cozy interior or in the sun on the street watching the world go by.

We love this American style diner restaurant/bar. They have the most incredible burgers! If you order the burger, make sure to ask for a side of their delicious aioli. Yum! Clarke's is also great for a lazy brunch as well as a post site-seeing drink.

The incredible and famous Table Mountain Reserve is an absolute must see on your visit to Cape Town. Our favourite thing to do the Platteklip hike up the mountain in the afternoon then have a picnic at the top, watching the sun set and then take the last cable car down the mountain.

Arts & Culture

Visit the national museum and planetarium for a bit of culture. The museum has an amazing wale exhibition. Sit in the wale booth and listen to the sounds of wales around you whilst looking at a massive, suspended skeleton of a Southern Right Wale. The planetarium is also an awesome thing to do on a rainy day, or if you are looking for something relaxing one evening. There are also shows for children.
