We enjoyed our meal at this fine dining restaurant on the Steenberg estate. Our welcome was warm and our service polite, efficient and most helpful. My braised lamb ravioli was quite delicious. Equally, my main chicken dish was delightful, tasty and moist. Our other main was line fish with a risotto. My wife left her risotto as she commented that it was the worst risotto ever. My wife felt the risotto was very glutinous and stodgy. Our desserts were very nice. My wife enjoyed a strawberry based dessert. We lived the estates Pink based Pinot MCC and enjoyed a bottle of estate Sauvignon Blanc with our main meal. Overall, a very nice evening with lovely, courteous service and a very good meal with the exception of the risotto, which we chose not to complain about to the maitre.

We had an early dinner with 4 adults and 2 children. Very peaceful and quiet outdoor table with excellent service. Kids had the hamburgers and adults a variety of tortilla and flat breads. All very tasty with a good bottle of Durbanville Hills SB. This place always delivers.
3. La Colombe

La Colombe, one of Cape Town's most well-loved and awarded restaurants. Contemporary French-meets-Asian fine dining.
Reviewed By twogardeners - Bridport, United Kingdom
Not surprising La Colombe features in lists of the world's top restaurants. The set lunch menu is indeed a performance: as the chef says:"food is our theatre". And all this in a lovely setting overlooking the wooded hillside and vines. Predictably excellent staff, exquisite tastes in each of the numerous courses, delicious wines.

This is our 5th holiday to SA, and we have eaten at a number of fabulous restaurants over the years. This ranks as one of the poorest dining experiences we have had to date. We booked months in advance and were seated away from the main dining area and felt completely away from it all. There was no atmosphere at all. The menu promised well, my Sushi starter was great, but the Yellowtail main was really disappointing and was set on an oversized bed of garlic mash, with a few green beans and a little rocket, the mash was way too heavy and boring (I felt like I could have knocked the dish up at home). My husband chose a prime cut fillet of beef, it was massively salted and we have absolutely no idea what prime cut this was, the mushroom mousse was tasteless, cannot really comment further. We came away feeling we could prepare better food ourselves. Maybe we chose badly, but we felt this establishment is probably benefiting from its location and past reputation. Sorry to feel so disappointed.

Reviewed By CTandyou - Cape Town Central, South Africa
The service and the kindness of the waiters was absolutely perfect.
Helpful, fun, apparently some of them have been working there for over 15 years....which tells they are happy doing what they do and call it a life style.
The food was absolutely delicious and i can highly recommend the oysters and mossels for sea food lovers.
The jazz was at the back where the actual baking happens.
The smell of bread and pastries is present.
You can buy bottles of wine and take them with you whilst seated.
The sound was good.
It was a great great experience !
Bravo Olympia and well done to the promoter.
6. Buitenverwachting Restaurant

Buitenverwachting offers a elegantly casual dining experience, with design and menu reflecting the authentic character of the wine estate. A new wine library was established for pre-dinner drinks and tasting experience of rare and vintage wines.
Reviewed By 811michael - United Kingdom
We dined at this rather lovely restaurant after visiting the winery and vineyard. This restaurant is situated in one of Buitenverwachting's beautiful and original thatch buildings and forms part of the wonderful complex of the wine estate. This restaurant is in a stunning location with views to die for and after dining here, the food that we had was of a good quality as everything was beautifully seasoned to ensure rather fresh, natural tasting food. The ingredients used for the dishes were so fresh and natural that it gave an extra added natural flavours to the overall texture of the dishes. The usage of the herbs and spices was perfected rightly to ensure a finely balanced taste and flavours of the dishes. The service at this restaurant was fine with nice, friendly waiting staff, while the wines accompanying our meals, especially the reds, were fantastic and of the highest quality. Overall this was a great dining experience with good food, good service, fantastic wines in a relaxed and comfortable environment in such a beautiful and tranquil settings. We left extremely satisfied and happy to have dined here.

At the Foodbarn Restaurant, we serve the food that Franck is famous for … delicious and decadent ‘fine-dining’ style food but in a super relaxed and characterful old barn.At the Deli during the day, you are invited into our ‘home-from-home’ by the tantalizing aroma’s of the fresh bread and the best coffee in the Valley, the uber friendly and caring service, chef Joccelyn’s delicious creations, and more.At night the Deli is transformed into a delightful tapas bar serving inspired dishes with amazing textures and flavours.Whichever Foodbarn you are in … we look forward to spoiling you

What a gem! The French-born chef certainly knows how to serve up a good lunch. Without doubt this is the best eating experience in Cape Town. It serves classic French-style food without all the gimmicks currently conjured up by some of the other top restaurants in the city and surrounding area. It is pleasantly situated in a farmstead setting and firmly focused on giving the diner an exquisite experience. As a top end restaurant it is also reasonably priced. We prefer lunch so that we can take in the ambience of the little village but we have also been there for dinner, which was equally memorable. Everything was cooked to perfection and the wines were very palatable. Encroyable, as the French would say.

Spiro's in Hout Bay is the ideal restaurant if you're looking for traditional, authentic Greek food made with love and care. There are al fresco dining areas on the patio in front of the restaurant and in the paved, enclosed courtyard with bar.

Firstly the wine tasting, well organised, knowledgeable, friendly staff and fabulous wine. The Capensis chardonnay is great, I don't drink much white wine but we visited a second time just for this wine. The setting is beautiful, modern and relaxing.
The bistro -1682 was very good, popular and trendy. We had the chef's choice as we wanted to try something different, all were tasty and well delivered. A good place to visit to enjoy good wine and food in a lovely setting.
