This restaurant specialising in fresh seafood offers a unique experience of dining in style, whilst practically sitting on a beach. The Seafood Platter consists of an impressive variety of locally caught delicacies, served attractively in stunning surroundings.

La Colombeat Constantia Uitsig wine estate is now 50% owned by a black empowerment co-operative. The French style food at La Colombe was of a high standard – 'jalousie de langoustines' anyone? - with excellent service on a garden terrace by the vineyards. There is another restaurant (The Constantia Uitsig) overlooking the vineyards and a more informal restaurant (the River Café) in the courtyard behind the wine shop – noisy when we were there because of ‘the ladies who lunch’.

Blues at Camps Bay. Cool seafood restaurant with terrace and panoramic windows overlooking the beach. Great food in a relaxed environment. Apparently it gets very busy here in season, so booking is recommended.

This is the best view in The Cape. You dine on superb food while the restaurant turns at a leisurely pace giving you a view of the city from on high.

It's 22 storeys up at the top of the Ritz hotel and looks like an alien spaceship has landed on top of the building to the casual observer. Inside it's well decorated with an open kitchen and candles on the tables.

There is nowhere else you can get this standard for so little money (mains from 90 rand). A pianist plays while you dine which, combined with the great food and super service, makes for an unforgettable experience.

You cant miss it. Its that building in Sea Point with the flying saucer on the top. Ritz Hotel Sea Point

Very good, very expensive restaurant. I went there for a friend's birthday- the fool ordered the eponymous Beluga caviar with a price on request written next to it - he didn't and was asked for a comedy amount when the bill came. Still the chocolate ostrich was unbelievable.

If you have a car do not miss a trip to Franschhoek, the gourmet capital of South Africa. Enjoy a great lunch in the Cellars Restaurant after a wine tasting. Each course is accompanied by a different wine and it is a delightful experience.

Go through the village of Franschhoek, take a right at the monument and follow the road up the pass for approximately two kilometres.

For THE African experience, deffo do not miss out on this:

a) Make sure you book
b) Get a table for 8 o'clock - this is when the atmosphere hots up - arrive early for some lovely outdoor ambience - think Fri/Sat/Sun would be the be the best time to go.

Enjoy

If you've got a car, this restaurant is worth a detour. Absolutely fantastic - the best restaurant I've ever eaten in.

If you're on a budget, even the bar food is out of this world.

Franschoek is beautiful and worth seeing anyway, so book a room and stay the night.

A wonderful restaurant serving a sampler menu of delicious African food. The waiters will tell you all about what you're eating and recommend wine. And they'll cater for vegetarians.

Cuban restaurant by the sea. It's beautifully decorated with hand-painted chairs and tables, lots of candles and gorgeous deep colours everywhere. The staff are amazingly well informed on the food and give customer service good enough to put our restaurants to shame. They also have a very wide selection of Cuban cigars, and if you sit on the enclosed balcony section, you can watch the sea by night under fairy lights. Magical.

Willoughby's, down in the waterfront centre, is one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever been to. Melt-in-your mouth sushi, HUGE rock oysters from Namibia, the freshest fish (served in the pan with delicious potatoes) and really good paella. No booking, and really casual, it’s great for lunch and there’s no need to reserve. And it’s dirt cheap by British/European standards - you couldn’t eat like this at home.
