A personal favourite as I created the branding Identity for this space, so I've spent many afternoons and evenings here whenever family visited me in Cape Town. Probably the best service in CT! The Shortmarket Club is an incredible fine dining restaurant tucked away at the top of a narrow staircase, in the centre of town. It has the feel of a closed members’ club. The space is equipt with classic New York style booths, romantic lighting, an open style kitchen and skilled waiters. The head Chef and owner, Wesley Randles prides himself on locally sources produce, he serves up dishes that tantalize and inspire. Every time. Their selection cocktails, AB Badenhorst wines and the Cape Malay octopus is a must!

Mexican restaurant next to the stadium, the décor is made for laziness. They have a log fire which is worth remembering on a misty Sunday, we go here to eat fine Mexican food, take a table on the balcony, wrap ourselves in blankets on a cold day and slowly slide under the table, strangely never been here when it’s hot outside.

book browsing, swiftly followed by fish and chips at Revelas next door

I would like to swim in their creamy white wine mussel sauce

Very cozy Italian pizzeria and restaurant with a Trieste twist.
