• La Colombe: If you’re in the mood for unique flavors La Colombe is the place to go. Renowned for Chef Luke Dale-Roberts’ exquisite creations, La Colombe is the perfect place to enjoy fine dining in the Cape. The food is finely crafted with a fusion of Asian and Contemporary French influences to create unexpected, yet delightful flavors. Wine lovers also come to this classic restaurant to thumb through La Colombe’s exquisite wine selection, knowing they’ll find the perfect wine to compliment their meal. But, that’s not all La Colombe has to offer. If you’re in the mood for a visionary dining experience, La Colombe is the place to be. With its fantastic lush backdrop of sprawling vineyards, it’s no wonder La Colombe is considered to have one of the best views of all the restaurants in Cape Town.
• Jardine: The contemporary and hip atmosphere of Jardine is only one reason why so many Cape Town visitors love to dine at this fantastic restaurant. Jardine boasts a delightful selection of fine African and Contemporary cuisine, such as tender duck confit, Chalmar beef fillet, and tantalizing desserts. Chef George Jardin has prepared a menu consisting of an á la carte selection of dishes, as well as a chef’s menu, which is a five course meal consisting of the finest and freshest local ingredients. Ask the Jardine staff for a wine pairing recommendation. You’ll be surprised by their fabulous wine expertise.
• Terroir: This restaurant offers an out-of-this-world dining experience for all who come to dine with them. With food created from a unique combination of French and African influences, it’s no wonder this restaurant is known as one of the top restaurants in Africa. Award-winning chef Michael Broughton crafts fantastic gastronomical creations, such as risotto of langoustines with pea and truffle puree, cured tuna with saltcod fitters and ginger shallot dressing, and hand-rolled potato gnocchi. Don’t fill up on these tasty delights though—ordering dessert is a must when dining at Terroir. Choose from a peanut parfait with chocolate mousse or strawberry vacherine. Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong. Ask to dine outside for a relaxing day with nature and fabulous food.
