There are literally thousands of restaurants in Cape Town, ranging from seafood restaurants to steak houses to even township spots, no matter what type of food you’re looking for, Cape Town will have a place that will fulfill those desires.

Here are two restaurants worth visiting during your stay in Cape Town:

Ginja Restaurant – Ginja is situated at 121 Castle Street in the Bo-Kaap and occupies the ground floor of an old building. Mike Basset owns the restaurant and his menu offers impressive dishes including the Double Lamb Cutlets with White Miso Gorgonzola Sauce and seasoned English Spinach, or the Venison Loin with Bitter Chocolate, crushed basil Potatoes and Shaved Vegetables. If that doesn’t make your mouth water, then I don’t know what will!

Haiku Restaurant – Located at 33 Church Street in Cape Town, Haiku gives you that New Yorken up-market feel and the mix of fine asian dining compliments it perfectly. The menu includes Chinese dim sum, wok and barbecue; Japanese robot grills and sushi, served tapas-style. Granite floors and walls, mouthwatering cocktails and the amazing menu make for a perfect evening out.
