Bosman's Restaurant at the Grande Roche
Eat Out is the definitive Top 10 for South Africa restaurants and this year Bosman’s at the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl made it to fourth spot. The service is exceptional and the expert sommelier knowledge is a real treat, proffering some great pairing suggestions.
Read More95 Keerom
A lot of restaurants in South Africa could learn a thing or two from 95 Keerom. Fresh ingredients, simply and expertly prepared. Unpretentious and delicious. You don't have to look much further than the twice daily baked bread and pungent Morgenster Olive Oil to find evidence of this.
Read MorePlanet Bar and Restaurant
A miraculous kiss of life for the Grande Dame of South African Hotels. First the Mount Nelson gave us the Planet Bar. Now welcome the Planet Restaurant in all its glory. Even Tatler magazine would be proud of this debutante.
Read MoreThe Test Kitchen by Luke Dale-Roberts
It’s a brave venture which is set to become one of SA’s finest restaurants – the raw ingredients are there, none more so than the passion and genius of Luke himself.
Read MoreThe Bombay Brasserie
Get to the Bombay Brasserie for the most chakra pleasing all round dining experience I've had for a very long time. Indian fine dining in the splendid space in Cape Town. Get thee there.
Read MoreLa Colombe
The twelfth best restaurant in the world. You can imagine the bristling excitement of the Horny Grazer. La Colombe is on the Constantia Uitsig wine estate in (perhaps unsurprisingly) Constantia.
Read MoreReuben's at the One & Only
When the recommended main arrived at Reuben's in the One & Only, I couldn’t help but consider the wise words of health fanatic Gillian McKeith - you are what you eat. I had the pork belly.
Read MoreThe Royale Eatery
When Vincent Vega told his fellow hitman Jules about a "royale with cheese" in the opening scene of Pulp Fiction he probably did as much for the humble burger as the movie did for John Travolta's ailing career.
Read MoreSignal at the Cape Grace
At Midday you will hear an almighty bang from the Cannon on Signal Hill. This tradition dates back to the days of the Dutch East India Company when the Cape was used as a stopping point on the trade route between Europe and the East.
Read MoreThe Duchess of Wisbeach
The Duchess of Wisbeach is a bit of a conundrum, it's loud, busy, chaotic - the service was erratic, the electricity tripped twice and they ran out of two of the dishes we ordered. But I loved it all the same.
Read MoreSocieti Bistro
Societi Bistro nearly achieves the "neighbourhood local" vibe to which it aspires. They just need to watch the prices because these are not expensive ingredients. It's good old fashioned Italian cooking and should be priced accordingly. That's where the appeal lies.
Read MoreWakame & Wafu
Wakame is a vibey venue with some of the best sea views around - a setting sun and thunderous waves crashing into the shoreline make it an ideal lunchtime/sundowner venue. After a slightly more strenuous walk up Lion's head than I'd anticipated...
Read MoreFive Flies
It was good, but it didn't deliver - it's not easy to cook a Wellington medium rare, but it's not impossible either. It's also not impossible to keep the pastry crisp on the outside and moist on the inside.
Read MoreThe Hussar Grill - Greenpoint
The original Hussar Grill was opened in Rondebosch in 1964, now Cape Town boasts three of these delectable steak houses and we think the Hussar Grill in Greenpoint opposite the Cape Town stadium is the pick of the bunch.
Read MoreCafe Paradiso
A great location at the top of Kloof Street in central Cape Town. Think rustic Tuscan - pebbled courtyards, a wine room and several farm house dining rooms.
Read MoreMaria's on Dunkley
Since our Rhino Africa offices are a minute walk away, we find ourselves at Maria’s very often. Walk past and you’ll probably spot a Rhino African there at lunch time at one of the outside tables under the trees or at night with fairy lights adding a dreamy Midsummer Night’s feel.
Read MoreThe Woodlands Eatery
The Woodlands Eatery is an eclectic experience tantalising to the taste buds, nourishing for the soul and pleasing to the eye.
