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.

95 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.

Planet 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.

Nobu

If you haven't been to Nobu in the One&Only, then you're seriously missing out. The food is quite simply exquisite! Nobu is a global phenomenon that started as a business partnership in 1994 between chef Nobu Matsuhisa and his partners including actor Robert De Niro.

The 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.

The 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.

La 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.

The Grand

If you're looking for the ultimate spot for a beach sundowner, your search ends here. The Grand Cafe and Beach, Granger Bay is hidden off a slip road between the V&A Waterfront and the Raddison Hotel in Mouille Point...

Aubergine

Hmm - who to take to Aubergine? Not a date. No, I think I would take a good friend who loved food and wine as much as I do. A fellow fatty. This is a place to be an unapologetic gourmand. To wave pretension aside and indulge.

Beluga

Beluga was as slick and polished as its Capetonian brethren, but the wise words of Oprah haunted my every mouthful - "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels." She clearly hasn't tasted the beignets?

Sevruga

The setting is sublime - vivid colours, yachty totty, sea air and Table Mountain looming in the background. It's a big restaurant - part of the Caviar Group which includes Blonde and Beluga...

Reuben'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.

The 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.

Signal 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 More

The 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 More

Societi 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.

Brio 1893

Cast your mind back to the bygone days of the Rat Pack - the team at Brio have created a traditional dining room in this fantastic double volume space, built way back in1893. They have brought back 'dinner and dance' with stylish aplomb.

Wakame & 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...

Five 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.

The 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 More

Cafe 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 More

Maria'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.

The Woodlands Eatery

The Woodlands Eatery is an eclectic experience tantalising to the taste buds, nourishing for the soul and pleasing to the eye.

Il Leone

Part of the Mastrantonio set up, but it’s more sophisticated than its siblings. In a renovated double-storey building in Green Point, white table cloths and plenty of pine set the scene for the classic Italian fare.

Read More

Makaron

The Makaron restaurant and M-Lounge at Majeka won the Eat Out 2011 Boschendal Style Award and it’s easy to see why. Eclectic design combines modern and classical in ways that only the bravest of interior designers or most deluded of drag queens would imagine possible.
