# 1 gourmet restaurants
The Dove
If you want to treat yourself to the culinary experience of a lifetime: opt for The Dove . This restaurant continues to improve over time and has won all the awards, including the title of 12th best restaurant in the world according to the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice® Awards 2019. Yes, yes … “to the world”!
An experimental kitchen where you are the actor
The Dove did not steal its place on the podium with an idyllic setting in the Constantia Valley but also a cuisine that comes from experience. The dishes here are as beautiful as they are interactive – for example their citrus sorbet which seems to come straight from a cloud “to cleanse your palate” between two courses. La Colombe succeeds in the crazy gamble of making us leave the earth for dinner.
The importance of reserving:
Victim of its success, we strongly recommend that you book the restaurant at least one month in advance with your SAT travel consultant who will be happy to organize it for you.
Address: Silvermist Wine Estate,
Constantia Nek, Cape Town.
Telephone: +27 (0) 21 794 239
Foxcroft
Foxcroft it is convivial gastronomy, fine dining made accessible with kitchens open to the restaurant. A choice ? A 5 or 8 course tasting menu. To get there, cross the scenic and tree-lined roads of the Constantia Valley. Its place in our top of the best restaurants in Cape Town is due to this beautiful ratio between quality of service and a reasonable budget. In short, my favorite combined with all seasons.
Address: Shop 8, High Constantia
Center, Groot Constantia Road, Constantia, Cape Town.

# 2 For dinner, Trendy atmosphere
Kloof Street House
Surely the most trendy address of the trendiest street in Cape Town: Kloof Street House has become this essential address for its unique atmosphere between antiques, subdued lights and felted sofas. The plus: its terrace looking like a Balinese garden with its luminous gurilandes like thousands of stars.
Address: 30 Kloof Street,
Gardens, Cape Town
Telephone: +27 (0) 21 423 4413
Asoka
At its center: a tree around which the architecture of the main room has been designed. The tables revolve around the latter in an intimate and confined atmosphere. Every Thursday: enjoy live jazz followed by the resident DJ’s set. Upbeat music adds a touch of magic to this chic and friendly tapas bar.
Address: 68 Kloof Street,
Gardens, Cape Town.
Telephone: +27 (0) 21 422 0909
# 3 Facing the sea
The Lawns @The Roundhouse
We fell in love with this address at the top of the hill which descends to embrace Camps Bay. Enjoy a “picnic chic” atmosphere with baskets to order and outdoor tables with views of the Twelve Apostles mountains and the ocean, of course.
Address: Round House Road, The
Glen, Camps Bay, Cape Town
Telephone: +27 (0) 21 438 4347
Cape Point Vineyard
If you venture to the Cape Peninsula for a road trip to the end of the world: stop in Noordhoek for lunch at Cape Point Vineyard. This wine estate overlooks the white sand beach, the ocean as far as the eye can see in addition to hectares of vines. What else?
