Kick-start your day with a full English breakfast in Cape Town city restaurants and bars. For a leisurely brunch pick a restaurant or bar in laid-back Tamboerskloof and recharge after sightseeing with fish and chips for lunch at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront complex. The restaurants and bars in Camps Bay come alive at sunset, then Cape Town clubbers refuel with Tequila in the late-night bars dotting the Mouille Point area.
Curries dominate the Cape Town restaurant menus in the Muslim Bo Kaap area, while fish and seafood are served in almost every Cape Town restaurant and bar facing the ocean. Feast on giant burgers in Long Street's affordable restaurants. Opt for tender fillet steak in Cape Town's relaxed steak houses, or authentic Italian cuisine in upmarket Sea Point restaurants.
In Cape Town restaurants abound, particularly in the City Bowl, but good ones get busy so book ahead. Throughout the day most bars and cafes serve food on the go. Hungry after a night out? Buy Boerewors rolls (sausage) from street vendors outside Cape Town's late-night bars. Waiters rely on tips, so remember to add 10% to your bill. Most Cape Town restaurants let you bring your own wine, just confirm that they do and any corkage fees they charge at the time of booking.
Join Cape Town's booming coffee culture in Kloof Street, where bars serve an excellent cup throughout the day. Experience magical Cape Town sunsets while sipping cocktails in Camps Bay or drink sundowners in the surfers' bars lining Big Bay. Bar hopping and DJs attract the Cape Town party crowd to Mouille Point until the early hours.
