Cape Town Foodie Favourites
Cape Town recently took third place in Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice selection of the world’s best food cities. This got us thinking about our fave places for eating
Cape Town recently took third place in Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice selection of the world’s best food cities.
This got us thinking about our fave places for eating out, restaurants we still want to try, recommendations from others. All of which, obviously, led to a bit of Google exploring. And this naturally led to some Instagram scrolling.
From all this investigation, debate and thought, we’ve put together droolworthy Instagram shots taken at some of the top-rated Cape Town restaurants on Tripadvisor. This top 10 didn’t turn out to be the expected list so it’s interesting to see what Tripadvisor users are saying. There might just be some new dining inspiration in there! We’ve shared how much love people are showing these restaurants along with a bit of what’s being said about them. Enjoy scrolling through these and then please share your pics with us on Instagram too!
