21 Best Restaurants in Cape Town

"Tucked away in an exclusive residential part of rural Constantia, the Greenhouse is the show pony of the venerable Cellars-Hohenort Hotel, set in acres of English country-style gardens. Here, chef Farrel Hirsch aces exquisite combinations like  steamed corn bread with smoked snoek emulsion and apricot glaze—apricot jam being a typical Cape Malay accompaniment to smoked snoek (a bony game fish). It’s a beautiful setting in which to enjoy inspired food, while learning a bit about South Africa’s star ingredients—the chefs describe their food as an experience that’s as complex and joyful as South Africa itself." - Jane Broughton
