21 Best Restaurants in Cape Town

"Much like the humble root vegetable it’s named after, the menu at Salsify is restrained, rather than boastful or flashy, always packing a powerful flavor punch. Local and foraged ingredients form the basis of deceptively simple dishes like fried octopus with apricot mebos (sun-dried fruit leather), green mango salad, peanuts, and coconut; and beef tartare with nasturtium emulsion, pine-nut dressing, and veal fat brioche. The lunch is one of the best-value fine-dining menus in the city. And with the pedigree of the omnipresent Luke Dale-Roberts as well Ryan Cole who co-own the place, you know you're in good hands." - Jane Broughton
