The 18 Essential Cape Town Restaurants

"Getting a reservation at Asian hotspot Bao Down is not an easy task, even after the restaurant reopened in a larger space in Green Point. Opened by husband-and-wife team Graham and Philippa Oldfield (former head chef at Chefs Warehouse and a former caterer, respectively), the restaurant is consistently packed, and with good reason. Inside the retro pink-and-blue space, small but mighty dishes fly out from the kitchen, with options like prawn toast, Korean fried chicken baos, and yellowtail sashimi in a zingy coconut cream." - Mary Holland, Sarah Khan
