The 18 Essential Cape Town Restaurants

"A number of skilled chefs have passed through the kitchen at La Colombe, but the restaurant has remained one of the city’s most iconic dining destinations. Executive chef James Gaag cooks seasonally driven fine dining dishes heavy on local ingredients like tuna and springbok. Locals show up for this fancy fare but also for the location on the organic farm of the Silvermist Estate winery, with views over the Constantia Valley and False Bay. It’s a much-loved spot for weekend meals, especially Sunday lunch, which the kitchen takes to a whole new level." - Mary Holland, Sarah Khan
