The 18 Essential Cape Town Restaurants

"You might not recognize Hemelhuijs if you only stop by every few months. Chef and owner Jacques Erasmus transforms the menu every season and changes up the restaurant’s interiors to match, painting the walls in bold new colors. One enticing thing you’ll always find on the menu, though, in one form or another, is thick slices of mosbolletjie bread, which is laced with aniseed and grape must." - Mary Holland, Sarah Khan
