The 15 Best Restaurants In Cape Town - Cape Town - The Infatuation
"Because Cape Town has such an international dining scene, visitors often arrive in the city and wonder what South African food actually is—and the country’s diverse heritage makes it a challenge to pin a definitive answer down. But the chef at Seven Colours Eatery does an excellent job of highlighting much-loved local dishes that many people still cook at home. For example, you can try boerewors, a type of spicy sausage, served with relish and maize porridge, and vetkoek, or fried dough, stuffed with mince or cheese and jam. Whatever you choose, you’ll leave this restaurant with a new love for bread cooked on an open flame." - mary holland

"A casual neighborhood spot named for a traditional family meal, this eatery celebrates South African comfort flavors with dishes like tshisanyama chops and a signature burger topped with chakalaka (spicy tomato-and-bean relish) and amasi cream served on freshly grilled roosterkoek. The chef-owner aims to reimagine what a local South African restaurant should showcase, making familiar home ingredients central to the menu." - Sarah Khan
What a hidden gem this place is.... The waiter explained a lot of stuff about the food, their beer, the gin. Sitting outside with Table Mountain visible and the sun illuminating the buildings in front of me, it was a six star experience. The food was fresh and very delicious, the beer and cocktail were perfect. I highly recommend this place if you are in for a local experience. Just chat with your waiter and I hope you enjoy this place just as much as I did.

One of the best places I ate at on my trip to South Africa.
Highly recommend trying the plate of the day with the seven specials, super tasty, filling and local. Wish this place had been closer to where I’d stayed or I’d have visited more than once.
Our waiter was lovely, friendly and informative so I was more than happy to provide a 20% tip too. No booking was required, we turned up at lunchtime and thankfully had no wait for a table.

Chef Nolu Dube-Cele and team made this birthday trip very memorable. The food and vibe were everything. I highly recommend and I'd give it 10 stars if it were possible.

Great place to experience some local cuisine. The waitress was very nice and took the time to explain the menu. Opted for the ox tail but since the batch they had was over, they gave me what few left they had and an extra portion of their other meat offer for free. The flavours were nice and the veg excellent.

Great explanation from staff about the menu as well.

Delicious authentic African cuisine. Friendly and patient staff help and advise you on your choice of dishes, which can be put together in a kind of modular system.
Limited space inside, tables outside in good weather. Restroom outside by the underground parking garage.

We had an amazing experience here! The African food was absolutely delicious — every bite took us right back to the village. 🍲🔥 The flavors were authentic, the portions generous, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. If you’re looking for real home-style African cuisine, this is definitely the place to be! 👏🏾🇿🇦
