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

Experience the Best Restaurants in Cape Town

"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

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.

Good food, lovely view but the wait time is insane. Ordered chicken, rice, and vegetable plate. It took 40+ minutes to receive our plate. The only thing that could have taken this long was grilling the chicken? And… yeah everything else should have been pre made. So? The people next to us arrived before us and still did not receive their food by the time we paid and left.

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! 👏🏾🇿🇦

This is a must go if you are in Cape Town and want to experience an authentic South African meal. The staff is extremely kind and passionate about their food heritage. There were so many meals which were all extremely flavorful. My favorite was the oxtail. Don’t miss this great opportunity if you are in town!

Seven Colours Eatery is a must-visit in Cape Town for comforting, flavorful South African food. I had the Seven Colours Plate, a traditional Sunday-style meal that was as colorful as it was delicious. You pick your choice of meat and starch, and it comes with four sides — every bite was rich, balanced, and full of home-style flavor. My boyfriend ordered the Cape Malay chicken and rice, which was equally outstanding. Service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt relaxed yet lively. Highly recommend this spot for a true taste of South Africa.

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.

Lovely staff and absolutely delicious food. I will say this, it is the first time in a very very long time that I have such a nice meal in a restaurant, I would give 6 stars if I could. Very nicely prepared, not too salty or too bland, not too spicy or too whatever, everything was perfectly cooked and the flavors perfectly balanced. The dessert was also great, not too sweet, very fresh and delicate flavor. Had the ginger drink, and once again, it hit the spot. I will be recommending this place! 💛
