The Power & The Glory

"Beards, Beer, and Brownies in Cape Town The Power and the Glory is a cool bistro in the center of Cape Town that has attracted a cult following among locals. The relaxed style, the bearded staff, the folding chairs, and the sidewalk stools may remind you of a Brooklyn cafe. If you can snag a chair, it makes for a great place to work or to have a meeting over a light breakfast. In the evening, the place is usually packed with revelers. Try the quiche in the morning, the pretzel bun hot dog in the evening, and the Nutella cheesecake for dessert."

"An evening at The Power & The Glory is the best way to experience Cape Town at night. People gather here in such high numbers that they spill down the street every evening, drinking CBC beer or a local Chenin, eating their infamous hot dogs, and talking to the famous bouncer. It also shares a wall with Publik, Cape Town’s main wine bar, in case you don’t make it to wine country." - Dana Alloy
