Cosmopolitan Cuisine in Cape Town

Monday March 16, 2009

bizerca_capetown.jpgCape Town's dining scene has exploded in recent years, with restaurants of every type and ethnicity popping up. In the vicinity of Westin Grand Cape Town Arabella Quays, the offerings are as broad as they are enticing. Start your exploration at the Porter Estate Produce Market Saturday morning, where you can wake up with strong Dutch-style coffee, then shop for local cheese, produce and cured meats.

The resort is close to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, where Den Anker serves up Belgian beer and bistro food to restore you after a day of wandering the shops. Farther from the coast, Bukhara serves up North Indian curry, while its sister restaurant Haiku brings together Chinese, Japanese and other Asian flavors for bigwigs and Cape Towners alike.

For a taste of Afrikaans-accented French, head to Bizerca Bistro, a modern corner spot with fantastic food. It'd be a shame to visit South Africa and not have some wine; my recommendation is Caveau Wine Bar & Deli, with an endless wine list (450 bottles, 85 by the glass) and a lovely, daily changing menu for pairing.
