The Shortmarket Club

The Shortmarket Club has a luxe old-world feel with many of the dishes presented as modern interpretations of classics. The restaurant works closely with local suppliers for all of their ingredients, which in turn inspire the menus. The opulent space features accents from local artists, married with meticulously-sourced vintage pieces, such as military-style lamps and stained glass. Consistently appearing in Eat Out’s Top 20 restaurants, The Shortmarket Club has set the bar for a more interesting and exciting food scene. For our last dinner in Cape Town, we opted for the tasting menu with wine pairing.

Upper Bloem Restaurant

Upper Bloem Restaurant refers to the uniqueness of Cape Town and draws inspiration from the port city’s mix of cultures. They offer tapas-style and seasonally inspired dishes. We sat in the back at one of the "chef's counter" tables and enjoyed the set dinner menu of 3 courses with 9 dishes total and additional wine pairing.

La Petite Ferme

La Petite Ferme offers a culinary experience like no other. It delivers a combination of international methods and flavors while focusing on sourcing the best and freshest in-season ingredients grown locally in the valley of Franschhoek for a sustainable menu. We stopped here for lunch during our day trip to the Cape Winelands.
