Cape Town restaurants David Hutchinson (http://crazyabouttravel.com/)

Cape Town is famous for its wonderful choice of restaurants catering to all budgets and palates. Here's just a sampling of Cape Town's best eateries...

You can enjoy:

African Food at The Africa Cafe and Mamma Africa. Both these restaurants offer a wide variety of authentic African food along with nightly entertainment.

Seafood Given its location it's not surprising that Cape Town is home to some of the best seafood restaurants in the world. You can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean, Table Mountain and spectacular sunsets at the following restaurants; Wharfside Grill, Panama Jacks and The Codfather.

Asian Food. Cape Town is a very cosmopolitan city and its excellent Asian restaurants reflects this. The food is authentic and delicious. You can try Indian food at Bukhara, Thai food at Wangthai (3 locations) and Cape Malay at the Noon Gun Tea Room.

Fine Dining: The following restaurants consistently perform well and are listed in South Africa's top culinary guide The Truffle Pig: one.Waterfront (modern), Beluga (modern) and La Colombe (French).

Wineries offer excellent dining opportunities as well. One that gets mentioned a lot is Buitenverwachting.

For a sundowner go to La Med one of Cape Town's most popular entertainment spots along the waterfront.

As with most cities, the best restaurants are usually where the locals eat so ask around for recommendations.
