8 of the Best Restaurants in Cape Town, South Africa
You may have heard that South Africa, and Cape Town in particular, has great food. In reality, it’s somewhat of an understatement: I would argue that Cape Town has one of the best culinary scenes on the planet. What makes the case even more compelling is how relatively inexpensive food is in the Mother City for those coming from abroad. Below is a quick overview of some of our favorite Cape Town restaurants for different occasions. From Cape Town classics to avant-garde cuisine to local gems, there is undoubtedly something to satisfy every taste in Cape Town.
Tswalu Motse or Jack's Camp?
It goes without saying that both Tswalu Kalahari and Jack’s Camp are two of the most highly regarded and coveted luxury safari experiences within Southern Africa. But each has a very unique product offering when it comes to everything from the meerkats and other wildlife to the cultural interactions and culinary offers, all the way to the accommodations themselves.
Our Once in a Lifetime Trip to Airelles Le Grand Controle at Versailles
At Craft, we like to think that one of the things that distinguishes us from other luxury-focused travel designers is value.

And while the bill is steep, this nearly all-inclusive experience delivers on every level, including value.
