Azure Restaurant

First of all what gets you here is the location. And one of the things that stand out about Azure is their use of Fynbos in their dishes.

Andre's Restaurant

The restaurant serves the kind of meals that you generally expect from a bush lodge restaurant. Who knew you could have things like venison pies? There's more of this haute South African cuisine

M Café at the Metropole

You can find this chic restaurant on the famous Long Street. While the street has a bit of a bohemian feel to it, M Café is pure cosmopolitan, just like the bigger M, M Bar.

Mesopotamia

You might not be travelling to the land between two rivers anytime soon, but you can still enjoy Kurdish food at the first restaurant of its kind in South Africa, Mesopotamia.

Restaurant Thirty7 at the Westin Grand

If you're into chic but informal restaurants, this is the kind of place you'd like. There's a sushi bar and a noodle bar and everything else is prepared in a show kitchen so the whole place has a relaxed "warehouse kitchen" feel to it.
