The gardens are stunning, and the food is all fresh from their own organic crop. They are masters of design. Don't book at the restaurant, rather drop by the greenhouse - which does not take bookings - and join the queue for a table. Also drop by the tasting room, which has "snack plates" large enough for lunch for two.

Lion's Head Hike
Signal Hill RoadAccording to Sarah, these are the best botanical gardens in the world. They are massive. The Fynbos (the region where Cape Town sits) is a biologically unique region, and many of the plants that flourish here do not grow anywhere else in the world. The Tea Room inside the gardens has lovely meals and drinks.. Picnics + reading on the lawns are also great.
