Guidebook for Cape Town
Food Scene
Really good Turkish and Greek food. I like this place because of it's simplicity. It's a family run restaurant, the menu is basic, but the food is excellent and the atmosphere is very homely and cosy - quite romantic with candles on all the tables.

This place is not much for atmosphere, so more of a lunch place than a dinner event, but the food is really excellent. Try the bibimbap!

Parks & Nature
Great for kids - there's always lots of families having picnics and birthday parties on the weekends. The gardens are carefully curated and the park is very safe with onsite security. There is also access to the promenade straight from the park. Beautiful views of the mountain!

Shopping
The famous V&A Waterfront with postcard views of Table Mountain framed by the harbour. The mall is good for shopping, but there are also excellent restaurants. It is also the departure point for Robben Island and various cruises (yacht cruises, speedboat tours etc).
