Did You Know?
IIt's important to note that almost all Cape Malay restaurants in Cape Town are strictly halaal so no alcoholic beverages are allowed on the premises.
CCape Malay cuisine is the culinary inheritance of those Cape Town residents whose ancestors arrived as Malay, Javanese and Indonesian slaves in the mid-17th century. In the intervening years, an intriguing sweet, aromatic and utterly South African food genre has emerged. Cape Malay people historically lived in the Bo-Kaap district and it is still home to many of their most authentic restaurants.
CCape Town is also famed for its fine dining and should you wish to celebrate in style, you will be spoilt for choice. Whether you favour molecular gastronomy at The Test Kitchen in Woodstock or classic French at La Mouette Restaurant in Sea Point, you really can't go wrong.
If you struggle to decide on a dining destination, simply wander down the restaurant strips of Long Street, the CBD, Kloof Street, Gardens or the beachfront at Camps Bay.
