There are numerous restaurants for any food connoisseur (or otherwise) to choose from in Cape town and the surrounding areas.

The V&A waterfront has a variety of steakhouses, Italian restaurants, seafood eateries and coffee shops, to name a few.

Head into Cape Town (especially Kloof and Long Streets) to encounter a further selection.

At Camps Bay you can enjoy a sundowner (or breakfast) overlooking the beach from a number of venues (including the famous Blues and Villamoura restaurants)

Hout Bay is a good venue for more informal seafood meals. Get takeaways and sit on the beach or the pier or book for Mariners wharf restaurant and sit out on a veranda overlooking the sea.

A lot of the wine farms have very high standard restaurants, or eat in the towns in which they are situated.

Cape Town has been named one of the world's most creative cities. During any visit to the Waterfront you will hear a variety of informal performances.

If you prefer something more formal there are theatres in Rondebosch, Camps Bay and on the foreshore. In Muizenberg (The Masque Theatre) and the Milnerton Playhouse you can enjoy amateur productions.
