Foodie hotspots


Foodie hotspots – here are our favourites!

This is a just a quick overview over our favourite places where we regularly go to.

Just the ones we would recommend to good friends! :-)

BREAKFAST & ALLDAY EATERIES:

BOOTLEGGER 

Sourced from Central Africa and South America, their beans are 100% sustainably sourced and locally made at their micro-roastery in Woodstock. 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified. Based in tableview, just 5 min away. Great Breakfast place with amazing view! https://www.bootlegger.coffee/pages/menus, 3 Athens Rd, Bloubergstrand

THE HART in MELKBOS:

We just love the atmosphere of this place. Nice ocean views, relaxed sitting on the terrace or inside. www.thehart.co.za, Shop 1 Mira Mar Center Beach Road, Melkbos, Cape Town.

HEMELHUIJS

Have breakfast at a little oasis! As they write on their own website Hemelhuijs “offers an ideal escapism from the hustle and bustle”. Enjoy the amazing food in this relaxed atmosphere and get some inspiration from the always lovely arranged flower and green plants. www.hemelhuijs.co.za, 71 Waterkant Street, Cape Town.

LOADING BAY:

What a cool place. And for sure one of the beste breakfasts in town! They call themselves a “multidimensional space” – as beside the allay eatery they also offer ethically and conscious selected menswear and Aēsop Skin care products. www.loadingbay.co.za, Shop 30, 30 Hudson St, De Waterkant, Cape Town

COCO SAFAR:

The Coco Safar Café with its French style and retro-chic setting is all about understated luxury and daily indulgence. Also: Check out their Capsule Emporium with biodegradable coffee capsules! They also offer really nice coffee tastings – just make sure that you only sip (unless you want to stay awake for the whole night)! www.cocosafar.com, Coco Safar Sea Point, Artem Centre (Previously Adelphi Center), 277 Main Road, Cape Town

GIOVANNI‘S DELIWORLD:

Very nice downtown near Waterfront and stadium. An Italian deli where you order your choice of delicious food at the counter. Real Italian and at the same time very Cape Townian. 103 Main Rd, Green Point, Cape Town

HOMESPUN:

This is exactly what Table View has been missing for a very long time! Matt has created a really exceptional culinary experience. Nestled between the all too familiar pubs, bars and fast food joints of Table View, this little gem is a welcome breath of fresh air, and definitely worth a visit! www.homespunbymatt.co.za Portfield Road (opposite St Elmo’s), Table View, Cape Town
