Named after the year in which Steenberg was established, Bistro Sixteen82 first opened its doors in 2009, and has been the tapas and bistro-style darling of the dining world ever since. It's about 30 minutes away, but well worth the trip. Wonderful for a lazy Sunday lunch.

Bree Street has overtaken Camps Bay, Long Street and even Kloof Street as Cape Town’s coolest strip – when it comes to eating opportunities, anyway. There’s still a lot of construction happening, but through the dust and rubble rise gorgeous new spaces and cooking smells, so it keeps things exciting. This vibrant road that’s both wide and long offers numerous options – all excellent – for coffee, burgers, sandwiches and sundowners. Not to mention the dedicated bars for gin, bacon and cheese. Take a walk with us up Bree Street to see Cape Town’s hottest restaurant talent.

WINE ON THE ROCKS AT KALK BAY Phone: 021 788 7162 Kalk Bay
 might be one of the most southerly and smallest of Cape Town’s suburbs, but don’t overlook it. Head here for drinks at The Polana in the Harbour House complex. The setting, right on the rocks, is spectacular. In the summer you can nestle on battered couches and cushions by the open windows while a fire burns cheerily as the waves crash in winter. Local wines feature heavily on the drinks list and there’s sometimes live music and dancing.

True to bistro style, La Boheme is cosy and welcoming, serving gourmet yet hearty meals at a reasonable price. Boasting an impressive wine selection, of which over sixty are available by the glass, La Boheme is the only wine bar in the Sea Point area. The chefs, imaginative and experienced, take full advantage of the freshest ingredients available. As a result, you may find that last night’s menu has changed somewhat to what is on offer today.

Chapman’s Peak Restaurant is sought after by both visitors and locals. For over 25 years this internationally acclaimed restaurant has served mouth-watering seafood dishes including West Coast Lobster (crayfish), Prawns, Fresh Line fish and Portuguese Sardines. My favourite dish is the calamari/steak combo.
