Eat and drink your way through the Mother City

Cape Town is a genuine food and wine destination, and you can eat superbly at every budget. Try a Gatsby (a giant local sandwich that can feed several), bunny chow, and braai (barbecue), graze the food markets like the Old Biscuit Mill on a Saturday, and enjoy fresh seafood by the harbour. Local wine and craft beer are excellent and cheap by international standards. The trick, as ever, is to eat where locals eat, away from the Waterfront prices. We'll point you to the markets, the local dishes, and the best-value places to enjoy them.
