| Anatoli |
Price:
R 110 Wine: R 45 |
Tiled floors, high ceilings, bare brick walls covered
with kilim tapestries, elegant photographs, live music
and a trendy locale all combine to make this Turkish
restaurant 1 of the best locations in the city.
Waitrons bring massive trays filled with a variety of
hot and cold mezze, which can often be much tastier
than the ordinary mains.
Titbits to look out for (dishes change daily) are dolmades
(stuffed vine leaves), the lamb meatballs with walnut
purée, and the stuffed mussels. Mains, such as
yahni (a spicy lamb-rib stew) and traditional donner
kebab, are available from the open plan kitchen’s
deli style counter and always include a veggie, meat
and chicken option. Turkish coffee after the meal is
a must. Anatoli is closed on Mondays. |

| The
Conservatory |
|
Located in the peaceful, cool conservatory of The Table
Bay Hotel, this restaurant has stunning views
of the harbour and Table Mountain.
With its attentive waitrons and relaxed yet gorgeous
decor of palms, wicker, floral prints and gilt framed
mirrors, it is the essence of easy elegance and graceful
charm.
From the tempting appetite wetters of foccacia
bread embedded with dried tomato onwards, the
menu consists of imaginative creations. The spiced tomato
and tiger prawn broth is beyond contrast. Mains are
occasionally double Karoo lamb cutlet with spring roll
and barley sprouts, pickled artichoke and bell pepper
salad, or chargrilled Mozambican giant prawn and calamari
tempura. Half portion sizes are available and the sommelier
is on hand to offer expert advice. The Conservatory
is open for lunch and breakfast daily, and closed for
dinner Tuesday and Wednesday. |

| Marco’s
African Place |
Price:
R 105 Wine: R 48 |
Essentially African in every way, Marco’s
African Place is the favourite hangout for Cape Town’s
political elite and media jet set. Marco’s excels
in African chic, with all the pots, prints, beads, furniture
and sculptures that make up the incomparable décor
hand selected by chef and owner Marco Radebe and his
wife.
The food is just as genuinely African as the design,
with house specialities including upens
(tripe prepared in the local tradition, with onions
and brown sauce), ulwimi (steamed ox tongue with mustard
sauce), and crocodile tail. For those less daring, there
is a variety of classics, from pastas to duck a l’orange.
Live music and dancing every night and speciality beers,
such as Gugulethu Mqomboti, add to the uniquely African
experience to be had here. Booking is essential for
Marco's African Place. |
