"Set on Clifton’s most prime piece of coastline, it’s easy to come for lunch or a drink and end up staying for dinner at The Bungalow. Relax bare-foot on a day bed or at your table with nothing to worry about but enjoying a cool drink, sublime seafood, plump sushi and the sun hovering high over the big blue."

There is a new Mediterranean eatery in town and as far as we’ve seen they’re up there with the best. Love Thy Neighbour, occupying the space that was formerly known as Beer & Wine Garden, and which was formerly formerly known as &Union (if you’re from the Mother City you’ll remember this local watering hole), has opened its doors for anyone looking to indulge in what we are dubbing “The Big Greek Feast”. The large and inviting outdoor area is a favourite place to stop for beers and cocktails after work on a hot summer’s day... "

Drinks & Nightlife

"Café Caprice combines artisan cocktails, a café-style menu, relaxing lounges and sidewalk seating to experience the epitome of Cape Town’s cosmopolitan social scene. Situated directly across from Camps Bay Beach at 37 Victoria Road, open 7 days a week since 1999, it is a home for many Cape Townians and a must visit destination for tourists. Camps Bay beach is the ultimate sunset viewing spot and Café Caprice provides the perfect backdrop, as DJ’s fill the space with laid back music from Thursday to Sunday with a deep, chilled house soundtrack. Café Caprice – a landmark on the Camps Bay promenade and an indelible part of the Cape Town bar and entertainment scene."

"The Village Idiot is a fantastical bohemia-meets-1980’s-plaashuis restaurant and bar lodged on Loop Street. Positioned perfectly; the popular neighbourhood hangout is a fair distance from the congestion of the CBD while still being close enough to feel connected to the exciting buzz of the inner city. The soft leather booths and crackling fire make it easy to understand why this local watering hole is so popular. "

Sightseeing

Muizenberg beach with its shallow, warm water is ideal for family fun. Wade, walk, jump, splash or ride a wave. Dont know how? Any one of the surf schools will help to get you up and riding: Learn to Surf by signing up for lessons with Gary’s Surf School (the oldest on the strip) or Learn 2 Surf and Stoked Surf School – if it’s SUP or Kite Surfing, Surfstore will teach you. Rent a bike from Adventure Rentals for the day – you will find them at the Shoprite Centre on Main Road or simply walk, the choices are many.
