Food Scene

Great fine dining in a comfortable environment within walking distance. Amazing service and incredible food at a reasonable price. The bar to inside is a great hidden secret if you're just looking for a good glass of wine and a snack.

Best bakery in town. Croissants are unbeatable - chocolate, almond, peanut butter and bacon, or emmental and bacon are always winners. Perfect for a take away on the way home or a meal on Bree Street.

Coffee shop by day, incredible (though costly) cocktail bar at night. Live music most nights of the week in a cosy but amazing venue. Spills out onto Short Market street on warm summers nights.

Home of the best (and most affordable) coffee in Cape Town. There's another branch on Short Market Street, but this wins for it's proximity to the Yard.

Iconic burger joint in Cape Town - quality slipped a bit recently, but still good for a delicious burger in a quirky setting.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great beer garden style bar, perfect for an expensive craft beer under the trees on a warm afternoon. Hanks, which is through the corridor, is another good bet and offers a wider range of less costly beers.

Parks & Nature

The Cableway is a few minutes drive away - a walk up is incredible if you have the time, but a Cablecar ride up is quite exhilarating too. Consider walking up and taking the cablecar down. Check for sunset specials - sometimes 50% off after 6pm.

Best hike in the city - easy access, not too strenuous, incredible 360 degree views. Can get busy during summer months so go nice and early.

The best beach in Cape Town, and the best kept secret from tourists. Skip Camps Bay or Clifton and head here - beautiful views, nice sand, and often a lot quieter than the more popular beaches. Come prepared for a few steps down to the shore though.

Sightseeing

A little overhyped and pretty expensive, but still worth a look and has everything you could need in terms of shops. The working harbour is the most interesting aspect of this, but it's also good for a rainy day - the Aquarium is a winner when it's cloudy.
