To Banquet we go!

Being revered as one of the culinary capitals of the world, the Mother City has a plethora of places to visit, where you can reserve your tables and sample some of the finest food on the map. A smorgasbord of fine dining restaurants and quirky eateries, allowing locals and visitors to fully explore the evolving menus of a global cuisine. Where a fusion of traditional and exotic dishes cater to the discerning palate of a foodie.

Over the years, Cape Town has been consistently awarded and acknowledged for its gastronomy. An identity of homegrown culinary artists has been established, as they authentically dish up a tasty tapestry of culture, heritage, art, flavour and passion. 

As it is one of our primary occupations to ensure our guests’ travel experiences include all of the delectable delights that the Cape has to offer, we’ve compiled a list of some of the city’s finest eateries, that just happen to be within a stone’s throw of Labotessa. From innovative and edgy tapas to silky, umami-rich ramen. From south-asian inspired cocktails accompanying contemporary Indian dishes to those esteemed, classical fine dining experiences. We love nothing more than introducing our guests to something curiously new and exciting when it comes to food. To escort them on those journeys that awaken a whole new appreciation for our palates, sampling the works of the great cooks of the Cape, on a voyage of an African, epicurean feasting. 

Be sure to book your tables well in advance, as most of these seats sell like hotcakes.
