Food Scene
Literally on our doorstep. Apparently one of the best steak restaurants in Cape Town, however I have never actually eaten there, so couldn't say for sure. I have heard a few mixed reviews and considering their higher-end price point, not sure it is worth taking the chance. Many other amazing steak restaurant options in Cape Town
