A bit pricey by South African standards but the quality of their seafood and sushi is very good. In the evening they have two sittings; you can reserve a table at either 6:30pm or 9pm. http://www.codfather.co.za/menu/

A typical steakhouse; very popular with locals. At the end of the meal you should receive a complimentary small sherry glass filled with chocolate vodka and topped with cream. If they forget to give it to you, ask for it – it’s delicious!

This is best spot for breakfast in Camps Bay but you can also go for a light lunch or dinner. The service can be a bit slow but the food to-date has been impressive. Mantra is located on the strip, above the Restaurant 41. Look for a flight of green-tiled stairs. It has one of the best views of the beach.

This is a good place to go for breakfast, lunch or a light dinner in Camps Bay. The menu is not particularly imaginative, but the quality of food is high and so is the service. It’s positioned upstairs so you have a great view across the beach. You’ll find La Belle on the far end of the strip, after Paranga and up a large flight of stairs. www.labellecampsbay.co.za

think contemporary Street food. There are two branches of this restaurant. One in Bree St and the new one on Beau Constantia Wine Farm in Constantia. Although both are excellent I would recommend going to the one in Constantia, which is a five minute drive away. It has magnificent views and is in a lovely location. Please note the one in Bree St does not take reservations. Get there early, put your name down and enjoy the atmosphere whilst you wait.
