Cape Malay restaurants in Africa

  1. Cape Malay Restaurant

    It’s dinner only at this long-running outpost of haute Cape Malay cooking, but pitch up earlier to enjoy the hotel’s splendid gardens or sip a cocktail in the chic Martini Bar. The three-course set meal might include refined versions of dishes such as smoor snoek (a soupy fish stew) and malva pudding.

    Noon Gun Tearoom & Restaurant

    High on Signal Hill, this is a fine place to sample Cape Malay dishes such as bobotie (curried mince pie topped with egg custard), bredies (pot stews of meat or fish, and vegetables) and dhaltjies (deep-fried balls of chickpea-flour batter mixed with potato, coriander and spinach).

    Biesmiellah

    Not much to look at, and seldom big on atmosphere, Biesmiellah nonetheless offers authentic and spicy Cape Malay and Indian food in a room decorated with tapestries. It’s all halal and no alcohol is served.

    De Volkskombuis

    A local favourite that’s open year-round, this no-frills, atmospheric place specialises in traditional Cape Malay cuisine.
