Where to Eat in Fish Hoek and Surrounds

The range of diverse restaurants from Kalk Bay to Cape Point offers all tourists the opportunity to sample authentic Cape Cuisine. Choosing where to eat is easy because unique dining spots open their doors to customers every day of the week. Did you know that the Cape Malay culture evolved after 1652 when the Dutch arrived in the Cape and sourced for the port from Indonesia and parts of Africa? The new culture and its cuisine reflect these origins in a smorgasbord of delicious dishes and desserts! Have you tried koeksisters, bobotie, bredie, breyani and sosaties?
