Cape Town & Winelands

Where the harbor meets the vineyard.

Irene Koo, editor

A note from the editor

When I honeymooned in the region, I came back with more questions than answers: where can you experience Braai or Cape Malay cuisine? Is seafood popular among locals, or just what travelers expect? What are the exciting fine dining options, and can you day-trip to the wineries? I interviewed local insiders to answer these in this guide.
