Table Mountain is undeniably Cape Town’s star, and is one of the prime reasons people come from far and wide to visit. What could be better than enjoying one of the city’s finest eateries while gazing upon the mountain’s beauty?
Here is a list of restaurants where you can see Table Mountain in all its splendor while enjoying world-class meals:
