  • 1. Cheyne's & Lucky Bao

    $$$$

    Serving Pacific Rim cuisine from a funky and intimate location in Hout Bay, Cheyne's is the place to go for inventive, pan-Asian small plates. The menu changes entirely each season but is generally divided into the categories of sea, land, earth, poké bowls, and happy endings. Plates are appetizer-size, and some winners include the chili-salt squid with sesame mayo; pork belly chasu with 5-spice; and the oddly named but insanely good deep-fried milk flavored with red pepper and ponzu. Addictive tastes, friendly service, and the graffiti-artist-meets-magazine-stylist interior have ensured that this unique and vibey joint is fully booked most weekends.  For something more casual, check out Lucky Bao, the tiny neighboring sister-venue serving five types of bao and a few Asian sides.

  • 3. Massimo's

    $$

    Having begun as a pizza joint, this casual Hout Bay eatery located in an old barn now serves a range of delightfully simple Italian fare from antipasti to pastas, as well as what is still arguably Cape Town's best pizza. The "spuntini" or antipasti include classics like Italian meatballs, Caprese salad, and panfried spinach with toasted pine nuts. Pastas are great, but pizza is why you are here. Gluten-free options, craft beers, and warm service and an uber-casual ambience all make this place a local favorite. A small play area in the front and a huge one in the back make this a super family-friendly venue.  For groups of six or more, book ahead for the great-value and super-fun "Italian Feast" sharing option.
