***Andrew’s Tips: ‘The Cod Father’ is a must if you love your fish and the Hussar Grill is fabulous if you love a steak. Both are situated in the Camps Bay area.
Buy a Table Mountain day pass in advance. This is valid for seven days so you can get up the mountain. Make sure you take advantage of visiting at a time there’s an opportunity of no cloud cover and the cable car is open.
