Cape Town
It's hard to beat the views of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak from the wrap-around, plant-potted balcony of this appealing and very Woodstock restaurant and bar. They do some interesting cocktails and have craft beer and wine as well as a tasty, low-alcohol, homemade pineapple beer.
The chef and waiters will also run through the blackboard menu with you; we found some items a bit overly ambitious with muddled flavours, though.
