My brother-in-law and his wife are Jewish and live in Johannesburg. They say there are plenty of Kosher restaurants in Johannesburg but were surprised by how hard it was to find kosher restaurants in Cape Town. They are visiting again in a month and I'd like to take them out to dinner. Any suggestions?
I guess it all depends on what you're looking for, whether it's a fancy meal, or deli-type food, but check out Goldie's on the Main Road in Sea Point for awesome fish and baked goods, and Kaplan Centre Kitchen at UCT in Rondebosch is a meat and Parev restaurant serving great pickles and deli eats. The restaurant at the Jewish Museum in Cape Town also does great kosher food - there is even a kosher cook book shop attached to the cafe if you're keen to try some recipes at home.
For some more general info on restaurants in the Mother City, check out our Restaurants in Cape Town page.
Then I think Avron's Place in Sea Point is kosher. I know they're closed on Shabbat. http://www.avronsplace.co.za/
