Ask for one of their two outdoor gazebos overlooking the water. Reserve dinner at La Colombe, one of the world’s best restaurants totally worth a stop at.
Day 2: Cape Peninsula and Table Mountain

Table Mountain flanks the beautiful city of Cape Town. Consider a sunset hike up the mountain or take the cable carts up to see the views of the entire city. Finally, resort to dinner at Signal at Cape Grace or Reverie Social Table.
