2. Massimo’s

Massimo's is a wonderful restaurant in Cape Town where you can have very delicious pizzas.

For example, on the walls are silent old movies projected in the evening.

Moreover, the restaurant has also an area outside where you can have dinner. This place is very family-friendly since children can play there.

Also, the story of the restaurant is really amazing. One of the owners is from Italy and both of the owners totally fell in love with South Africa when they came there in 2003.

4. Lelapa

Lelapa is another one of the best restaurants in Cape Town.

This restaurant exists since 1999 and the meaning of the name of the restaurant is "the home".

The founders of the restaurant are mother and daughter. When they noticed buses with many tourists driving by their township they wanted to make a place where people could have dishes from the authentic township cuisine.

Furthermore, the restaurant wants people to have a traditional township experience.

Also, they want to share stories of the history with the guests. This makes the restaurant very unique. I would highly recommend having dinner here!

The food at this restaurant is very delicious. You should have a look at their menu for sure.
