Capetonians take their food and brunch seriously, so much so there are literally hundreds of coffee shops and restaurants across the city that serve up remarkable brunches.
If you are one of those people who take brunch seriously, here are some restaurants to choose from.
Hemelhuijs
This restaurant is a small oasis in the heart of the city. It is more than just a breakfast or brunch spot, though its early morning meals are certainly what’s got most people talking about this establishment.
It offers ideal escapism from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can indulge in freshly made jewel-coloured juices, paradisal cocktails or their custom-blended coffee, exotic teas, along with all-day breakfasts.
Options include everything from salted butter and preserve on toast to fresh fruit and a selection of creatively cooked breakfasts. Hemelhuijs is a perfect spot for family or friends looking for a relaxed brunch. An average main meal can cost R140.
