THE SILO CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
CAPE TOWN’S GROWING GOURMET SCENE IS BECOMING A MAJOR DRAW
From serious coffee culture, to food markets and artisanal producers as well as the beautiful, world-renowned winelands – it’s heaven for hardcore foodies. The best base from which to explore these culinary highlights is the brand-new and long-awaited Silo. Situated on the V&A Waterfront, in a former grain silo, the hotel has been stunningly redesigned by award-winning British architect Thomas Heatherwick.

The 28 rooms, public areas and restaurant have bulging floor-to-ceiling glass windows for jaw-dropping views of Table Mountain and out to Robben Island. The in-the-know concierge can get you a reservation at most of the popular restaurants, and The Pot Luck Club (a sharing, tapas-style menu) and Shortmarket Club (updated classics from an open kitchen) should definitely be on your itinerary – both are under the helm of chef Luke Dale-Roberts. Highlights include an asparagus dish modernised with a hazelnut and miso hollandaise porcini purée and Parmesan slow-roasted pork cheek drizzled honey. Oh, and don’t miss Café, a short walk from the waterfront. It’s a great spot hip locals while lunching on calamari with salsa verde and and line-caught kingklip.
