00:00If cities had beachy pageants, Cape Town would be a fine list.
00:04With record tourist arrivals, the dining scene is amping up too, and even Dwell Lipa is noticing.
00:09Finding the city's top spots isn't easy, so here's a few to give you a head start.
00:14The country's first local chef to receive a Michelin-star abroad returned home, opening a bistro in the waterfront.
00:20Jan Hendrik van de Westezen's menu celebrates French cooking, using South African ingredients in creative ways.
00:26And since this is a harbour town where two oceans meet, any fish on any menu is a must-have,
00:32especially at Jan.
00:33Also, try the beef cheeks and keep room for Jan's Malfa Pudding, a sticky pudding-like dessert based on his
00:39mother's recipe.
00:40If you're familiar with Tasha's cafes that span the globe, its founder just opened a new spot in Seapoint.
00:47Arlechino emphasizes Mediterranean and Italian food. Think pasta dishes, grilled sea bass, and brinzino carpaccio.
00:54The restaurant has a playful theatricality on display, as seen in these Harlequin-style serving uniforms.
01:01And of course, we have to include a Bloomberg Dine Index favorite that singer Dua Lipa raved about during a
01:07recent trip.
01:08La Colombe in Constantinac.
01:10It's the highest-ranked dining room in Africa on the world's 50 best restaurants, and if it's got Dua Lipa's
01:15seal of approval, you have to give it a try.
01:17Check out the rest of Bloomberg's top five tables in London, New York, and beyond.
