With its sunny weather and natural appeal,
Cape Town is a city that's for the entire family. There's so much a family can do in this bustling metropolis, ranging from spending the day at the beach to going camping in the nearby mountains. And of course, you can always eat out too! Cape Town boasts a treasure trove of family-friendly restaurants you and your loved ones would do well to check out! In Somerset West, for example, Stables at Vergelegen offers food and fun in equal measure. The country-style Zevenwacht Restaurant by the Kuils River, on the other hand, takes its little customers as seriously as they do adults with its awesome menu of culinary kiddie favorites.
Blue Water Café
Take your kids to Blue Water Café in once and they'll thank you forever! This quaint little hotspot Kommetjie, which lies along the outskirts of Cape Town, is a children's favorite. The place is said to serve up the most delicious pizzas in South Africa and many of the little ones agree. But even if they're not in the mood for a slice, they can still look forward to some juicy chicken burgers and classic fish & chips. They'll barely get bored either. The Imhoff Farm, where the cafe is located, also features a petting zoo, a jungle gym, and more.
Café Roux
Another cafe that's worth any family's while is Café Roux in Noordhoek, one of the central suburban
neighborhoods in Cape Town. Its location alone is enough to convince you just how family-friendly this place is, but wait until you see what's in store! For one thing, the cafe offers a separate kids' menu that features toasties with fries, grilled chicken breast, and Hawaiian pizza. These dishes are a lot healthier compared to what other restaurants will serve your little ones. And while they wait for their food to arrive, they can play at the outdoor jungle gym that's safely within the premises.
Deer Park Café
It seems some of the
best cafes in Cape Town for mostly family-friendly. Another great one is Deer Park Café in Vredehoek. Situated on a hillside park that boasts lovely seaside views, its pleasant, somewhat countryside ambiance is perfect for a pleasant family meal. Unfortunately, there aren't any deer your little ones can pet despite the cafe's name. There are, however, kiddie favorites they'll surely love! What kid wouldn't want chicken burgers with spaghetti? Especially after working up quite the appetite by playing in the outdoor playground. After just one visit, they'll want to go back again and again!
Die Damhuis Restaurant
The Die Damhuis Restaurant in Melkbosstrand is the kind of place that your kids will want to go back to again and again. You won't think of it at first as the place itself looks pretty refined and perhaps even too upscale to bring your little ones. But don't worry! The restaurant has a massive playground to entertain them, complete with a sand pit, a swirly slide, a lighthouse-styled fort, and more. You'll practically have to drag them back to your table when their food arrives, which will likely be hotdogs or fried fish fillet fingers
Massimo’s
Is Hout Bay's Massimo’s a family-friendly
restaurant in Cape Town? Why yes, it is! You'll know it the instant you spot the jungle gym by the entrance of the hotspot. Your children will probably want to zoom straight to it instead of going with you inside to get a table. Just let them play! They'll work up a big appetite by the time their food is served. And what kind of food does Massimo's serve the little ones, exactly? Pizza and pasta, of course! When they get so hungry after playing around outside, they'll finish every bite!
Mont Marie Restaurant
At the heart of Stellenbosch, Cape Town's own wine country, you'll find the Mont Marie Restaurant. Considering its location, you'd think that this is an adults-only type of establishment, but nope! Kids are more than welcome here too. It even boasts a large outdoor area where kids can run around, play, and have a ball! If you're not careful, they might forget about eating all together! Don't worry! The restaurant's scrumptious selection of kiddie pizzas, burgers, and waffles will lure them back inside and to your table. Just expect them to eat fast because they'll want to go back outside as soon as possible.
Stables at Vergelegen
The Vergelegen Wine Estate is beautiful enough to rival the more famous
vineyards in Italy. It's the perfect place for a staycation within Cape Town, whether it's just you and your spouse or if the kids join you too. Of course, they won't get to taste the fine wine produced by the estate but at least they can have a swell time dining at the Stables restaurant. Here, a massive playground awaits your little ones, full of tunnels, slides, and more. That'll be more than enough to keep them entertained as you wait for their cheeseburgers and creamy milkshakes to arrive at your table.
The Company’s Garden Restaurant
When you
move to Cape Town, sometimes, you and your family just need to take a break from it all. Even if it's just for a meal! Fortunately, you don't have to go outside of Cape Town to get that much-needed peace & quiet. The Company’s Garden Restaurant serves as the perfect botanical oasis for a much-needed retreat. Even if the place is crowded, it doesn't get so noisy here that you'll still feel like you're in the thick of Cape Town's hustle and bustle. What's even better is that your kids will love it here too. It includes a great playground and the menu has enough kiddie favorites for them to enjoy.
