The Foodbarn

The coastal Cape Peninsula drive, winding through Hout Bay, Chapman’s Peak Drive, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, Simon’s Town, and much more, is at the top of every Cape Town must-do list. But it’ll take you a half day at least, and you’re going to need to pause for lunch at some point. When the hunger kicks in, make sure it’s somewhere near Noordhoek so you can pop into Foodbarn, a laid-back barn-restaurant helmed by chef Franck Dangereux. The casual setting belies the refined French-inflected fare, like duck liver parfait with toasted thyme brioche or slow-braised pork belly with Provençale lentil estoufade.
