Chapman’s Peak Hotel

This restaurant, with a terrace with gorgeous views of Hout Bay, is ideal for a casual summer lunch. Order the perfectly fried or grilled calamari, the grilled line fish (a South African term for whatever fresh fish is available), a Greek salad and an icy beer or a Shandy—a popular South African concoction of beer and ginger ale. Afterward you can stroll on the beach nearby or wander around the shops in Hout Bay.
