Delicious restaurant browsing

by The Eternal Nomad

Meeting up with friends or potential business partners brings about the mandatory task of having to find the restaurant.   It’s a tough task when your reputation is at stake!  Cape Town has a number of websites covering these topics, however it took me some time to find a restaurant in a particular location with the right menu, good wines and ambience I was looking for.

The Tall Norwegian and I have decided to take the pain out of restaurant-searching and have posted on our 2010 Cape Town site, a list of restaurants in the CBD under the Cape Town Interactive Map section (we’re working at further afield!).  This is very much a work in progress.  We wanted a page to go to that would let you search by location first  (we generally agree to “where” first, unless someone has heard of a good place to go).

We’ve added the restaurant details to each placename on the map, so that you can find out more if the location is right.  We’re adding more capability to the filter section, because we’re wanting to let you search by other important faculties like parking (I’m still getting used to the Long Street walk at night), nearest petrol station and ATM (for those who leave these things to before, during or after the meal).

You’ll be able to find our own reviews on the Siteta blog in the Meals Out section. We have a lot of restaurants to cover and we’re meant to be exercising off the London pounds, so be patient!

If you’ve heard of a good restaurant worth visiting, or you’d like to comment on one the restaurants we’ve reveiwed, please do let us know.
