Cape Town conjures visions of majestic Table Mountain, looming over the Mother City, and also of Nelson Mandela, who, upon release from prison in 1990, addressed the public as a free man from the City Hall balcony. Indeed, mountain and man maketh the character of this place. So, too, does the sweeping beauty of the Atlantic coast, the fynbos-rich Cape Floral Kingdom, and the fertile soil that nurtures pastures and influences terroir. Little wonder that there are myriad opportunities here to savor local curds paired with some of the finest New World wines around. \u201cWe are fortunate to be located near many of the producers and farmers who make such high-quality cheese,\u201d says Ann Dalton, manager of the annual South African Cheese Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been a better time for turophiles and oenophiles to tour South Africa\u2019s easygoing food capital. Most of Cape Town\u2019s restaurants and markets are located either in the Central Business District\u2019s (CBD)\u2014namely Bree and Kloof streets\u2014or a breezy, 30- to 50-mile drive into the Stellenbosch or Franschhoek winelands. Quaint estates steeped in history, striking landscapes, and contemporary eateries unite to create a quirky yet approachable gustatory destination.<\/p>\n

Culture Club Cheese<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sharing its name with Boy George\u2019s \u201980s band, Culture Club Cheese is a sunflower-yellow deli and restaurant opened in 2015 by cheesemaker and monger Luke Williams and his wife, Jessica Merton. The only dedicated cheese shop in the CBD, it was instrumental in helping make Bree Street a foodie hotspot. The store stocks inventive local goat\u2019s, sheep\u2019s, and cow\u2019s milk cheeses and dairy products, including Williams\u2019 homemade, probiotic-packed kefir and lacto-fermented kombucha, kimchi, and kraut. Spilling onto the sidewalk is an eatery serving fondue, raclette, and salads galore (try a m\u00e9lange of roasted vegetables, apples, Foxenburg Estate<\/a> ch\u00e8vre, and bean sprouts dolloped with creamy, housemade labneh). Planning a celebration? Order a cake made from stacked cheese wheels and crowned with figs and nuts.<\/p>\n

Saucisse Boutique Deli<\/a><\/h3>\n

In 2010, just as the gentrified suburb of Woodstock was emerging as a culinary and design hub, well-traveled chef Amanda Lewis opened a European-style deli and bistro at the Old Biscuit Mill. (She\u2019s in good company: Chef Luke Dale-Roberts established the world-famous Test Kitchen in the same complex.) A local produce champion, Lewis scours the Western Cape for offbeat artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and accompaniments, such as outstanding handmade brie, camembert, and manchego from Anura Vineyards Forest Hill Cheesery<\/a>. Her family-run deli\u2014Lewis\u2019 father, Derrick, often greets diners\u2014is also earth-friendly, packaging to-go cheese-and-charcuterie assortments in recyclable boxes.<\/p>\n

Dalewood Fromage<\/a><\/h3>\n

Cheesemaker and second-generation farmer Rob Visser is exceptionally proud of his doe-eyed Jersey cows\u2014the result of carefully controlled breeding. The animals graze on pasture at Dalewood, Visser\u2019s dairy farm in the hamlet of Simondium. There he produces an oozing, high-end statement wheel, Brie Superlatif (served at many posh weddings in the winelands); camembert; a selection of blues; and other French-style cheeses, as well as original creation Huguenot. Aged at least six months, the nutty, deeply savory cheese has racked up a dizzying array of awards\u2014and, at roughly 55 pounds, it\u2019s the largest wheel produced in South Africa. Thankfully, versatile Huguenot is available in much smaller quantities at the Dalewood Fromage shop.<\/p>\n

Fairview\u2019s luxuriant, full-fat cow\u2019s milk yogurt is available in select stores around the country. Turophiles can shop at the deli or sample overflowing platters of cheese paired with Fairview wines at the popular on-site restaurant, the Goatshed.

Crafted from a 150-year-old recipe, Healey\u2019s internationally lauded clothbound cheddar is matured up to a year at Waterkloof Wine Estate, a biodynamic farm in Somerset West cradled by the Hottentots Holland and Helderberg mountains. Thrice weekly, French-trained cheesemaker Desiree Stuart sources raw milk from grass-fed Holstein cows in Stellenbosch. Depending on the climate and time of year, Stuart and her team produce one of three mainstay cheddars: rich Noble, texturally similar to Gruy\u00e8re; limited-edition, blue-veined Waterkloof; and Single Release, only made during the rainy season, when pastures are lush. All are nutty, savory, and play well with any of the estate\u2019s crisp white wines (we like Circumstance Chenin Blanc). Additionally, the estate boutique sells local charcuterie, preserves, and sourdough bread arranged conveniently in picnic hampers.<\/p>\n

Markets<\/h1>\n

Earth Fair Food Market<\/a><\/h3>\n

Founded eight years ago in Cape Town\u2019s southern suburbs, Earth Fair Food Market caters to a mainly local crowd on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. (City-dwellers pick up healthful lunch and dinner supplies at the market\u2019s St Georges Mall outpost, open Thursdays.) Sheltered in a large warehouse, the Tokai location features rows of vendors hawking fresh produce. While Jane Selander\u2019s famed Constantia Cheesery stand is no more, Robin\u2019s (run by Robin van den Berg, a market founding father) is still kicking. Van den Berg produces a range of seasonal cheeses and handpicks weekly offerings from Anura Vineyards (Forest Hill Camembert, Brie, and more) and Gay\u2019s Guernsey Dairy. Gay\u2019s Prince Albert Royal, a mild cheddar, and Prince Albert Regal, a cheddar matured up to eight months, have garnered international acclaim\u2014van den Berg says it\u2019s tough to keep either cheese in stock. Also perennially hot: Gay\u2019s full-cream mozzarella.<\/p>\n

Lourensford Market<\/a><\/h3>\n

This Somerset West market, located on the immaculate, circa-1700 Cape Dutch Lourensford Wine Estate and fruit farm just 30 miles from the city center, has long, communal tables and a combination of permanent and pop-up stores (plus wine tastings and guided hikes). Be sure to stop by chef GhenwaSteingaszner\u2019s stall for tempting Lebanese, Levantine, and North African dishes. Her cold lunch spreads often include tzatziki and labneh served with salad or crisp falafel rolled in flatbread. Steingaszner leads classes and demos, too, where you can learn to make her excellent kanafeh<\/em>\u2014a baked dessert stuffed with mozzarella and drenched in sugar syrup scented with orange-blossom and rose waters. Bonus: Lourensford is one of a few farmers\u2019 markets open on Sundays.<\/p>\n

Interior designer Sandalene Dale-Roberts fashioned the Shortmarket Club\u2014the newest venture from her restaurateur-chef husband, Luke\u2014after British members-only bars. Located in a narrow alley and up a single flight of stairs, the softly lit space is outfitted with leather booths, antique lamps, stained-glass doors, and a long wall display of paper butterflies. A standout on the brief breakfast menu is a gratinated smoked hake Arnold Bennett\u2014a creamy omelet invented by London\u2019s Savoy Hotel\u2014accented with luscious b\u00e9chamel sauce.

Immigrant cousins Andrea Biondi, Simone Briganti, and Luca Pantani learned the tricks of the trade from their Nonna in northeast Italy\u2019s Romagna region. When the trio opened this restaurant in 2012 among dreary office buildings on Barrack Street, they increased foot traffic to an area that was once dead after dark. The cousins\u2019 signature dish is homemade tagliolini with mushrooms, cream, and thyme, stirred and served tableside from a brawny wheel of Italian Grana Padano. Equally divine is a simple starter of burrata from Puglia Cheese plated with tomato-balsamic reduction and fresh basil pesto.<\/p>\n

Ten miles from the city center in the upmarket suburb of Constantia, Greenhouse offers impeccable fine dining at the refined Cellars-Hohenhort Hotel. Relais&Ch\u00e2teaux grand chef Peter Tempelhoff and head chef Ashley Moss labor over seasonal and hyperlocal ingredients and have a way with dairy. Take their \u201cFour Degrees of Cheese\u201d course. It\u2019s essentially Dalewood Huguenot served in a quartet of vastly different preparations and temperatures: souffl\u00e9 (132\u00b0F), cheese sauce (68\u00b0F), panna cotta (46\u00b0F), and ice cream (28\u00b0F). \u201cSimple but brilliant\u201d is how Culture Club Cheese owner Luke Williams describes it. Book a room and make a night of it: Take an apr\u00e8s-dinner stroll on nearly ten acres of gardens then sleep off the feast in style.<\/p>\n

All five locations of this laidback eatery boast a vintage-biker-meets-Brooklyn-hipster aesthetic. The Blouberg branch overlooks the wild, frothy waves of the Atlantic\u2014surfers often drop their gear on the beach and run upstairs with sandy feet to grab grub. Come for the burgers, but stay for the drool-inducing Cheese Bombs: cheddar, mozzarella, and feta squished into phyllo pastry, deep-fried, and served with a mustard-mayo dipping sauce. Saucisse Boutique Deli owner Amanda Lewis claims that these melty snacks, coupled with an ice-cold craft beer, \u201cwill change your life.\u201d Yum.<\/p>\n

Named after the French word for seagull\u2014a nod to the birds that circle the bay in Sea Point\u2014La Mouette, housed in a grand Victorian residence with a splendid courtyard, hits the sweet spot between pub fare and upmarket cuisine. While the restaurant\u2019s legendary cheese-and-truffle croquettes are no longer on the menu\u2014sad!\u2014the cheese picnic delivered in a basket to the table is the new must-order. Contents vary per season, but a recent lineup included ash-dusted goat cheese, mature cheddar, and ripe brie served with buckwheat crispbread, pickled onions, and a jar of sweet tomato chutney. Insider tip: Book a private party for six or more and sit upstairs, away from the crowds.<\/p>\n

Other must-orders in rotation include famous street foods elote<\/em> and esquites<\/em>, both made with freshly charred corn, garlic-spiked sour cream sauce, and grated parmesan cheese.

A fine-dining stalwart, Myoga is casual during the day with a bistro-style menu; at night, corporate regulars and glammed-up date-night crowds descend. Save room for the Savory Dessert, a deconstructed cheese plate of sorts that starts with Culture Club Cheese goat\u2019s milk ricotta and Renosterbos, a hard goat\u2019s milk cheese with maple and pecan notes from Foxenburg. Cornbread, apricot gel and sorbet, cannoli shards, ch\u00e8vre-apricot cream, pickled red onion, cumin-dusted nuts, goat\u2019s whey foam, grilled nectarines, and more round out the heavenly plate. This veritable explosion of flavors has earned a slew of devotees\u2014 just don\u2019t ask any of them to recite the ingredient list!<\/p>\n

Marigold<\/a><\/h3>\n

Indian-South African chef Vanie Padayachee and billionaire businessman Analjit Singh launched Marigold in the wine village of Franschhoek. Contemporary and pared-down, the menu includes north Indian classics such as rogan josh<\/em> (lamb curry with chiles and yogurt) and dal makhni<\/em> (spiced black lentils). Padayachee orders paneer from Buffalo Ridge<\/a> in Wellington, the only Italian water buffalo farm and dairy in the country. She marinates fat blocks of the cheese for 24 hours in cream, yogurt, and her own tikka spice blend, then grills it in a tandoor oven. The paneer emerges gently charred on the outside and silky on the inside, ready for dunking in cilantro-mint chutney. Though pistachio-dipped kulfi<\/em> is dreamy here, consider an ice-cream flight at De Villiers Chocolate Caf\u00e9 nearby.<\/p>\n
