They say that you first feast with your eyes before you take a bite, and in some cases that starts before you\u2019re served any food. Once you walk into a beautiful restaurant you\u2019re immediately excited for your meal. A stylish interior can heighten your meal tenfold. In Cape Town, we\u2019re spoiled for pretty restaurants, so here are our favourite restaurant to look (and eat) at.<\/p>\n

Hallelujah<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look, let\u2019s be upfront here, even if Hallelujah\u2019s interior wasn\u2019t great we\u2019d still be queuing for those lobster rolls and pok\u00e9. Luckily, it\u2019s styled like a surfer\u2019s tropical paradise with hypnotic flamingo wallpaper, a surfboard and kitsch neon lights. Just walking into the restaurant makes you feel cool. The food drives all these good looks home too, as chef Emma Hofmans serves up some of the best fare in the city.<\/p>\n

Equus Dine at Cavalli<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into clean, minimalist lines and dramatic artwork, then Equus is the restaurant for you. With a menu set around their stunning vegetable garden, their food is wonderfully representative of the surroundings. And those surroundings extend to the gorgeous interiors, complete with a gilded bar, retro light fittings and striking art installations. Oh, and the views aren\u2019t bad either.<\/p>\n

Shortmarket Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke Dale-Roberts\u2019 newest endeavour is turning out some exciting food but at the moment we\u2019re crushing on the interior. Raspberry walls, vintage fittings and lush, rich woods all meld together to create a classy, old-world feel.The biggest calling card of the space however is a wall of framed, paper cut out butterflies using old Test Kitchen floor plans, photos and mementos from Luke\u2019s older restaurants.\u00a0Luke’s wife Sandalene took creative control of Shortmarket and we have to say, she’s done a cracking job.<\/p>\n

Mulberry & Prince<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing that most people mention when they speak about Mulberry and Prince is the decor. It really is a sight to behold. We love the cool clash of pinks, metallics and rough concrete. The restaurant was designed with local artist Kurt Pio\u2019s works in mind, and there are a number of his impressive pieces dotted around. When it comes to this newbie, you come for the delicious food but stay for the sumptuous interior.<\/p>\n

Idiom Restaurant and Wine Tasting Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collaboratively designed by architect Thomas Leach and the Bottega family, the recently built restaurant and wine tasting room at Idiom is a beautiful, clean space that makes the most of its\u00a0incredible surroundings. The\u00a0winery\u00a0is set high in the Helderberg Mountains and has been built using rocks quarried from the surroundings. Inside the restaurant and tasting room boasts an incredible view over the valley; the light and airy space is framed by textured beams that have been created out of single Bluegum trees. Sculptures by artist father-son duo Anton and Lionel Smit are dotted around the garden and interior and complete the look of this contemporary Italian-inspired space.<\/p>\n
