Food Scene
I love this spot because it's really just so authentically Jamaican but also authentically Cape Town. It's a hangout for locals.. it has amazing views across the harbour and is just a cool spot to chill and sip on a cocktail amongst chilled people on a lazy afternoon.

This is not a mall in the sense of a mall. It does however have loads of shopping spots in the building. The Bromwell is a transformed sophisticated and refined boutique mall that offers an array of limited edition and one-off pieces.
Once The Bromwell Hotel, a landmark of Woodstock since 1927, now a lush destination for all things glorious. Wander from room to room to find the pick of South African and international designers. Art, sculpture, rare decor, jewellery and top end fashion and accessories awaits.

One of the country’s only true speak-easy bars, accessed through a Chocolate Café, and nestled within a Mediterranean-style secret courtyard.
Inspired by the history of the heritage building itself (which was a morgue until recently) and the "Quack" medicinal history of gin and Juniper (the defining ingredient of gin), The Gin Bar offers elixirs, tinctures and potions to cure all manner of ills.
