Food Scene

The whole earth café is a holistic eatery situated in the heart of the seaside town of Scarborough, Cape Town. They provide cuisine that is true to nature, promoting a healthier lifestyle using only the freshest ingredients that are ethically and locally sourced. Best for Breakfasts or light lunches. I always have the steak and it is amazing. Also try their selection of original fresh juices. I always have the "Fruit boost" they have also recently opened a small deli with lots of great food items to choose from.

One of the original restaurants in Scarborough, has recently been taken over by new management. Expect simple yet hearty food, reasonable prices and simple decor. They have a little beer garden out the back if you feel like having drinks later on. They also have a tiny shop at the back which has been supplying scarborough with milk, bread and cigarettes since I can remember.

I grew up in this building so I have no choice but to mention it. Set on a beautiful farm about 4 kilometres outside of scarborough on the drive to Cape Point, it is a charming place with good, simple food served in a really pretty outdoor setting. Run by my father Ben and stepmother Rose, They also throw the best afternoon summer concerts this side of Kirstenbosch.

Sightseeing

Cape Point needs no introduction and should be a "must see" if you are staying in Scarborough. One of the most iconic and beautiful peninsulas in the world. Take at least a full day to explore the many hidden coves, beautiful vistas and of course the Point itself.
