Papa San’s sushi is not for purists, but inventive options keep regulars returning. Think chilli-popper California rolls and dishes laced with Togaroshi spice, lime yuzu mayo and special eel sauce. Servings are generous and cuts super chunky. It’s slick and smart, with face brick and pale wood panelling.

An ode to chef/designer Jacques Erasmus’ love of modern, rich and interesting design, and the Afrikaner food of his childhood. You’ll find warming marrowbone soups in winter and zingy salads such as shaved coleslaw with prawns, golden sultanas, chilli and fresh ginger in summer. It’s small but very stylish.

Madame Zingara has breathed new life into this historical restaurant. Outdoor tables beneath the trees are like gold dust. Main meals arrive in generous portions and range from tasty beer-battered hake and chips to farmhouse cheese platters, and sticky mustard and marmalade spatchcocked chicken. They also do a great salmon Benedict.
