February is famously hailed as the ‘Month of Love’ and, with all that romance lingering in the air, why not plan a special, romantic meal for your significant other, galentine or even the family?

In this post, we share some romantic places to dine at in February.

Best of all, they are all conveniently situated along the Atlantic Seaboard (which stretches from the V&A Waterfront to Hout Bay), Cape Town’s city centre and the Constantia Winelands, so you don’t have to travel far to enjoy a stunning meal with your loved one(s)!

1) La Colombe (Constantia)

Arguably one of the most romantic, timelessly beautiful fine dining restaurants in Cape Town is La Colombe at Silvermist. If there’s any romantic restaurant you should save up to enjoy in the Mother City, it has to be this one.

Situated at the lovely Silvermist Estate, this Constantia-based restaurant has won countless awards and it enjoys a flawless reputation for good reason.

This French-meets-Asian-style fine dining restaurant has several set menu options, namely a Reduced Menu, Reduced Vegetarian Menu and the Chefs Menu or Vegetarian Chefs Menu.
Each menu option is sure to leave you spellbound as the food is, quite literally, art on a plate and it tastes as amazing as it looks!

At La Colombe, you can treat your special someone to an unforgettable meal; pop the question in a gorgeous, intimate setting; or simply celebrate your love’s stay.

Note: Advance bookings are highly recommended, as the restaurant sometimes books up a few weeks in advance.

2) Azure Restaurant (Camps Bay)

As a winner of South Africa’s Best Hotel Restaurant at the 2020 World Culinary Awards, Azure Restaurant, found at the 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa in Camps Bay, is not to be missed during the ‘Month of Love’.

This romantic seafood restaurant is blessed with stunning panoramic sea views; a menu that champions exquisite local ingredients; and of course, a refined dining space (with indoor and outdoor seating) second to none.

Enjoy a memorable meal here with your special someone, as you savour the best of the Atlantic Seaboard.
