Tides, Cape Town

Located at the Bay Hotel, this upscale South African restaurant provides panoramic views of Camps Bay through a wall of sliding glass windows, which are kept open when the weather is pleasant. The dining room also contains white-clothed tables, light wood chairs, and off-white walls, which enhance the bright, airy setting. Emphasizing local ingredients, the menu includes dishes like fresh oysters with mango chutney, followed by smoked kudu with melon. A temperature-controlled, walk-in wine cellar houses a wide variety of regional vintages, some of which are incorporated into entrées like the springbok served with a local Shiraz reduction.
