Blues is seems to be no longer an excellent restaurant with locals warning of terrible service and poor food letting down the nice decor. This assesment is correct is recent tourist reports about Blues are correct. Expensive as well.There is a great bar next door which serves fantastic cocktails and plays good chill / ambient music during the day and has a DJ on weekend nights. They bar also sells good food, which is prepared in the restaurant kitchens next door. Codfather is an uusual and popular restuarant with no menu - just select the fish you want from the counter
Take time to wander down the street before you decide to eat. However in Blues and probably some of the other restaurants, you will need to book in advance on peak nights.
When it's time to go home, get a cab back to Cape Town and you’ll be there in 20 minutes.
