Openwine

Top choice in Cape Town


The motto here is 'wine first, food second', so while there is a short menu, it's the range of 200-plus different wines from across the Western Cape that are the focus. Check out what they have by the glass on their 'drinkable blackboard' and then settle down either inside or outside to enjoy a drop or two.
