Few things beat a good brunch, and Cape Town has hundreds of options. Great brunch spots are the ones that serve breakfast food a little later in the morning, so you can saunter in after a sleep-in, a hike, or a morning dip in the ocean. Where the coffee is delicious, and the food will fill you with all the warmth and satisfaction you need to make it home for a post-brunch nap.  Here are our top 6 brunch spots in Cape Town.

1. Starlings, Claremont

Starlings is one of those places you kind of have to be a local to know about (until now). It’s got no signpost and it’s hidden behind a large hedge on an unassuming street. They don’t take bookings, so you’d do well to get there early and grab a table in the garden. Vegetarian and healthy food options are available, and they have delicious carb-free bread as well as sweet baked treats to take home for later.

Breakfast hours: Weekdays 7am-12pm; weekends: 8am-12pm

2.The Food Barn Deli, Noordhoek

The Food Barn Deli is located in the Noordhoek Farm Village. The tables look onto the open-plan kitchen where all food is prepared fresh. The breakfast options are simple but delicious, with daily specials. They also serve beautiful local wines and bubbly. Breakfast is served all day, and in the evenings they serve gourmet tapas that will blow you away.

Breakfast hours: 8am-4pm

3.Jonkershuis, Constantia

Overlooking the expansive Constantia vineyards, Jonkershuis in Groot Constantia is a great choice for breakfast on a sunny day. They serve everything from scones and jam and oatmeal to classics like French toast and eggs and bacon.

Breakfast hours: 9am-11:30am

4.The Larder, Claremont

Just off the main drag near Cavendish Square is The Larder. It’s an intimate spot with quirky décor & warm ambience. The food is prepared fresh, and with love. The Johnny Depp is this café’s answer to eggs Benedict, and one of the most popular items.

Breakfast hours: Weekdays 7am-3:30pm; weekends 7am-1:30pm

5.Green Vine Eatery, Constantia

Green Vine is one of the fantastic restaurants in the Silvermist wine estate on Constantia Nek. The view is spectacular, overlooking the lush greenery of Table Mountain National Park. They serve standard breakfast fare, like eggs Benedict, fresh fruit with yoghurt and granola, and omelettes. What sets them apart, though, is the breakfast pizza, topped with sliced homemade sausage, bacon, caramelised onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella and eggs. And if you’re a particularly late riser, fear not—there is the brunch pizza on their all-day menu.

Breakfast hours: Weekdays 8am-11am; weekends 8am-10:30pm

6.The Pot Luck Club, Woodstock

And now for something completely different… The Pot Luck Club is a tapas-style restaurant started by Luke Dale-Roberts, of La Colombe fame. Here, brunch is a fine-dining set menu that kicks off at 11 am, on Sundays only. Tapas platters are served with freshly baked bread, salmon tataki, fish tacos, goat’s cheese, arancini, pork belly sliders, Arnold Bennets, and many other delectable treats. For an extra fee, you can also enjoy bottomless bubbly. This is not the place to go for your traditional bacon and eggs, but if you’d like to try unique dishes prepared by one of the country’s leading chefs, don’t miss it.

Breakfast hours: Starting from 11am
