CAFÉ BLOUBERG

BEST FOR All-day breakfasts with a view. FOOD Start your day with the Blouberg: a poached egg with grilled polenta, crispy bacon, mushroom-and-thyme sauce and toast. Traditional eggs Benedict with bacon or smoked trout come with poached eggs and delicious home-made Hollandaise sauce. There's also a health option with muesli and yoghurt, goji berries and honey. Their baked goodies are legendary: fantastic little cakes, freshly baked scones with preserves and cream, lemon meringue pie and baked cheesecakes. All are fabulous to look at and even better to eat. The meat pies are the best on the West Coast. DRINKS Small selection of local wines, not badly priced. SERVICE Always friendly and professional. AMBIENCE Obviously noteworthy is the view:

Table Mountain seen across the bay in its classic pose is an attraction in itself, but outside seating is limited and much in demand. The interior is cosy and welcoming. (TMS)
