Last updated: Tuesday, 6 May 2025

Winter is the perfect weather for cosy dates, like a sexy night out at a hidden speakeasy or wine tasting in a cave. And dates don’t always have to be romantic. Your friends will love Cape Town’s first arcade bar with free games, and kids can make their own chocolate bars at an artisanal chocolate store.

FAMOUS CAPE MALAY COOKING CLASS

You’ll learn how to make things like samoosas, chilli bites, bobotie and curry. More famous guests at Faeeza’s Home Kitchen include Roger Federer, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. 

Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm; Saturday, 9am to 4pm
