Photos: Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town has become a new frontier for chefs around the world. The city is home to eight of the top 10 South African restaurants listed in the 2012 Eat Out Awards, and the country’s only two restaurants to make it into the 2012 San Pellegrino World’s Best Awards. At every turn, it’s also possible to savor the traditional dishes, speckled and spiced with global influences, that helped shaped the region.
