When someone whispers the word “Caprice”, Cape Town locals immediately associate it with Camps Bay’s split-level Sunday night jol.

Others might think of the sandwich (that’s caprese, dahling).

We all know Cafe Caprice is a good day-time escape from the office, but check out this recent review:

Recovering from a heinous laryngitis, it was a real pleasure to sit in the sunny open windows of Caprice, catching up work, while occasionally letting my eyes delight in the softly rolling waves dancing on the golden sands of Camps Bay beach. Along with a tasty chicken wrap and good coffee, it was a most cheerful way to spend a sickly recovery lunch, being served by the most delightful of “peach gypseas”, Clare. Thank you

Well, that reviewer isn’t the only one to give Caprice five stars.

I rate it’s their burgers:

Ja, bra.

Have you ever taken a bite out of a Dreamy Burger? It’s the best thing that side of the Twelve Apostles mountain range:

So, next Tuesday is a date?
