WHERE TO DRINK AND EAT
By Brent Perremore, Cape Town local and Mixologist at Asoka
Sit back and relax to the smooth sounds of jazz at the Asoka Lounge on trendy Kloof Street. With a hip crowd and the best cocktails and food in town, Tuesday night is the night to be seen. Match your smooth grooves with an equally smooth Chivas 12. The food scene in Cape Town is buzzing – your best bet is to try a different place every night.
WHAT TO WEAR
By Mr Porter, the destination for men’s style
There’s plenty of continental drift in the discerning Cape Towner’s wardrobe.
The country’s colonial heritage finds common ground with a vibrant African aesthetic, rich with prints and patterns. It takes a certain fearlessness to combine classic silhouettes with bold motifs but Cape Towners pull it off. Try mixing Club Monaco’s stretch-cotton twill blazer with Christopher Raeburn’s shark-print tee and a pair of Incotex navy blue shorts.
WHAT TO PACK
By James Fisher, Globe-Trotter
For a relaxed trip like this, our classic Centenary 30" Black Extra Deep is perfect – both classic and understated.
WHERE TO STAY
By Brent Perremore, Cape Town local and Mixologist at Asoka
The location of the Mount Nelson is unsurpassed. Nestled in the foothills of Table Mountain this is a luxury hotel that is not to be missed.
