We've compiled the best of the best in Simon's Town - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
Simon's Town's best restaurant is often packed with regulars who come for good food that's decidedly a few notches above regular café fare. Diners tuck into great breakfasts and a variety of healthy vegan and vegetarian dishes, but there's also a choice of pastas and pizzas, seafood dishes prepared with whatever's fresh off the boat, and a small wine list. Plus, there are coffee drinks, cakes, and assorted light meals if you've got time restraints.
Head up the stairs to grab a seat and choose from a delicious menu of carefully prepared toasted sandwiches, light meals, coffees, and various treats. Make time to browse the wonderfully assembled antiques and oddities that decorate the space, from furniture and clothing to Elvis memorabilia and old movie projectors, and all kinds of quirky vintage items—everything is displayed with a museum-grade dash of whimsy (you can even pose in a London telephone booth) and everything is for sale. There's seating on the balcony where you can catch a bit of a view, maybe even hear when a whale's been spotted—from up here you'll be able to see it. It's probably the most welcoming spot in town.
