Roodebloem Street Restaurants Hub
Throughout Cape Town, there are little restaurant hubs. It seems that birds of a feather, flock together. You can pick and choose the type of vibe you feel like. From the grungy Observatory, simply known as Obs by the locals, or the more sophisticated Harfield village.
The Roodebloem street restaurants hub strikes a balance somewhere in between. Situated on the edge of lower and upper Woodstock, it’s not smack in the middle of the edgy Woodstock, and not quite too fancy to feel snobby.
From café food, to authentic Italian or Caribbean dishes – you will definitely find something here to satisfy your tastebuds!
