Cape Town has an eruv around its Jewish community. Boundaries vary, so check the map with the local community. The eruv is checked weekly - confirm its status before Shabbat.
Shabbat meals in Cape Town
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat, so Friday-night dinner and Shabbat lunch are at the Chabad house. Register ahead - most close bookings by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within an easy walk of the Chabad house - for a relaxed meal and a short, pleasant stroll back.

Sea Point is Cape Town's walkable Jewish neighbourhood: Cape Beth Din (UOS) restaurants, shuls and Chabad on St Johns Road. Table Mountain and Camps Bay are a half-day — no kosher food on the mountain, eat in Sea Point first. Shabbat is built for walking. Do not stay at the V&A Waterfront if you need a shul on foot. The Press is the sit-down meat meal; Goldies for deli and Friday trays.
