Our guide
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.
Our recommendations
- Base in Sea Point or Bantry Bay — not the Waterfront if Shabbat walking matters.
- Book The Press for the evening; Friday trays at Goldies or via Chabad.
- Table Mountain early, before wind and cloud.
