If you haven’t heard there’s been some newness in Cape Town on the halaal restaurant front. A great reason to head out this coming weekend to try something you haven’t had before. First up:

Dip n Dip, V&A

This speciality dessertery offers decadent and seriously chocolatey dessert. It’s an international franchise with a branch now where Myatt used to be. Their signature is to drizzle the chocolate over your dessert choice at your table. Be prepared for a sizeable chunk out of your wallet though.

Against the Grain Coffee Shop, BoKaap

This newly opened coffee shop has an urban hip, relaxed vibe in the BoKaap serving Malay fusion cuisine. The decor is a big part of the attraction and they serve their own special blend of coffee.
