You dine at GINJA on the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, with Table Mountain as the backdrop. The restaurant serves a contemporary menu with South African flavours and a focus on local ingredients. The kitchen works with seasonal produce, so the dishes change with the harvest. You can eat inside or on the terrace, with the mountain in view either way.

The restaurant is a short walk from the water’s edge, so you can hear the harbour as you eat. The menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a Sunday brunch that brings tables together for a shared meal. The kitchen accommodates dietary requests, and the wine list focuses on South African vineyards.

The terrace is the place to sit for sundowners, with the mountain turning gold as the sun sets. The restaurant is part of the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, but it is open to everyone.
