    This July, there are plenty of great places to eat out in Cape Town and Joburg. From exciting new openings to food markets and time-tested favourites, I\u2019ve highlighted eight top spots worth booking this month. Expect everything from a breezy new seafood restaurant by the beach to a cosy Winelands escape, a vibey new Mexican cocktail club, Korean street food, and two popular steakhouses \u2013 one brand new, the other a local legend. These are my must-have reservations<\/a> and the restaurants to have on your radar this July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Time Out Market Cape Town \"Accepts<\/a><\/h4>\n

    (V&A Waterfront, Cape Town)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Cape Town\u2019s Time Out Market at the V&A Waterfront is a buzzing hub of flavour \u2013 and now, you can pre-book your table on the Dineplan app<\/a> and skip the scramble for seats. Choose a comfy shared booth upstairs or grab a communal table downstairs near all the food and drink vendors. Set inside the historic Old Power Station Building, this food hall is home to 14 kitchens, three bars, a dedicated wine bar, and a live events stage \u2013 all under one roof. It\u2019s where some of SA\u2019s best chefs and restaurants come together, serving up everything from local classics to global street food. Plenty of Dineplan favourites have set up shop here too \u2013 we recommend Carne<\/a> for a perfectly cooked steak by Giorgio Nava, Una M\u00e1s<\/a> for punchy Mexican<\/a> street food and tacos, and Ramenhead<\/a> for rich, slurp-worthy bowls of handmade ramen. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this spot deserves a regular visit.<\/p>\n
