    As we roll into summer, my must-try<\/a> list just keeps growing with exciting new restaurants opening up across the country and joining Dineplan. This month\u2019s highlights in Cape Town include a quirky Wes Anderson-inspired bar, fine African dining, and a spot for beautifully foraged dishes. Durban\u2019s bringing the vibes with all-day dining at a freshly renovated resort-style restaurant in Ballito and a beachy, boho spot in Umhlanga. Up in Joburg and Pretoria, we\u2019ve got a 7-course culinary adventure, whimsical morning and afternoon teas, and an Asian-style barbecue where you can grill right at your table.<\/p>\n

    The Wes Bistro and Bar<\/h4>\n

    (Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Step through the iconic yellow door on Shortmarket Street, and you\u2019re in for a burst of colour and quirky fun at Cape Town\u2019s new Wes Anderson-inspired bar and restaurant. With views of the cityscape, it’s a top spot for a laid-back lunch, an extra-special date night, or cocktails and snacks with friends after a busy day at work. The menu<\/a> has a little something for everyone \u2013 small plates to share, like mussels with fries and steak tartare, hearty mains like fish of the day, duck breast, and rack of lamb, plus desserts options like souffl\u00e9 beignets and a sweet sampler plate. “My intention is always to create spaces that from the moment you walk through the doors, you are transported to a feeling of greatness \u2013 where sophistication, style, and fun come together!” says owner Meg Kritzinger, “And this time round with The Wes I have been lucky enough to be inspired by the nostalgic world of Wes Anderson and his quirky movies \u2013 as well as my love for classic French bistros \u2013 so this really is a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
