    We were one of the first to go to Bao Down when it opened & still rate this restaurant as our favourite in Cape Town. Once you go, you have to come back. The BEST!

    We had a fantastic time at Bao Down. The food was excellent and our waitron, Penny, was super knowledgeable about the food and gave us great recommendations. Penny was also super friendly and efficient. Really fun evening and will be back!
