The Hildebrand name has graced Cape Town since 1898, when it first opened its doors as a chocolate shop. Today this grand dame - with her wooden wall-panels and plush carpets - emanates a dignified old-world charm. The terrace is a treat on sunny days – offering expansive views and a background soundtrack of crooning buskers
Food: Traditional Italian (including authentic regional dishes and seafood) – from venison to osso bucco and veal
Drinks: The wine list is extensive
The Ultimate: Hildebrand was awarded the “Ristorante Italiano” award by the Italian government for providing a true Italian dining experience
