Cape Town - Posh Peanuts


Now the Waterfront in Cape Town really is tourist central with a large number of shops, restaurants, and bars. It even has an Scottish (rather than an Irish) ale house. The selection of good restaurants available was pretty good. They even seem to have there own police force ensuring the tourist rand keeps on flowing into the local economy by scaring off any 'undesirables'.
On the Waterfront there was one fantastic grill /wine bar called Belthezar which allegedly has 600 wines on offer, nearly all South African, and a few rogue french ones on offer. Some were even on a posh 'tap' system which didn't happen to be working that night due to 'no gas'. Many of the 600 wines on offer are served by the glass at the bar with free bar snacks. In the case of this establishment...peanuts just wouldn't do.
