I will try to keep this post short. Our route home carried us back through Cape Town. This time I made the hotel and restaurant choices myself. We chose to stay at Silvermist Wine Estate in a suburb called Constantia. It was chosen because the wine estate is the location of a world-renowned restaurant, La Colombe, where I was able to secure a lunch reservation. If it sounds familiar, it might be because I already wrote about its younger sister, La Petite Colombe, in Franschhoek. The restaurant and the hotel were both outstanding. I haven’t planned a return trip yet, but will the next time we are in the vicinity. It was fancy (maybe over-the-top for some), but it was the first time we had ever had a four-and-a-half-hour lunch. I will try to let the photos do the talking. Click here, for additional photos of lunch and our drive to our next destination. I am not going to say which of the two restaurants was better. I think the two restaurant staffs are competitive enough as it is without me weighing in on the matter. You can’t beat the convenience or the service at the hotel either.
