eating out game in cape town

or is it the game of eating: Zebra, impala, warthog ribs, crocodile tails, eland, gemsbok and shark can all be found on menus of restaurants in and around Cape Town.

Shark lovers can lick their fingers at Khaya Nyama Restaurant in Long Street, where they serve "Mozambique brown shark", strangely enough caught in the waters around the Peninsula.

Warthog, gemsbok and eland are also on Khaya Nyama's menu.

Like shark fins? as part of your eating sea food experience in Cape Town? The Sea Palace at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, but should order it in advance. Zebra steak should visit Arnolds Restaurant in Kloof Street, Gardens (but read the comment of the owner first)

Impala: Mama Africa in Long Street recently added impala as a special to its menu, which already offers game like crocodile and kudu. (read the whole article by Arjan van Oosterhout on iol)

After many of these, I still recommend the Springbok steak in any restaurant, or ostrich (rare, medium rare max. although not after visiting an ostrich farm), venison (kudu) at Moja Restaurant in Heritage Square. Warthog is (only) best -if on the menu- in pastry at Beluga Restaurant in The Foundry in Cape Town.
