Willoughby’s, V&A Waterfront
The new and improved Willoughby’s could be the most exciting place to eat within this tourist mecca, what they lack in harbour views they make up for in a wide-ranging Asian menu and good quality across the board. There’s also a buzz and bustle, a sense of being in the midst of city life, that one does not easily get in Cape restaurants. No reservations can mean frustrating waits at peak times, however. Another area of contention is their wine list that’s dominated by one player - not that this is unusual for restaurants, but it’s a practise I don’t like, because it helps the big monied players to strangle lists.

I’m going to stick my neck out and suggest the sushi at this place is really VERY good, due to the caliber of the su-meshi (rice) and the seaweed (though for sashimi, Sake House really does the best in town, perfectly cut and a great variety).

Thanks Liz, I sure will try the soup on a next visit that’s likely to be sooner than later - there’s so much on the menu that sounds appetising.
