Cape Town’s Two Ocean’s Aquarium in the V & A Waterfront is home to the Shoreline Cafe. The self-service deli style cafe is the perfect place for parents and kids. With the only play centre in the Waterfront, parents can bring the kids, have a meal and catch their breath after a tiring trip round the V & A. The food is good simple fare, and the atmosphere is relaxed and very child orientated. The decor is contemporary, and the restaurant has a beachy ambience, which complements the menu perfectly: wholesome, healthy and full of family favourites. Items include delicious eggs and bacon for breakfast, and a range of fresh sandwiches, quiches and mouth watering pastas for lunch, as well as well established favourites such as burger, fish and chips and juicy steaks. With amazing views of the Table Mountain and the yacht marina, it’s a great place for mums and dads to bring the kids. Very affordable and fun, the Shoreline Cafe is a favourite for parents.
