We all get a bit busy sometimes so we can’t always go out to dinner and then see a show afterwards or vice-versa. So, it’s really handy when you find a venue where you can do both at the same time! Here we’ve rounded up some of the best dinner-and-a-show venues in Cape Town.
STARDUST
A local favourite and Cape Town’s near iconic theatre and dinner spot, StarDust, always offers up a great show. While you dine, you will be serenaded by your waitrons who put on amazing performances to keep you entertained.

THE BARNYARD
Shows at the Barnyard are always entertaining. The shows are usually about the hits of a certain time as well as shows by popular South African bands and performances. Theatre goers get assigned a table and can bring along their own food or order from the establishment. It’s great fun.
