Café Caprice has owned Camps Bay’s sunset strip since 1999, and a quarter-century later it’s still the first name locals reach for when the Twelve Apostles start turning pink over the Atlantic. By day it’s a casual lunch stop for beachgoers still wet from the surf. By late afternoon the sidewalk seating fills in, the cocktail menu comes out (order the Rockstar Mojito or a Crafted Paloma), and the whole strip along Victoria Road hums with that specific Cape Town energy of good-looking people watching a world-class sunset while pretending not to watch each other. Reservations aren’t really a thing; showing up early for a table is. This is Cape Town beach culture distilled into one sidewalk bar, mountain backdrop included.
