The list excludes US cities, which get their very own list, and features several Asian cities, with Tokyo (10), Shanghai (9), Singapore (8), Taipei (7) and Hong Kong (3) all making the list.

Wonderful accolades for Kalkies. They are wonderful- feeding perfect meals to so many people every day. That is real talent.
The reason we visit frequently from UK. Food is awesome, as is the scenery. Love it!
Kalkies is an abolute gem of a spot, located at the Harbour with really awesome people working there. Another great dining spot in Kalk Bay is definitely Harbour House, absolutely perfect meals with a delightful pairing of its wine list – which also boats a nice selection of premium liquors.
I couldn’t agree more. Nobody beats Cape Town when it comes to food. The combination of high quality and low prices is hard to find anywhere in the world. Yes, you find top restaurants in other world cities as well, but prepare to pay – big time! Congratulations. So well deserved.
