Kalk Bay has landed at 31st place on Time Out's list of the world's coolest neighbourhoods for 2026, alongside spots in Seoul, Athens and Paris. The nod points to its fishing heritage, Dalebrook Tidal Pool, Kalky's fish and chips and a harbourside community that's held onto its character for generations.
NASA medical officials have been in Cape Town, assessing Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital's trauma centre ahead of the 2028 Artemis IV moon mission. Cape Town remains a designated contingency splashdown site, a role tracing back to its Apollo-era part in supporting Moon mission communications.

The African Tails art auction tonight puts donated work from Wilma Cruise and Georgina Gratrix under the hammer, every rand going toward two decades of rescuing and sterilising Cape Town's street cats and dogs. Bo-Kaap, wine in hand, bidding for a good cause. |

Coppelia gets a youth remount at the Joseph Stone Auditorium, young dancers from EOAN GROUP and Dance for All sharing the stage with Cape Town City Ballet. Athlone, two shows, proof talent doesn't wait for a big stage. |

Arlecchino brings Venetian chandeliers and Amalfi lemon pasta to Regent Road, the newest sibling in the Tashas family with sea views built in. Breakfast starts under a hundred rand, so it doesn't have to be a splurge.
Cooked in Sea Point blends Middle Eastern and Mediterranean roots with generations of family recipes and a bit of contemporary mischief. Come hungry, tables here fill up fast, and dessert is best treated as plural.
The Lookout in Hout Bay pairs wood-fired pizzas from R115 and fresh, locally caught seafood with views of seals hunting right there in the harbour. Affordable and a proper Cape Town bucket-list spot.
