Last month, Time Out listed two South African streets among the “Coolest in the World” – and now they’ve taken a fancy to one of Cape Town’s many top-class restaurants, naming Chinchilla Rooftop Cafe & Bar in Camps Bay, Cape Town, among their “Top 25 Best Rooftop Bars in the World”. 

The popular travel website named Le Perchoir in Paris at number one, but said that coming in at number 5, Chinchilla puts bars situated at the very top of some of the world’s highest skyscrapers to shame.

According to Time Out, Chinchilla’s position between the famous Camps Bay beach and iconic table Mountain makes it a “laid back, resort-chic” paradise “that’ll make you want to while away an afternoon”

Though this rooftop is only two stories up, the views rival some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world,” they said. 

Time Out also said that Chichilla’s vast array of cocktails and seafood dishes, set to the tune of a medley of some of Cape Town’s top DJs and performers, is well worthy of a place in their Top 25. 

And it’s not difficult to see why:
