Lovely dining in the former home of Sir John Wylde, first chief justice of the Cape in the 19th century. The architecture is old, but the menu is a blend of new South African and Continental. Even traditional Cape dishes are given a twist. In summer you can dine in a leafy courtyard. Extensive wine list. Monday-Saturday for dinner; Wednesday-Friday for lunch, also. Reservations required. Smart attire requested—a jacket for men and a suit or dress for women. $$$$. Most major credit cards. 39 Barnet St., City Centre, Cape Town. Phone 021-465-4909. http://www.aubergine.co.za.
