In the luxurious Clock Tower precinct of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Emily's is the mainstay of Boer nouvelle—new South African cooking with its roots firmly in Afrikaans culture. The chefs conjure up incredible fusion food, such as the fondue of baked sweet potato, ox tongue terrine and ostrich carpaccio. They boast an experimental wine list, too. Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner, Sunday for lunch only. Reservations required. $$$. Most major credit cards. The Clock Tower, Suite 202, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town.
