This deliciously atmospheric place is one of Cape Town's landmark restaurants. Housed in the 1752 Dutch Club building, the old-worldly charm of its wood-paneled walls and black-and-white checkerboard floor is offset by a vibrant and somewhat playful contemporary menu that will appeal greatly to seafood enthusiasts. The aura of time-warped decadence is reflected in the presence of a plush wine bar and cigar lounge. Daily for dinner, Monday-Friday for lunch. Reservations not accepted. $$$-$$$$. Most major credit cards. 14-16 Keerom St., Cape Town. Phone 021-424-4442. http://www.fiveflies.co.za.
