Cape Quarter is a cut above, and though Cape Town is less mall-ified than other SA cities, you’d miss the true SA experience if you didn’t visit this one. Near the Waterkant gayborhood, this mall offers dozens of shopping and culinary experiences that will keep you busy and satisfied all day long!

Home Decoration A-GoGo: Limited Tourist Charm
A nice shopping area with decent bistro-style restaurants, it definitely gives you a not-in-Africa feel, except for some of the African themed shops. I only detected a single shop for men's clothing "bespoke shirts", which isn't too useful for tourists (ready to wait for a custom shirt), and likewise the vast array of home decoration shops (and surrounding the area) aren't particularly tourist friendly unless you're happy to cart a 7-foot vase 9000 to 18000 miles back home. Some of the more interesting shops were a high-end audiophile shop, but of course then you have to use South African electrical connections; a beautiful shop of leather office goods which I wanted to buy everything of, but they didn't have an iPad portfolio. Chocolate shops, green shops, a lot of little knick-knack type shops, but also many nice bistro-style restaurants. Good atmosphere.
great!
