Restaurants with fireplaces in Cape Town

Right, so before winter is out, we need a list of places with fireplaces (that are in use). We all know nothing beats having dinner or sipping wine on the couch next to a roaring fire, especially when it’s raining and miserable outside. This is the list I have compiled, thanks to all who contributed on Facebook and Twitter and by email (I also stole a few from the Main Ingredient newsletter). There will obviously be many I haven’t included, please share them by leaving a comment.
