Meat: Carne SA - this place is compulsory.

Fish / seafood: The Codfather, Camps Bay (unprepossessing location, awesome food, impressive prices...). Willoughby & Co. at the Waterfront is a victim of its own success; the place is a complete circus (and it's in a mall) - not recommended.

General ambience / experience: head out to the Winelands, so many superb dining options there, especially in and around Franschhoek. Reubens, Le Quartier Francais, Tokara, Delaire Graff are just a couple of names that spring to mind; there are many others. Constantia wine region also has some good options.
