Bazar: A very lively place, in the summer a nice place to have a late meal or drink outside. And super easy to get to, right across the street from the apartment

A covered market place where you can buy and eat all sorts of foods. Get yourself a cheese platter and a strong beer from the "Kaapse brouwers". Sit outside near the water when the weather allows it.
