Chinese

For an authentic Chinese experience, Tai Ping is one of the restaurants in Cape Town that is really worth visiting. Situated in the scenic Newlands, this Chinese restaurant enjoys a peaceful position in a cul-de-sac on the corner of Wilkinson and Dean Streets, close by Sahara Park Newlands. The quiet exterior is vibrantly brought inside with beautiful blues, purples and red creating a truly relaxed atmosphere. The name Tai Ping is Cantonese and translates to "peace and tranquillity". Tai Ping consists of a spacious dining area as well as a separate function room which is ideal for birthday parties and any other special occasions. Set menus can also be organised for functions.

Empire Asian Restaurant has ensured that authentic Chinese cuisine can still be found at restaurants in Cape Town. The restaurant, which is based in Sea Point, has proven to be a big hit with the local Asian community, as well as a large number of Cape Town residents and tourists. The owner is a professional chef with over 15 years experience in the industry and began his career by studying at one of Shanghai's best culinary schools. His passion for traditional food has seen him create two menus, one of which was made especially for Chinese people and their support can be seen as a testament to the quality of the food. The decor is not the most extravagant, but good lighting and a decent amount of space make it comfortable, but the restaurant's ability to make a good picture is not the major factor; it's the food you went for. And the menu at this Chinese restaurant does not disappoint.
