Cape Town

Picadas Latino Bar

New Latino flavour has been brought to the centre of Cape Town with the opening of Picadas Latino Bar. Here, the Latin vibe is felt through the upbeat music and friendly staff, and tasted through Argentinian-influenced cuisine. Tapas can be ordered, and dishes include churros, empanadas and quesadillas. Picadas is perfect for any occasion, from after-work drinks to mid-day coffee meetings. And, when night falls, it’s time for some Spanish dancing.
