There is a large range of Cape wines and a select choice of imports.Decor: Located in a double-storey Victorian house, the Blue Danube has two interleading dining rooms and an enclosed terrace with fabulous views of Table Mountain. The royal-blue walls, white drapes and central fireplace, make for an exclusive, yet very cosy, atmosphere.
