Blue leather armchairs and crisp white napery confirm the Twelve Apostle Hotel's nautical bent and Azure's smart interior. The menu—with its focus on seafood, game, and the indigenous fynbos plants—works well with views of the Atlantic Ocean as far as the eye can see and Table Mountain. Presented in a martini glass, the crayfish-and-prawn cocktail is retro-chic. The giant-tiger-prawn tempura, served with chili-tomato salsa and pickled cucumber, is an extravagant feast. Slow-roasted duck comes with pomme William (crumbed potato in the shape of a pear), mushrooms and roasted peppers, glazed baby apples, and a caramelized citrus reduction. Oversized napkins provide unexpected luxury for messy eaters. Ask for a window table.
