Café Caprice

Café Caprice is a beach bar and restaurant located on Camps Bay Beach in Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.[1] The café is noted for its cocktails[2][3] and for the celebrities that frequent it.[4][1][5] South African rugby player and restaurateur, James Small, was an owner and founder of the club.[6]

On 17 April 2017 the café was the scene of a shooting that injured two people.[7][8] The shooting was related to an organised crime turf war between competing bouncer companies in Cape Town. Two men were arrested for the shooting.[8]
