The Truth Coffee Shop in Cape Town has been repeatedly recognized as the best in the world. And all thanks to its unusual steampunk design.

The famous restaurant Säräpirtti Kippurasarvi is located in this nice cozy house. The trick of the establishment is that it serves only lamb, which is cooked in a special wood-burning oven for 9 hours.
