test kitchen was outstanding, tho the fact that its located in a previously notoriously disadvantaged area that has been repurposed for a predominantly young, upwardly mobile white crowd might sour your mood somewhat. We went for lunch, not sure if the menu changes of an evening.
recommend you air b'n b it - we crashed here: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/860900 for a week - short walk to the beach, not that i'd advise getting in the water. it's cocking freezing. make sure you hire a comfy car. avoid township tours at all costs. what time of year you thinking of heading out?
Cheers,that looks like a good list of places to start with. We are looking to go end of May beginning of June 2016
Aiming for two-three days in Cape Town when we arrive so will book Test Kitchen for our 2nd night. It looks very much like the kind of place we'd enjoy.

other notables include:
http://thepotluckclub.co.za/ - a bit fiddly but worth the faff
http://www.nelsons-eye.co.za/ - spit and sawdust place serving steaks since the bad old days
http://lapetiteferme.co.za/index.php/restaurant - old fashioned but you'll be hard pressed to find a prettier setting.
Book now to avoid dissapointment.
