South African food restaurants in Cape Town

South African food is a mix of various cultures and at the same time, good quality products as most of them are produced in South Africa.The lambs come from the Karoo, the Kinklip from our Oceans, the fruits and veggies from local farmers. We have it (nearly) all in South Africa! If you are looking for ‘lekker’(good in Afrikaans) and local food, I advise you to go to one of these following restaurants.

ARNOLD’S

I love:
o the friendly atmosphere that I enjoy even more on a Sunday evenings while most of the restaurants in Cape Town are closed!
o the very nice South African food for affordable prices.

CAPE MALAY RESTAURANT

I love:
o the South African and even more Cape influence in the menus. Au menu, you’ll be able to eat delicious meals such as fish bobotie, vegetable Breyani amongst other delights.
o the very formal way which makes a very special dinner.
