Eating and Drinking

Take some African magic, a dash of Dutch heartiness, a pinch of Indian spice and a smidgen of Malay mystery and what you get is an amazing array of cultures, all simmering away in the rich pot of influences that is South African cuisine. The country’s culinary diversity reflects its multicultural society, ranging from African staples in the townships to seafood and steaks in globally acclaimed restaurants, and eating is an excellent way to the heart of the rainbow nation.

Eating out is one of South Africa’s great pleasures, and you’ll find better value than in many Western countries. Book well ahead in Cape Town, Jo’burg and the Wine lands, but otherwise reserving on the day will probably suffice.
