exquisite food and sublime wine

South Africa is a melting pot of different cultures and traditions, and this diversity is reflected in its cuisine. From the delicious braai (barbecue) culture to the vibrant Cape Malay cuisine, from the rich wines of the Cape Winelands to the unique flavours of biltong and boerewors, South Africa has something to tantalize every taste bud. This page is designed to inform visitors where the best places to eat and drink are in hotspots like Franschhoek, Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg and beyond.
