I have never tasted such wonderful sea food as I did in South Africa. We ate in several restaurants and they all had a sea view.
Two examples were Port Elizabeth and Hout Bay. All of the seafood is fresh and delicious.
We ate outside where possible which made is even more pleasurable. The food is not expensive. Enjoy!
My favourite dish, although I guess mundane was fish and chips. They were super fresh and done beautifully. Leave a Comment

This is a South African chain of restaurants that specialise in seafood.
We have been to a few in various parts of the country, and they generally have good service.
The last time we went was to the Monte Casino branch...
Service was okay, not as good as usual to be honest, they got the order wrong and we waited too long for one dish, and as we wouldn’t eat till she had got her dish, ours then got cold. So they had to warm them up again.
It is important that dishes for one table are served together, we feel.
Other than that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable meal! And of course we will be back!
The food is excellent quality here, but you do pay for it!
Even when we come here when on holiday (sending British Sterling), we feel the prices are too high.
The food is really good though.
We usually have seafood platters, with lobster, prawns, line fish, calamari and mussels, which serve two people. Very well I might add! We always have leftovers.
One always leaves here sated and satisfied! Leave a Comment

It is a South African chain of restaurants, we used to go in South Africa now and again, but since living in London, have gone alot more.
Their website is worth a look, as they have some 'spicy marketing'...
They also have an online shop, as their spices are truly world class and DELICIOUS. They even have t-shirts in black with white lettering saying 'Hot n Saucy'... the waitresses have t-shirts saying 'Hot chicks' etc... alot of play on words and fun.
They have a gallery online, and the artwork is in their retsaurants, titled ROOTS - where they showcase African artists work. I have taken a couple of samples from their website so you can see the type of artwork.
We know this restaurant very well and have tried everything - a few times!lol - on it. They have a loyalty card system which is great too. Once you have eaten a couple meals you get a free bowl of olives, a couple more meals and you get a free quarter chicken, a couple more meals and you get a whole chicken for free! (You see the incentive here huh? haha)
It being of a South African Portuguese origin, the food is tangy generally, and the mild option is the lemon and herb option.. the one I usually go for. If I feel like some hottening up I add one of their superb hot sauces (free) onto it.
Their grades are EXTRA HOT, HOT, MEDIUM HOT and LEMON AND HERB.
They are primarily known for their peri-peri chicken, but you get lovely steak rolls etc there too. Burger and pitta combinations are also great.
The food is really delicious and the portions very generous! Leave a Comment

The Wimpy is synonomous with growing up as kids in South Africa.. the drive-thru, the roadhouse, the rest stop on the way to our holiday destination!
Family-orientated and reliable.
I have vivid memories of driving down to Durban from Johannesburg as a child, excitedly waiting to catch that first smell and then glimpse of the ocean! This conjures up nostalgic memories, which includes at elast 3 pit stops on the way there.
At the service stations they generally have the garage, a shop selling sundries and sweets, toilet facilities and some restaurants. The Wimpy is usually one of these.
The Wimpy is a bright and cheerful restaurant, which caters for the family and kids espacially. A much-needed service whilst travelling with kids!
The food is nothing spectacular in presentation to be honest, but it is tasty and simple and well priced.
We particularly enjoy thier breakfasts!
Rashers of bacon, mushrooms, eggs, tomato and baked beans (okay, I could've done without the beans..)
Their burgers are filling, their salads crisp and fresh.
If you are wanting something quick, cheap and simple to eat, this is the place to go!
ps: Their milkshakes are great too! Leave a Comment Theme: Autogrill/Rest StopPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: All over the country!Phone: 011 315 3000Website: http://www.wimpy.co.za/ Other Contact: info@wimpy.co.za

The restaurant was located near Johannesburg, probably 20 or so minutes out of town. I tried Giraffe, Wilderbeast, Kudu, etc. I have to admit, giraffe was really quite tasty, but I couldn't bring myself to eat more than a bite. There's a white flag upon your table, and they continue to bring different meat selections to your table on Maasai Swords and slice them onto your plate until you put your flag down in "surrender." The ambience is great and they even break into performances of cultural dances and festivities at different points throughout the evening. There are more typical food choices like chicken and beef for those less-adventurous souls. :)
This excerpt is from the website I've linked below:
"The Carnivore Johannesburg, adjacent to the Misty Hills Hotel is situated in natural surroundings overlooking the Krugersdorp hills. The entrance to the restaurant is by way of a thatched walkway through indiginous gardens and a spectacular water feature.
The central attraction of the restaurant is a large circular open fire with 52 converted Masaai tribal spears holding a variety of 10 different types of meat such as pork, lamb, beef, chicken, ribs and sausages and including such game meats as crocodile, zebra, giraffe, impala, ostrich, etc, gently roasting and waiting for you to begin your feast!!!"

Yet another family favourite... You know what you will be getting and it’s not pricey.
It is brightly coloured, fresh and funky.
Service is merely okay, nothing fantastic in our general experience. But as we usually pop by here for a dessert, not a meal, it is not worth complaining about.
If you are feeling like a waffle, then this is the place to come!
They are yummy, crispy, with generous dollops of cream or ice cream. They pop other bits and pieces on the waffle too, like peppermint crisp bits. Absolutely yummy, albeit fattening!
So I never had any this last time, only hubby did.
I had a good cup of strong coffee though! Leave a Comment Theme: Ice CreamPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: All over the country!
