The wait is over. After hours of flying or driving, you are finally in South Africa. The country is amazing, the scenery is majestic, the people are welcoming and the options of where to start from are more than you can count. But don’t worry, when it comes to food; AroundtheWorldCooking has got you covered with it’s top ten list covering Cape Town and Johannesburg. Get ready for one of the best food and vibe experiences of your life.
- Neighborgoods Market- A place where art, fashion, live music and the best food from all over Johannesburg meet for just one day a week. In the heart of a lively, hip and definitely safe neighborhood some dress to impress, some come absolutely relaxed and others are somewhere in between, but everyone comes to enjoy the best authentic food and have a good time. Every Saturday from 9am-3pm. Our favorite? Kikala’s kitchen
- Mezepoli – Greek food in a South African way. You will love the food and the atmosphere. When you come, be sure to try the Peta Bread, Chicken Wings, Greek Salad and Chips.
- Six Cocktails-This place is an A+ for atmosphere and great food. Located in the midst of other great options in the Melville area of Johannesburg, Six has a great Saturday afternoon crowd, good customer service, a banging DJ who will make you want to dance and sing along. Recommend trying the nachos, seafood pasta, burger and the unforgettable raspberry smoothie.
- Chaf Pozi– What if there was a restaurant where you could bungee jump and get great food? Don’t worry, you don’t have to bungee jump to get the food. If you just want great food it’s the place for you. But if you also want your meal served with some adventure, this is a great place for you too. The barbeque/Braai like most places in the country, is ordered raw, seasoned and cooked while you wait.Make sure to try the chicken wings.
- Cappello’s– A great DJ can really bring a place alive.The food in this Joburg old business district restaurant was good, but the atmosphere was the highlight. Would recommend trying the pasta.
- JB Restaurant-If Presley is your server, you are in good hands. Located in Melrose Arch, Joburg along with many other amazing restaurant options; here you can find good food. And you could be in for a double treat, with some live music featured in the lawn right in front of the restaurant. Definitely try the sushi. If you’re not a fan of sushi, do not despair the chicken breast is equally good.
- Toni’s on Kloof – My goodness! The Prawns are so good you will dream about them. So if you’re in Cape Town you have to go to Toni’s on Kloof, its amazing. Prawns so good they make you wanna slap your mama.
- Big Waffle Company- Hands down one of the best waffles in Cape Town. So close to the beach you can hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze, while enjoying some of the best beach side waffles in South Africa.
- Lesidi Cultural Village- Immerse yourself in the original tribal cultures of South Africa at the Lesidi cultural village; with one of the most authentic food and cultural experiences in Johannesburg.
- Tashas– Uuuu, when I think about Tashas, I get excited!! Tasha oh Tasha. Great breakfast. What a great way to start your morning. Whether it’s the caramelized french toast, or the quinoa fruit tart, you need to see Tasha for breakfast while in Joburg.
So there you have it; some of the best places to eat that allow you to experience Cape Town and Johannesburg at their best. Let us know what you think!
