1. The Girls Restaurant

Gerald says: This is a casual but popular award-winning restaurant with a great African Fusion menu featuring lots of meat and fish dishes cooked to perfection. The service is brilliant too and our guests always love it here. There’s a gallery upstairs too. One of the top 10 restaurants on the Garden Route. Open evenings only. Booking is a must in season.

2. Flava Cafe

Gerald says: Sister to The Girls Restaurant, Flava Cafe is open during the day and evenings – a very casual spot with a small menu serving tasty light meals. The chef sings like Pavarotti if you ask nicely – he sang for me once for my birthday. In summer, it’s lovely to eat outside. Great value, trendy and vibey. Free Wi-Fi.
