I dunno about you guys, but I actually really love winter…
It’s a time for all the comfort eating your heart desires while being able to cover up all the side effects of said comfort eating with layers and layers of clothing. It’s a total win-win!
I decided to put together a list of 2018 Winter Specials happening in & around Cape Town that I’ve either been emailed about, read about or spotted with my own two eyes… All from restaurants that I personally love. No dodgy, drive out to the middle of nowhere for a free slice of 2-day old cheesecake stuff. These are all deals that I would personally take advantage of if I was in Cape Town right now.
I’ve decided to list them in alphabetical order by restaurant name, just to keep things simple. I also recommend that you make reservations for all of these by contacting the restaurant directly or making use of their online booking systems (where available), as I’m sure these restaurants are going to fill up.
