Our Top Three West Coast Eateries
If you find yourself holidaying within the vibrant province of the Western Cape, you will soon discover this region of South Africa is all about good food, great wine and some of the warmest hospitality in the country.
Just outside the trendy hustle and bustle of Cape Town, small towns dotted along the West Coast, such as Paternoster, Langebaan, Velddrif and others are home to many local eateries offering excellent value-for-money and a laid-back atmosphere that mirrors the typical pace of life found in these small, seaside towns.

Call in for a leisurely lunch on a Sunday afternoon and feast on the freshest seafood you could ask for. Set right on the beach, enjoy crayfish on the braai, thick slices of fresh, homemade bread smothered in butter and a local favourite – fresh snoek. Make sure to pre-book your spot.
