If you have ever wondered what real street food is, wonder no further. This little restaurant is located on arguably the busiest strip in Cape Town - Long Street. Don't be fooled be the rustic (very rustic) interior. Just grab a high chair or a bench, order and await a new kind of delight. The Burger Shop, true to its name, offers mainly burgers, chips and stuff on rolls, but the portions are big and the nostalgia the street food evokes is something quite unique. The dining process can become quite messy as it is 'illegal' to eat a burger with anything else than your hands, but this is part of the fun and colourful vibes that especially this part of Cape Town offers. This is definitely not something to try if you prefer fine dining in a posh spot, but if you want a unique, proudly South African experience, pop in here.

Ferrymans Tavern

V and A Waterfront Pub Meals restaurant in V and A Waterfront

Ferrymans Tavern, in Cape Town, was the first establishment to open in the V & A Waterfront in 1989. It is a traditional, old fashioned pub with a generous wooden bar counter, brick paved floors, Oregon pine beams and a huge fire place, which during the winter is the perfect place to enjoy a one of the local beers or a great glass of wine. The wonderful homely atmosphere is further enhanced by the old photos, prints and drinking memorabilia that scatters the walls. With a wide range of local and international beers, as well as Ferrymans Ale, which is made exclusively for the Tavern, it is a great watering hole for locals and foreigners alike. There is a great pub menu for the downstairs Tavern with favourites like fish and chips, chicken pie and curry and rice, and daily specials that feature traditional South African fare and seafood. In the Upstairs restaurants patrons can feast on the weekday buffet for lunch, as well as an a la carte menu with wine pairing for both lunch and dinner. There is an outside beer garden for those wonderful hot sunny Cape Town days where patrons can sit back and take in the fabulous views while sipping on an ice cold beer. With play area for the kids Ferrymans Tavern is an ideal place for the whole family.

Forresters Arms

Newlands Pub Meals restaurant in Newlands

Forresters Arms is situated in the beautiful leafy suburb, Newlands, and is known by the locals as Forries. The popularity of this place is a phenomenon that is easily understood when you experience the vibe, ambience and food. Simple dishes are offered, but where the food lacks in imagination, it makes up for in portion size and quality. Deliciousness is what you can expect. In summer you can enjoy sitting in the awesome beer garden while the kids make full use of the play area. Forries is usually packed when sports are showing and the atmospere is bustling.

Mr Pickwicks

Cape Town Burgers restaurant in Cape Town

Mr Pickwick's is no doubt named after the entertaining and endearing Charles Dickens character of the Pickwicks Papers fame. This quaint, yet vibrant restaurant has an extremely rustic feel to it, so do not expect an upmarket experience. However, if good conversation, scrumptious food and quirky furnishings are your thing, this is the place to go. The restaurant has more of a student feel to it, so bring the youth inside you and join the clan. The burgers are really filling and many a review has been written about them. It certainly is something to try. The most amazing milkshakes and ice creams are on offer and you will be astounded by the amount of flavours. From normal strawberry and chocolate to Turkish delight and caramel and almond. Funky painted tins for light shades, vintage-style crockery, a bustling artsy atmosphere and good old comfort food is what you'll find at Mr. Pickwicks.

Old Bridge Tavern

Somerset West Pub Meals restaurant in Somerset West

This family run restaurant and bar is lively, happening and just downright warm and inviting. Here you can let your hair down, have a 'whatevers', and enjoy delicious, unpretentious food. The heart of the restaurant is the beer garden where you can relax under the trees and enjoy your drinks and meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and 'in-between anytime' snacks are served. Start with a hearty breakfast like a filled-to-the-brim omelette or any one of the variations on the traditional English breakfast on the menu. Starters include cheesy garlic breads, chicken livers sauteed in a peri peri sauce and served on toast, snails, mussels, crumbed mushrooms and delicious, smothered nachos. A separate pizza menu is available, but the house specialities are recommended. Pickled eisbein, juicy pork loin ribs, a steak and Guinness pie, and even a vegetarian pie form part of the main menu. For the ravenous there is a 400g T-bone steak served with a sauce of your choice, veggies and starch. Old Bridge Tavern regularly hosts live music acts, comedy acts and sporting events on the big-screen TV, so it pays to enquire.

Perima's Finest Indian Cuisine

Claremont Indian restaurant in Claremont

This small, quaint restaurant serves delicious Indian cuisine in an unpretentious, yet warm and homely, setting. Add attentive, quick service and you can be sure of a diamond in the ruff. The menu offers everything you would expect of an Indian restaurant, but the dishes have a distinct South African twist to them. A favourite is the classic Butter Chicken, melt-in your-mouth chicken smothered in a mild, creamy sauce infused with just the right amount of spices. For the more adventurous there is the Durban Lamb Curry, a bit hotter than most. Seafood lovers can enjoy a delectable prawn curry and the Tandoori Chicken is a must. The dishes are served with soft, fluffy, aromatic rice and the traditional sambals. Finish your meal with a proudly South African malva pudding, just to add to the decadent flavours. Perima's is open for dinner on Sundays and Mondays and for lunch and dinner from Tuesdays to Saturdays.

Stellies Bar

Stellenbosch Pub Meals restaurant in Stellenbosch

If it is a laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere you are looking for, this is your place. This sports bar focuses less on the frills and more on having a good time. The restaurant and bar has become a home away from home for many locals, partly because of the true South African hospitality and partly because of the space it provides to basically do what you want.
