If you’ve been looking for an excuse to indulge in some of the finest cuisine South Africa has to offer, you could take part in this year’s edition of Restaurant Week.
Established in New York City in 1992 by Tim Zagat, the co-founder of Zagat Survey, a platform that gathers restaurant ratings provided by diners, Restaurant Week is a marketing opportunity for eateries. Customers have the opportunity to eat out at a discounted rate at some of the best restaurants the country has to offer.
The concept has since been adopted globally with roughly 100 countries participating at various times during the year, and South Africa is no exception to this culinary adventure, which started in the country in 2012.
In South Africa, Restaurant Week takes place twice a year — in April and October — and runs for about a month allowing people to experience dining on a budget.
Because of the success of the event in South Africa, which ran from 30 September and was to have ended on 30 October this year, it has been extended until 20 November.
Some of the places taking part in this dining experience include Cape Town, Durban, the Garden Route, the Winelands, Pretoria and Johannesburg.
If you are in Gauteng and didn’t know about this exciting event, some of the restaurants taking place this year include The Grill Jichana, Chalk Craft Eatery, Solo Sandton, Level Four Restaurant, Saint Restaurant and Zioux .
