"Because Cape Town has such an international dining scene, visitors often arrive in the city and wonder what South African food actually is—and the country’s diverse heritage makes it a challenge to pin a definitive answer down. But the chef at Seven Colours Eatery does an excellent job of highlighting much-loved local dishes that many people still cook at home. For example, you can try boerewors, a type of spicy sausage, served with relish and maize porridge, and vetkoek, or fried dough, stuffed with mince or cheese and jam. Whatever you choose, you’ll leave this restaurant with a new love for bread cooked on an open flame." - mary holland
