"The Zimbabwean chef behind Mlilo has bounced between a few kitchens since moving from Johannesburg to Cape Town—but now, he has his own place at the Time Out Market at the V&A Waterfront. We’d follow him wherever he goes, because the food is that good. He cooks dishes from around the continent, almost exclusively over an open fire, and highlights lesser-known ingredients or regional comfort dishes that are still uncommon on restaurant menus around the city. From flavor-packed Nigerian jollof rice to nyama choma you might find in Nairobi, a meal here will probably inspire you to add more African cities to your travel list." - Mary Holland
