This cozy grocery spot is a treasure trove of South African delights, from authentic biltong to hearty pies, where friendly staff and delicious flavors make every visit a comforting experience.
"Plantation is known for its suburban lifestyle, its big green golf course, and (after reading this) “monkey gland sauce” and “bunny chow.” For the uninitiated, one is a tangy barbecue sauce unrelated to monkeys, the other is an unsliced bread loaf filled with curry, and you can find both at Dutchy’s in Plantation. The food here is as fun as it sounds, starting with an entire platter of biltong that will make it hard to go back to jerky. But our favorite is that bunny chow, a comforting bread bowl filled with spicy lamb curry, potatoes, and sambal. Enjoy it while watching a rugby match on their big screen. The biltong platter alone is reason enough to move, but for now we’ll just keep paying $10 for a 2oz bag of biltong at Whole Foods before Miami Sharks matches.

"A menu with “monkey gland sauce” and “bunny chow” might raise a few eyebrows in the United States, but not in South Africa. For those who’ve tried neither, one is a tangy barbecue sauce unrelated to monkeys, the other is an unsliced bread loaf filled with curry. You can find both at Dutchy’s, a half market and half restaurant in Plantation that’s popular with homesick yachties passing through Ft. Lauderdale’s marinas looking to stock up on frozen boerewors and droëwors. The food here is as fun as it sounds, starting with an entire platter of biltong that will make it hard to go back to regular old jerky. But our favorite is that bunny chow, a comforting bread bowl filled with spicy lamb curry, potatoes, and sambal. There’s usually a rugby game playing on the big screen, and you can shop for South African sweets, like Tumbles and Noshes while you digest lunch." - Virginia Otazo
