Dining out at Restaurants in KwaZulu Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has it all – the scenic, extensive coastline and warm ocean waters, the Midlands and their exquisite rolling hills and vast landscapes, the imposing heights of the Drakensberg Mountain Range, and a collection of vibrant cities and towns. KZN, as it is affectionately known, truly is a very special place for holidays, honeymoons, and corporate getaways.
Did you know? Durban, the capital of KwaZulu Natal, was voted one of the top 10 of the 52 Places to Go in 2015 by the New York Times, and dubbed by CNN as ‘the coolest city in South Africa you've never seen'.
The urban hub of Durban is brimming with culinary delights, which range from top-notch restaurants to laid-back take-aways, cosmopolitan cocktail bars, and inviting coffee cafés. There are vibey spots that are ultra-cool, more traditional retreats that showcase South African cuisine and hospitality, and just about everything in-between. Many of the eateries have stunning views of the verdant countryside or the white beaches, making for a memorable setting in which to enjoy the range of dishes and styles available.
Pietermaritzburg, Margate, Umhlanga and parts of the Drakensberg are also alive with exciting things to do, see and, most importantly, taste. These give visitors a unique insight into the many faces of the Rainbow Nation.
Greek, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and plenty of other international cooking styles are celebrated within the borders of KwaZulu-Natal.
KwaZulu-Natal is a hotspot for watersports enthusiasts and nature-lovers that appreciate the beauty of the outdoors. These ones are invited to explore its shores, mountains, cities, and farm villages, and to sample the wonderful array of flavours and ingredients that are emanating from the east coast of South Africa.
