The Coolest Restaurants In Durban

The coolest restaurants in Durban right now, you ask?

There’s no denying it, Durban is the hottest city in South Africa at the moment. And we don’t just mean the weather. While Capetonians and Joburgers begin hibernating, Durbanites start leaving their homes to enjoy the slightly cooler (but still oh-so-warm) weather and even cooler nightlife, the buzzing restaurant scene, and outdoor activities. (If you’re not in Durban, it’s okay, we have ways for you to celebrate life, too).

We love this tropical South African city at this time of the year, and so we think it’s time we highlight some of the coolest restaurants in Durban. Trust us, you don’t want to miss any of them.

1. Fego Caffe | Broadway

If you haven’t visited Fego in Broadway yet, you’re missing out. Trust us. We rate this coffee shop as one of the coolest restaurants in Durban because of its delicious coffee, vibey atmosphere and unbeatably tasty food.

2. Talloula Treat Cafe | Botha’s Hill

Talloula’s in Botha’s Hill is a wedding venue, spa, accommodation, and restaurant, and it’s awesome. Not only is their food to-die-for, but their massages are worth the drive up the hill. Sit in their well-manicured garden and enjoy a cuppa after a relaxing time at the spa.
