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.

This restaurant offers 2-for-1 beverages and breakfasts on the ENTERTAINER app.

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.

This restaurant offers 2-for-1 expresso-based beverages on the ENTERTAINER app.

3. Moto Cafe | Umhlanga

Get cosy and enjoy a tasty brekkie at Moto Cafe in Umhlanga. This down-to-earth little restaurant on the ridge is one of our favourites for good reason – it’s got some of the best chow in town, and the personal touches make it feel like home.

This restaurant offers 2-for-1 [selected] beverages and breakfasts on the ENTERTAINER app.

4. Turtle Cafe | Westville

Cute name, cute place. Pop into Turtle Cafe for a generous breakfast, hot coffee, and an inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a venue for your next event, Turtle’s got you covered, too.

This restaurant offers 2-for-1 breakfasts and beverages (and 50% off venue hire) on the ENTERTAINER app.

5. Hops Restaurant | Ballito

If you haven’t been to Hops Restaurant in Ballito, you need to. NOW. GO. This legendary beachfront restaurant is vibey, and has all the views and tasty foods. Stop in for a glass of wine, fresh seafood, and tender meats.

This restaurant offers 2-for-1 [selected] Beverages on the ENTERTAINER app.
