October has always seemed to be a rather random month for me. Spring has long sprung, but it’s not quite Summer yet. And from November it is all about Festive season. So it is with great pleasure that I announce that Restaurant Week South Africa 2014 will be kicking off at the end of October!
This is very exciting news for us. Restaurant Week has been huge worldwide for some time now. In New York, and Europe it is a highly anticipated event on the culinary calendar and we are hoping the fever will soon catch on in South Africa. And why not? It presents a unique offering: for 11 days, from the 23rd October until 2nd November, Restaurant Week is your every-day excuse to wine and dine in SA’s best restaurants.
R95 for lunch and R175 for dinner (with a few exceptions) is the standard pricing for this event. Chefs and restaurants are given an opportunity to show off as well, and what you will be getting for these prices is the best they have to offer.
