Winter Specials for Cape Town Restaurants

Winter officially starts on the 21st of June in South Africa, but Cape Town loves to get ahead of the curve and start sharing their local specials for the chilly season. While there are dozens of offers, we’ve focused on the restaurants we’d personally invest our own salaries into visiting.
*Please note, not all specials have been released. This post is a work in progress. Please return to find more specials as soon as the restaurants release them throughout winter. Thank you!
Restaurant Winter Specials 2023
While all of these restaurants offer a fantastic meal, I’ve placed them in the order of the experiences I enjoyed the most to the least. That does not mean the last aren’t worth visiting! On the contrary – Cape Town’s food scene is highly competitive and these are the meals that stood out the longest, for me.
