Durban - Post Report Question and Answers

What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?

There is a wide variety of restaurants, and there is something for everyone. Don't expect the Japanese or Mexican eateries to taste authentic, but they are good in their own way. Plenty of coffee shops and cafe restaurants around every part of town. South Africa likes it pop up coffee shops and cappuccinos are possibly the most popular order. Take out is easy with Uber Eats or Mr. Delivery. - Sep 2024


KFC and McD's are available at prices similar to the U.S. but Nando's is the best fast food. Most famous in Durban is the "bunny chow"--curry served in a hollowed out loaf of bread. There is a wide variety of nice restaurants in town at all prices but even the nicest tend to be much less expensive than the U.S. Good wine is a great bargain here. - Sep 2010
