Did you know? The Eastern Cape is one of the country’s quieter provinces in terms of tourism, imbuing it with a laid-back atmosphere that is perfect for those wanting to savour the deliciousness of the vibrant country at a peaceful pace.

Port Elizabeth, East London, and Jeffrey’s Bay are the bigger centres in the Eastern Cape. Here, there are fast-food outlets, gorgeous buffets, quirky cafés and formal restaurants with unique twists. There are also many eateries that introduce international influences on their menus; including Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Thai, Greek, and more. The malls are littered with coffee shops that promise excellent hot drinks, decadent sweets, and lovely light lunches.

Most of the popular holiday towns such as Kenton-on-Sea and St Francis Bay, are dotted along the coastline, which means that diners have gorgeous views while they enjoy awesome meals and the freshest seafood. There are also many game reserves and parks further inland, and these too have their share of excellent restaurants with innovative and exciting menu items.
