Discover the Rich and Flavourful Cuisine of South Africa

South African Cuisine

The cuisine of South Africa is a delicious mixture of indigenous, Dutch, French, Indian, and Malaysian foods. South African food reflects this diversity, offering a rich and flavourful culinary experience. Cape Malay food is some of the most delicious food on the continent—combining Indian and Malaysian flavours, such as cinnamon, saffron, turmeric, and chilli, with foods from England, Germany, and France. Try a Cape Malay curry for a typical dish when in South Africa, but also look out for a braai—which is basically an open-air barbecue where everything from marinated chicken to porridge is eaten. For dessert, try a melktert (a custard-filled pastry) or an Amarula Don Pedro—which is a slightly hedonistic mix of cocktail and dessert featuring South Africa’s famed cream liquor, Amarula.
