Restaurants in Garden Route
For the culinary adventurer, there is no place like South Africa. Here you can get a taste of unusual delicacies such as crocodile sirloins, fried caterpillars, and sheep heads. For those who prefer to stick with the familiar, there are lots of dishes to choose from - biltong (dry salted meat), bobotie (like Shepherd's pie but much improved), and boerewors (farm sausages made by hand and grilled on an open fire), to name a few.
