Food Scene

A local legend, Forrester's Arms is a great spot to unwind with a beer or a glass of wine and a pizza. The beer garden is great on warm days, but it's also great in the winter time, when blazing fires and a cosy pub atmosphere prevail. Forries, as it is locally known, is one of the oldest pubs in SA. If you don't feel like eating, it's still great to hang out at the bar or beer garden and enjoy a few drinks. Open until 12.

Quaint spot just across the road, serving delectable breakfasts (and lunch) both outside in the tree-filled garden or inside the restaurant itself. It also has a lovely nursery with hidden paths to explore, plus an afro-design centre selling interesting curios and artworks you won't find just anywhere.

Unassuming from the outside, this Thai restaurant delivers the goods. They also serve reasonably-priced, high quality sushi. Recommended in the area.

'Hole in the wall' sushi spot that still manages to be pleasant to sit in. However, rather small, so perhaps better to get your takeaways from.

Old fashioned Chinese restaurant that's been there for donkey's years, so they must be doing something good! Also available for take-out.
