A Review of the Best South African Restaurants in Europe and America

Are you Swiss, English, American and have you visited South Africa? Have you fallen in love with the beauty of nature and people? Did you also enjoy good food and wine while visiting our country? Well, here is a list of restaurants abroad (Europe, America) that promise to bring you South African hospitality at your doorstep.

Mama Africa in Zurich

Like the other well-known Mama Africa on Long Street, this restaurant based on Heinrichstraße in Zurich, Switzerland, this restaurant offers all the tastes, colors, smells and sounds you are used to from your travels in SA. They even offer what the Cape Town competition offers: a 16-course feast featuring African dishes from across the continent. Delicious and so well done.

Chakalaka in London

British? Or South Africans spending some time in London? Looking for Boerewors and Chakalaka? Then this is the place to be. They offer a modern twist on all the traditional foods and have an atmosphere reminiscent of the beautiful colors of South Africa. Delicious food prepared by a real South African woman. Lekker!

Braai in New York

What would SA be without its braais? On wood or not, in the field or next to your house, South Africans do it anywhere and however. They pride themselves on a good Lamb Chop and some Pap with tomato sauce wouldn’t hurt either. If you are an American residing in the busy heart of New York looking for South African hospitality, ‘Braai in NY’ is the place to go. Very good place to hang out and have a good piece of meat. South African style of course.

Cape Town in Düsseldorf, Germany

The Mother City in the middle of Europe? Yes, it is Cape Town in Düsseldorf.

This restaurant offers everything from Biltong to Samoesas and Curries. A good place for all our German friends to enjoy South Africa while enjoying the cold German winter.

gazelle in los angeles

For a good steak, some rugby and a few beers head to Springbok Bar & Grill in Los Angeles. It definitely seems to be a place for a good party and a good steak. A home from home haven for all South Africans in California and the usual unbeatable hospitality for all Americans.

I hope you enjoyed the read and treat yourself to some good South African food…to beat the nostalgia until your next visit to my beautiful home country and remember there are always fun things to do in Cape Town too.
