These great restaurants were voted by the public and vetted by Eat Out professional critics.
Public ratings for restaurants in each category, taken from reviews on the Eat Out app and website (eatout.co.za), were tallied with scores from Eat Out in a 50-50 balance.
Not only is a review a vote for a favourite restaurant, it helps feed a hungry child: Eat Out pledges a meal through Rise Against Hunger for every review it receives.
To date, Eat Out has helped feed over 13 500 children.
“We love the fact that these winning restaurants are determined by the people who eat there and review them the most,” said Adelle Horler, Eat Out’s editor in chief.
“A lot of glory goes to fine dining establishments, but we also need to celebrate the everyday eateries that keep us coming back again and again, for favourite dishes prepared just the way we like them. By celebrating these eateries, we share the neighbourhood gems you may not even know about yet,” she said.
