    Winter is when South Africa’s kitchens do their best work. The crowds thin out, the chefs slow down, and suddenly restaurants that are impossible to book in February are offering three courses for less than the price of a summer main.<\/p>\n

    This year’s crop of winter specials, drawn from what restaurants have listed on Dineplan, is incredibly tempting. Most run until the end of August or September, but the best offers get booked up on cold weekends far in advance. Our advice: book now!<\/p>\n
