Mundo Vida in Umdloti has a recession-busting three-course set menu on offer for R125.

Choices include chicken livers and Vietnamese satay for starters, and mains such as Don Wilkinson’s speciality peri-peri chicken, melanzane Parmigiano and grilled prawns.

For afters there’s crème brûlée or ice cream with Bar One sauce. If you can’t manage all this, you can have just two courses for R100.
