With its abundance of Italian trattorias, noodle bars and gastro pubs, Durban has far more to offer than just excellent curry houses. (Although the latter should definitely be on your itinerary should you head that way for the winter holidays.) To make sure you don’t miss any of the other culinary greats, we’ve rounded up a list of our favourite restaurants across a variety of cuisines. Happy dining!
