Cape Town’s northern suburbs have some glorious wine farms, some beautiful places to eat, and some excellent places to picnic. But there has been one thing they’re desperately missing: a dedicated bacon bar. Until now, that is.

Bacon on Bree, Richard Bosman and Justine Seymour’s bacon-themed restaurant in Cape Town’s city bowl, announced today via their Facebook page that they’re planning to open up a branch in Tyger Valley, Bellville. Called Baconville, the new restaurant is set to open at the beginning of November at the Willowbridge centre.

The new branch is a franchise of the Bree original, but will offer a similar menu featuring many of the classics from the original branch, plus a few special dishes. And yes, there are plans to open more franchise versions in the future.

We can’t wait.
