Spiga is truly a whirlwind European adventure nestled in the comfortable familiarity of Durban. Boasting a vibrant al fresco dining atmosphere and enhanced by a chorus of clinking glasses and cheerful chatter, this local favourite is a bonafide portal to the curb-side cafés of Italy. Abuzz with chatter, dinner music and exceptional vibes, it’s clear why there’s rarely an empty seat in the house.
