Stellenbosch Culinary Challenge

 | A student's quest to visit every restaurant in Stellenbosch, 
before the completion of her studies |


Stellenbosch has been described as the wine and gourmet capital of South Africa, securing no less than 9 of the 20 nominations in the 2013 Eat Out Awards. Whether you agree with this status or not, it is an undisputed fact that Stellenbosch is home to a number of fine dining restaurants as well as many trendy alternatives - this combination caters to the eclectic mix of residents you will find in the oak lined streets of the town.

I've been a student in Stellenbosch for the past 5 years, but still there are so many restaurants and cafe's that I have not yet visited. Therefore I have decided to make the most of  my culinary experience. My Stellenbosch Culinary Challenge will consist of an attempt at visiting every restaurant and cafe in Stellenbosch, at least once, before the completion of my studies.

A quick search provided a list of approximately 100 restaurants. Obviously with the constraints of a student budget in mind, I won't enjoy a full meal at every restaurant - but I will post a short review of every experience.

If you have any recommendations of restaurants in the area, please feel free to share them with me.
