Embodying the true spirit of South African food culture, Veldt in Hout Bay sets flavour alight as a braai eatery and smokehouse. With the art of fire cooking at the helm of the restaurant's food philosophy, Veldt's menu features a range of wood-fired and smoke-infused dishes prepared with grass-fed and premium cuts of meat.
What's on the menu?
Ideal for sharing, the Veldt Meat Platter includes honey and orange chicken, 28-day aged beef fillet, smoked beef short rib, pork belly ribs, rocket salad, coleslaw and chips.
If sharing isn't your forte, the 60/40 aged beef dripping burger made with 38-day aged beef & Wagyu fat, topped with smoked tomato relish, Veldt applewood cheddar, pickles and baby gem lettuce is a winner.
For those craving a sweet treat, the malva pudding served with ice cream is a delight.
How do you get there?
Located in Hout Bay, secure parking is available close to the restaurant, along with the 109 MyCity bus stop, titled Mainstream, which can be accessed from town.
Why go?
While South African's do love a good braai, toiling over the grill for hours on end is not always as appealing as it sounds, and that is where Veldt comes in, offering that braai experience with no work required from diners.
The menu showcases a commitment to South African food heritage and its diversity, with a range of dishes representing the rainbow nation, from braaibroodjies and chips to Durban mutton curry.
Cocktails on the menu also showcase a nod to South African flair, with the rooibos old-fashioned stealing the limelight.
