We don’t only share a city with Banting’s founder Professor Tim Noakes – we also share a keen interest on the Banting Diet. Capetonians have latched on to the trend and made it a lifestyle, it is glaringly apparent on our menus. With a multitude of eateries offering a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) option on their menu, you can almost be certain Banting is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Here are some of the best local places to enjoy a banting meal.

 

Four & Twenty (Wynberg)

Keeping up with the times, the much-loved nationwide Col’Caccio, with is roots in Cape Town, has added some terrific banting options to their menu. Guests can enjoy the fare which has made the Italian chain so popular – and now a few menu classics have been modified to suit the modern banter. Our favourite is the new take on the Nacho Libre pizza. And for dessert? Go for the banting cheesecake and thank us later.
