After the President announced last night that restaurants would no longer be allowed to have people in for sit-downs due to the adjusted level four we are now in, many people assumed that most eateries would close their doors.
However, we asked the incredible Cape {town} Etc’s community to let us know of some local restaurants that people may not be aware are still operating, take-away style.
It’s more important than ever to support local, and who wouldn’t want some take-away treats with all the stress the latest lockdown is inflicting upon us?
We’re taking you on a takeaway tour of some local restaurants that are still open and should be your next call when you have the craving to go to a restaurant or cafe.
Coffee and pasteries.
