Durban’s Bluff is a popular suburban part of this cheerful city… It’s a region that offers plenty for the whole family to see and enjoy.
And with surfing spots, museums and outdoor fun, it’s safe to say that it is a pretty cool part of town.
Best of all, Durban’s Bluff also offers four fabulous eateries to enjoy… Let’s check them out below:
#1 El-Arish
El-Arish is hands-down the best place to eat in the Bluff. This guesthouse, conference facility and restaurant in one is the perfect place to grab a special meal – or to celebrate a special occasion (like an anniversary or wedding reception) at.
The meals are excellent and wholesome, service is sound and the establishment’s ambiance is incredible.
Note: There’s plenty to choose from off the menu. So, whether you wish to enjoy seafood, desserts, curries or poultry/grill specialties – there is no shortage of options…
