Who doesn’t love a good midweek restaurant deal?
When it’s Wednesday night and you just can’t be bothered to cook, or want to break out of your meal prep monotony, you can can take advantage of some of the Wednesday specials at Cape Town restaurants.
I’ve rounded up the top Wednesday specials at some of Cape Town’s best restaurants so that you can eat, drink, and be merry without blowing your budget.
Rather than a huge round-up post, I’ve kept it to a few top picks, and I will update this article regularly to make sure that all of the offers are still valid.
So without further ado, here are the best Wednesday specials in Cape Town in August 2024.
1) R300 Dinner + Wine Tasting at Harringtons
Harringtons in District Six has a fantastic midweek deal. Harringtons is not in a particularly glamorous part of the city, but it’s still a fun and classy bar.
On Wine Wednesday at Harringtons, you get a 3 course meal alongside a tasting of 5 different wines. Plus, after the tasting, you also get a full glass of your favourite wine, which I think is a really nice touch!
You get all of this for R300, so it should come as no surprise that this is a pretty popular deal. I think it’s the best Wednesday special in Cape Town right now, because you get so much for your money.
If you want to come and enjoy Wine Wednesday, I highly recommend booking in advance!
2) Oysters + Wine at Sotano
Sotanto is a stylish, laid back Mediterranean restaurant in Mouille Point, right opposite the promenade. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for enjoying a crisp glass of wine on a warm day!
Sotano’s have a long running Wednesday special, which is two of their delicious lamb burgers for R135.
They’ve also got two great midweek specials which run from 4 – 6pm, from Monday to Friday. You can get 6 oysters and a glass of wine for R160, or 5 salmon roses and a glass of rosé for R140. Not bad!
Address: 121 Beach Road, Mouille Point
3) Peri Peri Chicken at Van Hunks
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Van Hunks. It’s my favourite bar in Cape Town!
But Van Hunks is not only a great place for a night out, they also serve really good food! It’s nothing fancy but the burgers, pizzas, and samosas are just delicious. It’s also very reasonably priced.
Van Hunks also have lots of specials throughout the week. For their Wednesday special, you can get half a peri peri chicken in a Portuguese roll for for R115. Yum!
You can also couple that with their other happy hour specials if you’re looking to get a buzz on between 3 – 7 pm.
Address: 1 Upper Union Street, Gardens
4) BOGOF Burgers at Cafe Extrablatt
Two burgers for the price of one? That’s my idea of a happy Wednesday!
I love that this deal applies whether you sit in or get a takeaway. So if you’re in the mood to stuff your face at home this Wednesday, this is the perfect money-saving deal.
Cafe Extrablatt is very reasonably priced anyway, so you’ll basically make money with this offer!
5) Wagyu Wednesdays at Iron Steak
R99 for two Wagyu patties topped with cheese and truffle aioli on a soft brioche bun?
My mouth is watering just thinking about Iron Steak’s amazing Wednesday special. Your diet can wait until next week – this deal can’t!
I mean, it’s no secret that wagyu burgers are usually expensive. You’d usually pay upwards of R200 for one, so take advantage of this absolute steal.
Oh, and did I mention that a side of fries cooked in beef dripping is also included?
