Looking to save some money this Thursday night?
You’ve come to the right place! Thursday is the new Friday, especially in Cape Town. The weekend starts early in the Mother City, and Cape Town’s best restaurants are calling your name. So why not check out some of the city’s best Thursday food specials so that you can eat, drink, and be merry for less?
I’ve rounded up the top Thursday food specials in Cape Town. I keep this list small and update it monthly to make sure that it stays current. No-one wants to sift through 50 out-of-date specials!
1) Date Night at The Shed
I think that the Shed has the best pizza in Cape Town, so I highly recommend taking advantage of their Thursday food special. You get two margherita pizzas and a 12 piece sushi platter to share for just R249!
Okay, so I will admit, sushi and pizza is a somewhat bizarre combo, but I like both, so I’m not complaining.
And what’s even better is that you can bring your own booze to The Shed to save even more money. You don’t even have to pay corkage, so being able to bring your own wine really drives down the cost of your meal.
Also, don’t get too confused. There’s “the Shed” and “the Pizza Shed”, but they’re different restaurants. The one I’m talking about is just off of Long Street!
Address: 3 Vredenburg Ln, Cape Town City Centre
2) R89 Burger and Chips at Yumcious
Yumcious is one of my favorite places to eat in De Waterkant. They do lots of amazing salads at lunch and even have a harvest table buffet, but for the purpose of this blog post, I’ll be focusing on their weekday burger special.
For R89 you can get a beef, chicken, or veggie burger with chips for R89, which is not bad! It’s a nice treat for a weekday lunch and a nice way to get your weekend started a little early on a Thursday.
Address: Level Zero, Cape Quarter Square, 27 Somerset Rd, Green Point
3) Chicken Schnitzels at Copper Club
The Copper Club at Tyger Waterfront is further out of the city center than I generally tend to venture, but if you’re located Bellville way then it’s definitely worth checking out the midweek deals here!
On Thursday, you can get a single chicken schnitzel with cheese for R90, or a double for R120. Capetonians loooove their schnitzels – I can’t believe how popular they are here. So if you do too, then get yourself down to the Copper Club and take advantage of this deal. They’ve also got half-price cocktails every night from 4-7 pm if you need something to wash it down with.
Address: 18-19 Tyger Waterfront, Carl Cronje Dr, Bellville
4) Asoka R265 Dinner Special
Asoka is a glamorous spot on Kloof Street, with great cocktails and gourmet Asian fusion on offer. Their 3-course dinner special for R265 used to be for Mondays only, but they’ve recently added it on Wednesday and Thursday nights, so my advice would be to take advantage! You can email them for a reservation at info@asoka.za.com.
