Looking to save money on dining out this Tuesday?
I’ve got you covered in this article! I know there are a lot of blog posts out there that list dozens of deals, but I find those to be overwhelming so I prefer to curate short and manageable lists that I can update regularly.
And anyway, you don’t need 100 different choices because some of Cape Town’s best restaurant specials happen on a Tuesday – yes, Hussar Grill date night, I’m looking at you.
So without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the best Tuesday specials in Cape Town!
1) Hussar Grill Date Night Special
The Hussar Grill Date Night special is, without a doubt, my favourite Tuesday special in Cape Town. I will be devastated if they ever discontinue it, but it’s so popular that I doubt that will happen any time soon.
The Hussar Grill is a local steakhouse with branches in Camps Bay and Mouille Point. I’ve been to both and they’re pretty much the same, so just go to whichever one is closest to you.
Tuesday night is date night at the Hussar Grill, and you can enjoy a 2-course meal for R450 per couple, or 3 courses for R550 per couple.
Yup, that’s right: per couple. So you pay R225 each for 2 courses or R275 each for 3 courses.
In addition to the food courses, you get a bottle of house red per couple and a mini chocolate vodka martini each. These taste like brownie batter and are absolutely delicious!
For the 2 course menu, you can choose whether you want a starter or a dessert – and you don’t have to make the same choice. So one person per couple can get a starter, and the other can order dessert.
You can check out the full date night menu here, but choices include calamari strips to start, rump or sirloin steak for the main course, and malva pudding for dessert.
I should also add that while Hussar Grill does sell booze, they also allow you to bring your own and don’t charge a corkage fee, so you can also bring some wine from home for no extra cost! This applies every day of the week, not just on Tuesdays.
I’ve done the Hussar Grill date night a bunch of times and it’s always so much fun. I’ve never actually been on a date, we usually just get a group of friends together and make sure that we’ve got an even number. It’s a good time and such a great way to enjoy an evening out during the week without spending a ton of money!
Address: 163 Beach Road, New Cumberland Building, Mouille Point OR Shop 2, 108 Camps Bay Drive, Camps Bay
Booking required? Yes – date night is busy! You can book here
2) Clarkes’ 2 4 1 Burgers Tuesdays
I think that Clarkes’ has one of the best burgers in Cape Town, and you can get two for the price of one as part of their Tuesday special! Their burgers are so delicious and they use the yummiest brioche bread for their buns, which I think makes a huge difference.
With the Tuesday burger special, you can order two cheeseburgers, veggie burgers, or baby burgers for the price of one. You need to get your timing right though, as this offer is only available from 7 pm – 8 pm. Don’t be late! Admittedly, it’s not the most generous of the Tuesday specials on this list, but the burgers are so good that it’s still 100% worth cashing in on.
Address: 133 Bree Street, Cape Town City Centre
Booking required? No
3) Taproom Cheeseburger and Beer Special
I’ve previously talked about the Taproom in Salt River as one of the best places to go beer tasting in Cape Town, but it also has a great Tuesday special on cheeseburgers and beer – and I think we can all agree that that’s a pretty great combo!
All day on Tuesday, you can get a cheeseburger and a 340 ml glass of Devil’s Peak or Hero larger for R95. You could also combine this with their R60 beer tasting tray if you wanted!
Address: 150 Cecil Road, Salt River
Booking required? No
4) Cafe Caprice Burgers
Cafe Caprice is known as the place to be on a Sunday in Cape Town, but not that many people seem to know about their Tuesday burger special!
Located along the Camps Bay strip, Cafe Caprice is a restaurant-slash-bar that’s right opposite the gorgeous Camps Bay beach. They offer amazing cocktails – especially the Granadilla Lolly – and the place is pink and tropical themed.
But down to business: the burger special applies to any of their delicious burgers (which come with fries). You pay for the more expensive one and then the cheaper one is free. I always go for the Royal Burger, which comes with BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese, and chilli oil. It’s huge and so delicious!
You can check out the burger options on the menu here.
Address: 37 Victoria Road, Camps Bay
Booking required? No
