Life is just getting more and more expensive by the day, so it really helps if you can save a few bucks on a meal. Cape Town is ready to offer you a couple of yummy lunch specials today, whether it’s burgers, pizzas or lobsters; have a look at these delicious deals:
Bento Box @ Obi Restaurant

Taproom Tuesdays
It’s not uncommon to find a burger joint in the city that doesn’t serve craft beer, but at very few of these joints, if any, would you be able to savour a beer brewed literally just metres away from where you sit, as you tuck into the famed Tap Room cheeseburger. Although not strictly a burger joint and probably more of a gastropub, this Salt River brewery and eatery also offers a great breakfast and lunch/dinner menu, but the cheeseburger is a standout performer.
What’s the special?
Enjoy their legendary cheeseburger and a 340ml Devil’s Peak Lager (or Hero) for only R95, all day every Tuesday.
