This popular Gardens bar is a well-kept secret bursting with specials. While they are most known for their R110 for two lunchtime specials, they also have some food items that won’t break the bank – even at full price.
Try their baby marrow and brocollio tagliatelle for just R90. It is served with a yummy lemon dressing and toasted almond flakes.

This popular City Bowl spot is known for its minimalist and laid-back atmosphere. Here, you can sit indoors or outdoors and watch as the city slows down after a long day of hustling and bustling.
Their extensive menu allows you to pick and choose a great meal, but we recommend the vegetarian Sloppy Joe for a filling meal that doesn’t strain the wallet. It costs just R98.
Address: 133 Bree Street, Cape Town
