Much like our love affair with coffee and spending our weekends on wine farms, Capetonians can’t seem to get enough of sushi.
This traditional Japanese dish has become the unofficial national dish of Cape Town’s streets with our love for raw fish spawning countless sushi restaurants in every neighbourhood.
But where to get a tasty California Roll in the Northern Suburbs? Here are a few ideas:
Parafish
Parafish in Durbanville is a breath of fresh air in more ways than one.

This popular sushi spot also offers regular specials if you’re feeling cash-strapped but still looking to tuck into a platter or two, including their weekday buffet at R245 per person.
