Sunday lunch has always been a bit of an event in my household, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Lynn Cupido. Roast potatoes, butternut, rice, chicken, beef – you name it, it’s there.
While Sundays have always been a day dedicated to spending time enjoying a delicious meal with family, sometimes you just don’t want to spend endless hours in the kitchen whipping up Sunday Roast.
Well, toss the apron aside and grab your keys and wallet because these restaurants are serving the best Sunday buffets that will definitely have you going back for seconds.
