This is Eat

Port Elizabeth


This crazily popular canteen-style joint has a tempting menu with plenty of simply prepared fish dishes as well as prawns and calamari. The setting (and the area) is less exciting, but the restaurant does takeaway, so you might want to make a picnic of it at the beach of your choice.
