Durban Dining - Where to eat, drink and be merry

Explore this vibrant city and eat your way up and down the east coast. I have selected a variety of what I consider 'local favorite hot spots' that will satisfy international standards. Click the names to view their websites. A few places do not have websites set up- don't be discouraged, you know the area and Google Maps knows the way!

The southern-most name on the map is Durban (where we begin), moving north to Durban North (our second focal region) and the block region on the map above is Umhlanga (our third focus). It takes around 20minutes to get from Durban to Umhlanga on the M4.
