District Six Eatery

District Six Eatery
FORMER dancer and choreographer Clarence Swartland is working to create the atmosphere of his childhood home in Cape Town's District Six with dishes like smoorsnoek, bobotie, tomato bredie and denningvleis – and the best milk tart you're likely to find anywhere. Swartland shares the cooking with long-time chef Sophie Links. The menu they produce is a mixture of boerekos and Cape Malay at the moment but they're planning to expand it because, says Swartland, there was a mix of people – and of cuisines – in the old District Six. It's a small restaurant, vibrantly decorated with family photos and panama hats, and full every night and some lunchtimes, so booking is a good idea. 42B Greenhill Road, Emmarentia Telephone: 011 486 7226 Hours: Lunch and dinner Tuesdays to Saturdays, lunch only on Sunday
