In no particular order, here are 5 stylish South African restaurants we think are really, really, really ridiculously good looking.

1. The Pot Luck Club

Expect fantastic views of the city (especially at night) and delicious modern cuisine from this edgy and stylish venue.

Silo Building, Top Floor, The Old Biscuit Mill, 373- 375 Albert Road, Woodstock, Cape Town, thepotluckclub.co.za, 021 447 0804

2. Chefs Warehouse and Canteen

We love how the walls of this buzzing restaurant are stacked with all sorts of exotic cooking ingredients and kitchenware.

92 Bree Street, Cape Town, chefswarehouse.co.za, 021 422 0128

3. Perron

This bright and flashy Mexican spot is decorated in turquoise and pink (not to mention fun florals). Perfect for an evening of flamboyance!

Illovo Junction, corner of Oxford Road and Corlett Drive, Johannesburg, perron.co.za, 011 880 7296

4. Harveys

This previous Eat Out Style Award winner is all about dramatic elegance. Think giant chandeliers and a phantom staircase.

Shop 13 Umhlanga Centre, 185 Ridge Road, Umhlanga Rocks, Durban, harveysrestaurant.co.za, 031 561 4977

5. Five Hundred

The open kitchen is the first thing you see as you enter, which is just one of the elements that makes this exclusive restaurant a truly theatrical experience.

The Saxon Hotel, 36 Saxon Road, Sandhurst, Sandton, Johannesburg, saxon.co.za, 011 292 6000
