\n<\/strong>Republik has a small food menu that packs a big punch. Their burger patties are free-range and \u00a0made with 100% grass-fed beef. The lunch time \u2018Coke special\u2019 is a real treat \u2013 featuring a 180 g beef burger patty smoked in Coca-Cola, served on a bun with cheese and onions (also caramelised in Coca-Cola). It\u2019s a unique twist on an old favourite. The Hipster burger is also a good choice when you refuse to go mainstream (hipsterism not required). Instead of the bun, you\u2019ll get your filling sandwiched between two portabello mushrooms, served with a side of zucchini fries. The deep-fried Bar One bites are a real treat for those with a serious sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

\n<\/b>Unity is all about good quality food and good value for money. Their philosophy is \u2018quality, sustainability and taste\u2019 and they make a point of sourcing their meat straight from the farm and in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n
\nThis is Durban, which means you will probably encounter a good curry or two. The chicken and prawn curry at Unity Brasserie & Bar is very tasty, so give it a whirl. If you prefer a lighter meal you should opt for the spinach and feta samoosas accompanied by a minty yogurt dip.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Citizen Saboteur is a nice and easy-drinking IPA to start off with. Brewdog Punk IPA is a Scottish beer that has a nice balance between the bitterness of the hops and a sweet,\u00a0somewhat fruity aroma. If you like a good stout beer, then Durban local Standeaven Brewery\u2019s #5 Press Club is a good option, with hints of coffee on the palate.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Tasty tapas and street food from all corners of the globe. Try a tapas board with tasty bites like Salt and Pepper Squid and Mini Malay Lentil Bunnies. Or go the whole way with a yum sounding Umami Burger with gorgonzola, port reduction, grilled pears and the rather intriguing sounding ‘umami sprinkles’.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>That Brewing Company brews a range of beers to suit all palates. Try a light and sessionable That Blonde Ale. Their\u00a0That Good Weiss is a traditional, unfiltered German weiss. That Red Irish Cream Ale is malty, creamy and has an enjoyable, smooth mouthfeel.<\/p>\n
