Eat Out unveils the best everyday eateries in the Western Cape
The 2017 Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Best Everyday Eateries in the Western Cape list has been unveiled. The winners in other provinces will be announced next week.
The top names in each category were determined by a two-step process. Star ratings by the public on from 1 October 2016 to 30 August 2017 were tallied. The restaurants that received a large volume of high scores from fans were then visited by Eat Out’s professional critics, who gave their own ratings. Final results were based on a 50/50 composite score from the public and the critics.
Anelde Greeff - Eat Out Editor-in-Chief, Clayton Mataranyika, Sam Mparaganda of Shio – Winners for Best Asian Eatery
This is the third year running that Eat Out, together with Mercedes-Benz, has invited the public to help choose South Africa’s favourite everyday restaurants. “While the winners in previous years were determined solely based on public reviews, this year restaurant owners and food enthusiasts asked for the experts on our panel of critics to play a bigger role,” said Anelde Greeff, editor-in-chief of Eat Out.
