And whether you’re visiting for the day from Cape Town, or coming for an extended stay from elsewhere, you’ll be pleased to know that there are several pub ‘n grills in Betty’s Bay, just waiting for your taste buds.
Exciting, unpretentious and wholesome pub grub is a staple here, ideal for those looking for a quick bite and can satisfy even the fussiest of eaters.
