These are the Friday food specials we know about in Cape Town. Specials that run only on Fridays come first, if there are any, then the ones that also run on other days. Every day specials are in a short list at the bottom, and each one links to its full details. We check every special on the venue's own website, and the list updates daily as deals start and end.
Prices and times change without much warning, so check with the venue before you go, especially for set menus and anything you need to book.

We also list Saturday food specials and Sunday food specials for the rest of the weekend, and Monday food specials for when the week starts again. For drinks, try our happy hour specials. Every day's list is in our weekly specials section. Specials that run all seven days have their own page too: every day food specials.
Frequently Asked Questions
The page updates every day, and we recheck each venue’s website about once a month. Deals that have ended come off the list, and we add new ones as we find them.
Some do, but most run on other days too, often every day or every weekday. The When line on each card gives the days and the time of day. For the every day specials in the short list at the bottom, follow the link to the full card.
For some specials, yes. Conditions like sit-down only or a minimum group size are in the Note on each card, and cards link to the venue’s booking page when it has one.
We only list specials we can confirm on the venue’s own website. If you know of one we’ve missed, tell us through our contact page.
