Adventure Cape Town

Mzolis

 

Just off Klipfontein Road in Guguletu, Cape Town, is Mzoli's restaurant - a gem of a place known either as Mzoli's Place, Mzoli's Meat, Mzoli's Butchery or even Kwa-Mzoli. 

Despite the confusion over its name, Mzoli's is principally a popular day and night spot that happens to be a butchery, but is also a place to hang-out in the township.

 

Mzoli's is about meat. The famous meat house sells a variety of cuts, which you can then braai on no fewer than eight fires. Alongside the butchery is an open-air restaurant where there is usually a live band. 

By late afternoon around 250 people swarm in here and the restaurant is a good place to relax and take in the happenings.
