Thanks for stopping by! Nominations for the 2016 Eat Out 500 have closed. Once we have compiled the list of nominees, rating by our editorial panel will begin.
We want to know which restaurants you think should be in the next Eat Out 500 featured in the 2016 Eat Out magazine.

Seven in Kelkner str Bloemfontein is my no 1. Whether it be a business lunch or a romantic evening, the trained staff never fails to impress. The chef and owner, Kim Brackenridge has dedicated her life to the culinary art she brings to her establishment. She comes to check on every patron when possible and has for this reason, amongst many, won the Diners Club Platinum award a few years in a row. HIGHLY recommended!
