Espresso Cafe and Bistro

A Parkhurst staple with a large and widely varied menu to please most tastes, great service and a lively social atmosphere. The owner is something of a local celebrity having starred in South Africa's version of the TV series Survivor. Most of the restaurant is on the sidewalk so opt for a streetside table where you can people-watch and get an eyeful of some flashy horsepower. Prego rolls, calamari, salads, pastas and pizzas are on offer and the spicy peri-peri sauce is a signature item.
