St. Clements

When we think of our favourite places to gather as a group in Durban, St. Clements Restaurant always tops the list. Located in the heart of Musgrave, this unique venue offers an earthy welcome with its charming plant nursery, a rustic Asian-inspired restaurant, and a serene garden cafe. You can find more about this gem on the St. Clements Facebook page. The combination of fresh herbs picked right from their garden and the electric atmosphere during live music events make St. Clements an integral part of the Durban Vibe.

Among our favourite dishes, the traditional Cyprus sandwich stands out with its delightful combination of halloumi, caramelised onion, and tomato. The rich, savoury flavours meld perfectly together, offering a taste that is both unique and comforting. For mains, the prego steak on sourdough served with chips and their trademark hot sauce is a must-try. The steak is tender and the sauce adds a perfect zing, making every bite a delight. Another favourite is the chicken/beef laab, a fiery Thai herb and lemon salad served with warm rice. This dish is a flavour explosion, balancing heat with fresh citrus notes, making it a testament to St. Clements’ creative cuisine that perfectly fits into the Durban Vibe. For vegetarians, the Thai fried rice veggie is a hearty and satisfying option, brimming with fresh vegetables and a subtle, aromatic spice. Lastly, the peri-peri prawns with sourdough, served with chips or salad, are simply divine, offering a spicy, succulent taste that seafood lovers will adore.

St. Clements is more than just a dining experience; it’s a cultural hub that embodies the best restaurants in Durban with its innovative dishes and vibrant atmosphere.
