Must eat at: Billy the B.U.M.S

Billy the BUMS is also known as the preferred playground of the NATAL SHARKS. B.U.M’s stands for "Basic Up Market Socialite" and this is the crowd that frequents the establishment, where focus on atmosphere is as important as on the American-styled food.

The average cost per person would be about R30.00 – R60.00.
