Atlanta Dining: 10 Degrees South Live Music Tuedays

A South African sunset from our honeymoon

On Tuesdays Atlanta’s only South African restaurant, 10 Degrees South will have live music by Christian Jones from 6- 9 p.m. and special $5 cocktails. Those who arrive early can sample South African fare with complimentary appetizers from 6-6:30.

Not sure what South African fare entails? The cuisine melds flavors from around the world to create the unique fusion for which South Africa is known. Influences from French, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Malaysian, Indian and Mediterranean cultures are apparent throughout the menu. Signature menu items range from the familiar, including Peri-Peri Chicken and Prawns, to more eclectic dishes such as Ostrich Medallions and a lean sausage called Boerewors.

I have very fond memories of my South African honeymoon, so I might just have to schlep up to Buckhead to give this a try, although Mr. AT will be sad to find his beloved malva pudding is not on the menu.
