It’s Balloon Week… so we thought we’d give you one more reason to hang around Makhanda this Sunday. 🎈

Come by for lunch, linger a while, and stay for dinner if the mood takes you.

Sunday | 11am – 7:30pm

The w**e will be cold, the b**r will be colder, and there’s no need to rush off.

Happy Heritage Day from Opposite the Arch & Family!

Today we celebrate what makes South Africa so wonderfully us — our different cultures, languages, traditions, food, stories and the people who bring them all together.

From The Barista, Major Fraser’s, Hello Gorgeous Gifts, Lola’s Dessert Bar, The Lab, Serenity Day Spa, Andrea Ginn Properties, Lieze Roper Dietitian and Glenstone Farmstall, we’re proud to be part of this little community in Makhanda.

Because community is built in the everyday things — a friendly hello, a familiar face, a table shared, a story told, a helping hand and that feeling of “we’ve got each other.”

“South Africa’s strength is found in the beautiful mix of people, cultures and stories that make up our shared home.”

Here’s to celebrating where we come from, appreciating what makes each of us different, and continuing to build a community where everyone has a place.

From our little corner of Mzansi to yours — Happy Heritage Day! 🇿🇦

Oh eh eh… the rugby didn’t quite go to plan.

So, as we recover from the trauma, we think you need a comfort burger. Because Mzansi may be hurting, but we’re still backing our Bokke.

Enter the Double Cheese Smash Burger — our longest-standing burger and a firm fan favourite. An oldie but a goodie, and for very good reason.

Two juicy, crispy-edged patties, double molten cheese, tangy pickles and a mountain of golden, salty fries.

Some things just get better with time. And some nights call for a little extra cheese, Mzansi. 🇿🇦

Biscoff Milkshake. Do we need to say more? Nope. 😍

Gorgeous, indulgent and exactly what a Biscoff lover wants to see.

If you know, you know.
And if you don’t… you need to find out. 😂
