What can R200 get you in Cape Town? From cheap eats and wine tastings to museums, hikes and slightly questionable swims in the Atlantic, there are plenty of things to do in Cape Town<\/a> under R200. Whether you need affordable Cape Town activities, a cheap date idea or something fun to do this weekend, your R200 can still leave the house and have a personality.<\/p>\n

Prices and specials were checked in July 2026 but may change. Confirm availability, dates and booking conditions directly with each business before visiting.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cape Town loves an expensive tasting menu. Luckily, it also loves a suspiciously good weekday special.<\/p>\n

Get Two Burgers for the Price of One at Caf\u00e9 Manhattan<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cost: Price of one burger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday is two-for-one burger night at Caf\u00e9 Manhattan<\/a> in De Waterkant. Order a single or double burger and receive a second one at no additional cost.<\/p>\n

Bring someone you like. Or order both and practise self-love.<\/p>\n

Order R85 Burgers at Taproom<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cost: R85<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taproom<\/a> in Salt River runs its Makeup Mondays special every Monday, with burgers priced at R85 throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Visit between 16:00 and 18:00 and you can also get two 500ml Devil\u2019s Peak lagers for R70. That keeps the burger-and-beer combination below R200.<\/p>\n

Eat Three Tacos at Van Hunks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cost: R99<\/strong><\/p>\n

Van Hunks<\/a> on Kloof Street serves three tacos for R99 as part of its Mexican Monday offering. Margaritas are also available for R50. As close to Mexico<\/a> as you\u2019ll get for this price.<\/p>\n

That means tacos and a margarita for R149. Financial responsibility has never tasted so festive.<\/p>\n

Cost: R179<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fish and chips, spatchcock chicken, or six oysters with a glass of bubbly are also offered at the same price.<\/p>\n

Waterfront views and steak for under R200? Cape Town must have briefly forgotten where it was.<\/p>\n

Eat Hake and Chips at Fish on the Rocks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cost: Around R105<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fish on the Rocks<\/a> is a Hout Bay institution serving seafood beside the harbour.<\/p>\n

Its hake and chips have been listed at approximately R105, leaving enough change from R200 for a drink or something to defend your lunch from the seagulls.<\/p>\n

The newspaper wrapping adds flavour. We do not make the rules.<\/p>\n
