In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman heads to Cape Town with Table Mountain as the backdrop to visit Toni’s on Kloof, a local institution serving authentic Portuguese and Mozambican-inspired cuisine for over 25 years.

 

This is not your average peri-peri chicken spot. This is heritage cooking. Traditional recipes. Family secrets. And bold, ocean-driven flavours that tell the story of Portugal, Mozambique, and South Africa all on one plate.

 

🍲 In this episode, Nick dives into:

🔥 Traditional Portuguese Seafood Rice, a rich, flavour-packed clay pot loaded with prawns, mussels, calamari, and a secret chilli sauce, simmered to perfection

🦐 Authentic Mozambican-Portuguese flavours, where spice, seafood and heritage collide

🌶️ Toni’s signature sauces, built from decades of family recipes and refined over time

🍽️ Old-school dishes you won’t find everywhere, the kind that are slowly disappearing from modern menus

 

Nick also chats to Toni about:

• 35+ years in the restaurant industry

• Learning recipes from family across Portugal and Mozambique

• Why traditional Portuguese food is at risk of disappearing

• The difference between authentic Portuguese cuisine and what most people think it is

• Keeping heritage alive through food

 

This is Cape Town dining at its most authentic. Passion-driven. Deeply rooted. And packed with flavour.
