After closing down for a few years in the early 2000's, Harvey's re-opened in the same venue with more charisma, style and delectable dishes to offer.

The menu at Harvey's, Durban is adventurous and completely out there, with a vast selection of delicacies, culinary favourites and avant-garde inventive combination dishes that no one would ever think or imagine to be complimentary. And yet, they all work. The flavours, the spices, the herbs and interesting additions have all been carefully thought out to flatter each other and bring out the overall signature taste of the dish. The interesting and clever thing about the menu is that all dishes come served in quarter portions, so that each person at the table may savour a sampling of the food. Although this is not compulsory, it is an ingenious way to encourage people to try something completely out of their gastronomical comfort zone.
