Mouth-watering food and bold tastes make South Africa a land of good eating, an ensemble with memories sweetened by superbly crafted melts and juicy cheese burgers. Never mind wishing for good-value-feel-fulls like the Cheese Burger Double Melts, for some zing, there is the Fiery Veg to relish. Here’s a glance at a handful of top picks whose tastes have been immortalized as South African greats!
Savor the Flavor of Cheese Burger Double Melts
The Cheese Burger Double Melts are worth a try for those with a love for comfort food with a twist. The melt, which embodies all the taste of a cheeseburger, is made doubly good by all the melted cheese goodness the melt offers. Imagine layers of juicy beef patties smothered in melted cheese, lovingly grilled between soft, toasted bread. It is an indulgent and satisfying choice for lunch or dinner, guaranteed to pamper one’s palate but quell blatant hunger.
Creamy and Classic: Chicken Mayo Melts
For those who prefer lighter yet equally delicious fare, Chicken Mayo Melts would definitely hit the spot! Whether it’s tender chicken shrouded in creamy mayonnaise or melted cheese wrapped in toasted bread, it’s smooth flavors in a bite, every time. This melt is equally enjoyed for a quick, tasty bite by many South Africans due to its balance of creaminess with light savory notes.
The Perfect Comfort Food: Macon & Cheese Melts
Nothing soothes comfort-food cravings quite like Macon & Cheese Melts. The utterly indulgent combination of a smoky Macon (a firm local favorite and bacon substitute) and melted cheese between slices of toasted bread is just heavenly! The oozy melted cheese leads the warm and salty flavor of the Macon delivering mouthfuls of warm gooey bliss that could be shared, but we won’t blame you if you wanted to keep it all to yourself.
Spice Things Up with Fiery Veg
Fiery Veg is a hit option for both vegetarian lovers and those in favor of some spice! It hits the spot when one desires something spicy and tasty, minus the meat. It is a concoction of diverse fresh veggies encrusted, embraced, and smothered in one hot and spicy melt! This makes a lethal option for anyone wanting something spicy and oily as well as fresh and extremely South African.
The Love Affair of South Africans with these Melts and More
South Africa is all about variety, and these melts are no exception. There are gourmet cheeses, fresh foods, and great spices to complement all the flavors here. Plus, they are quick to make, if one is really in need of a munchie on the go. Perfect for the busy lifestyle or casual hang-out.
Whether it’s for a Cheese Burger Double Melt after work or to share some Macon & Cheese Melts at a weekend get-together, these menu favorites are comfort and joy on every plate.
Perfect Pairings for Every Melt
With appropriate sides and drinks, every meal will shine. A crispy French-fry-drizzled delight mashed together with a refreshing soft drink seems to be a common melting companion for many South Africans. If really feeling nostalgic, a cool, thick milkshake counteracts the richness and rounds the meal off to a ‘t’ — a fitting way to give an additional meaning to the entirety of melt enjoyment.

It has never been easier to reach for a Chicken Mayo Melt or the spicier Fiery Veg on the endless melt menu available. Many local outlets dish them out, generally with takeout/delivery services. So wherever you are across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere in between, these yummy melts will never be too far away.

Gooey cheese-everywhere-ness of the Cheese Burger Double Melts to the tongue-numbing heat of the Fiery Veg, these South African favorites are a testament to how simple things can go a long way in creating gastronomic bliss.
