THE BEST RIBS AND CHIPS IN TOWN. Jose, the owner welcomes you personally to his Portuguese restaurant, and serves you too. There is no liquor licence, so you can take your own drinks. The food sometimes takes an hour or so to arrive if you are in groups of 10 or more, but trust me - it is worth every hunger pain for the wait. No need for knives and forks - just dig in... Just wear a baggy top- you wont be able to pull your stomach in. This is really a relaxed vibe, and definitely the best, hands down !!!!

Sightseeing
Port Elizabeth owes its origin and development to a large extent to the arrival of the British Settlers in 1820. At the time of their arrival Governor Lord Charles Somerset was on leave in England and Sir Rufane Donkin acted for him from 13 January, 18 . The Donkin's position assists in observing and protecting the whole bay. This has also been updated with modern amenities, and sometimes hosts the down hill ' skateboarding battles' in the bay.

Parks & Nature
You should visit the Addo Elephant Park which is close to Port Elizabeth. The National Park is MUCH cheaper than any private game reserves. The original elephant section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when only eleven elephants habituated the area. Today this finely-tuned ecosystem is a sanctuary to over 600 elephant, lion, buffalo, black rhino, spotted hyena, leopard, a variety of antelope and zebra species, as well as the unique Addo flightless dung beetle, found almost exclusively in Addo. The park can exclusively claim to be the only national park in the world to conserve the “Big 7” – the Big 5 as well as the southern right whale and great white shark off the Algoa Bay coast.
