Description:
Buds is a laid back dockside diner, situated in the heart of the Durban harbors’ industrial area of Bayhead.

The restaurants philosophy is about lifestyle issues where long lazy lunches, tall stories and a well stocked bar is the order of the day. If you are not in a hurry, a popular way of eating is to order one dish at a time, and everyone shares. This way you don’t have to plough through one big meal that goes cold on you, and you get to taste a variety of dishes. Eating and drinking slowly is much more sociable, healthier, and the perfect antidote to today’s fast paced lifestyle. The food philosophy borrows a lot from the Vietnamese, where the food is cooked simply and served with a variety of sauces that enhance, rather than dominate the flavors.

This lends itself to ‘food tastings’ where you can experience tastes in the same dish and the manner of eating can greatly influence the taste. This concept is perfectly illustrated with the Caprese salad and Pestos and is great for a long lazy lunch, with a suitable drinks menu, of course!
