As the owner of Far Away Place guesthouse in Curry’s Post, I’m often asked by guests where they can find the best restaurant in the Midlands Meander—and without hesitation, my answer is right here in Howick at this gem in Yard 41.
From the moment you step in, you feel the warmth and passion of the team who also own Treatery, another much-loved eatery in the same Yard 41 complex. Their commitment to quality and creativity shines through in every dish, making it one of the most memorable dining experiences in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
What makes FORTY ONE truly stand out is that their menu is built around FIRE as the cooking element of choice. The smoky depth of flavour, charred perfection, and bold style of presentation elevate every meal. As someone who personally loves fire as an element, I find this focus both exciting and deeply satisfying—it’s food with soul and flame.
Another highlight is their tapas-style small eats menu, which is perfect for sharing. It gives you the chance to taste a variety of their gorgeous dishes in one sitting, turning a meal into a social, flavour-filled experience. It’s a wonderful way to explore the chef’s creativity and enjoy a little bit of everything.
The FORTY ONE menu overall, is thoughtfully curated, offering everything from beautifully presented local favourites to inventive new flavours. The attention to detail, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality combine to create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and unforgettable. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch, a romantic dinner, or a special celebration, this restaurant delivers every time.
If you’re exploring the Midlands Meander and searching for the best restaurants near Howick, do yourself a favour and make this your stop. It’s the kind of place I can confidently recommend to my own guests at Far Away Place, knowing they’ll leave as delighted as I always do.
Without a doubt, this is one of the top restaurants in the Howick area of the Midlands Meander—an absolute highlight of any visit to the KZN Midlands.
