ABOUT DUTCHY'S

Welcome to Dutchy’s, South Florida’s favorite South African market, restaurant, and gathering place for everyone who loves bold flavor, good company, and a lekker bite.

What started over a decade ago as a small family dream has grown into a thriving community hub, a place where South Africans find home again, and where Americans discover their new favorite comfort food.

Since day one, Izak & Natasha De Wet have poured heart, humor, and hard work into building Dutchy’s into what it is today: authentic, warm, cheeky, and always delicious.

Our Story

Dutchy’s opened its doors in Plantation, FL with one goal: bring the true taste of South Africa to South Florida. Not a watered-down version, the real deal. The “your-mom-would-approve” version.

From handmade Biltong and Droëwors, Boerewors to Meat Pies, and all the groceries you grew up with, we’ve made it our mission to keep South African classics alive while welcoming new customers into the culture.

Over the years, Dutchy’s evolved into something bigger than just a shop or restaurant. It became a place where accents mix, stories flow, and people gather to eat, laugh, and feel at home, whether they’re South African, American, or just hungry.

Two Locations, One Mission

As Dutchy’s grew, so did the demand, especially from our loyal customers up north. You asked, we listened.

Plantation – Restaurant + Market

Our Plantation location remains our flagship:
✔ Full restaurant serving authentic South African meals
✔ In-house Biltong + Droëwors + Fresh Boerewors
✔ Grocery store packed with South African goods

It’s the place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a proper plate of food — the way it was meant to be.

Dutchy’s Market – Mizner Plaza, Boca Raton

This store is market-only (no restaurant menu), but it’s fully stocked with all your favorites:
✔ Groceries
✔ Biltong
✔ Droëwors
✔ Frozen Meat Pies
✔ South African Essentials

When you’re craving a full meal, Plantation is still your spot. When you need your pantry stocked and your snack drawer properly sorted, Boca’s got you covered.
