Dias Tavern is a Portuguese grill and seafood restaurant in Willowbridge Shopping Centre, Bellville. The kitchen works with charcoal and homemade sauces — trinchado, a spicy garlic and wine sauce, tops steaks served on skillets, while grilled kingklip and calamari come with rice or chips. The combos mix seafood: hake with mussels, or line fish with calamari strips.

Meat dishes include skewered cubes of chicken or beef from the charcoal grill, and pork ribs basted in barbecue sauce. The calamari starters come fried or grilled, with sweet chilli or trinchado sauce for dipping. Desserts are simple — a chocolate brownie closes the meal.

The restaurant sits in the Willowbridge mall, a short drive from central Bellville. The menu leans into Portuguese techniques without fuss, and the sauces are made in-house.
