The South African Shop
A little bit of South Africa in Australia. Along with gifts and a huge selection of South African Groceries.
The South African Shop was born from our inspiration to bring a little taste of home, to our new home here in Melbourne. Family owned and operated for 20 years we offer in store shopping, home delivery, and online orders for all your beloved South African products! We stock South African Wines, South African Meats, traditional biltong, Boerewors, South African Beers, South Arican Cider, South Afri
If you love all things spicy, time to taste every peri peri sauce we have on offer cause they’re all so delicious in their own way 🥵 If your brave enough, we have some hot sauces that will blow you away figuratively and literally!!
Team Tuesdays!!!
As I’m sure most of you know we are a family run business, so as you’ll come to see, most of our employees are related 😂 Paris is the youngest daughter of Monica and Bino, she has literally grown up in the shop. The Caulfield store first opened whilst Monica was pregnant with Paris, it’s how we all keep track of how long the store has been around. Paris is our star Koeksister maker and in her spare time she is studying Midwifery or also looking after her favourite people in the world, her niece and nephew.
Paris’ fave Product: Cape and Herb Spice, Louisiana Cajun (ask her for any tips to use this spice, it’s amazing)
Team Tuesdays!
These two wonderful people are our gorgeous business owners, Bino & Monica Da Silva. If you’ve ever been to the shop we are sure you would have been served by one of these two before. Bino is always found cooking the most delicious food in the kitchen and Monica is almost exclusively found laughing and chatting away to customers at the till or whilst packing a shelf.
Almost 25 years ago they decided to move their young family to Australia and soon after take the leap to open the Templestowe shop. All these years later they’re still working hard just now with a few extra helpers 😂 If you don’t find them working at the shops, you’ll find Bino on the Golf Course and Monica playing with her grandchildren ♥️
Monica’s favourite product: Ice cold Grapetiser 🍇
Binos favourite product: Good Old Tennis biscuits
That feeling of joy you get before your biltong gets handed to you 😍🥹😂
