The Vault at Riboville review
I had the best steak of my life the other night. I can forsee that for a long time to come I am not going to be happy with the steaks I receive in restaurants. Oh well, it was worth it. A while back, Riboville changed their downstairs section (in the old bank vault) to a separate experience…

Riboville review
Those who know me will know that I’m easily pleased, but hard to impress. Riboville impressed me. It’s located in an old building at the top of Adderly St (just before you hit Wale St) which used to be a bank. They have refurbished the place but tried to keep as much of the original…

Brio review
Brio is in the old Riboville space and is owned by Lauren and Skippy who also own the Codfather in Camps Bay. It has a very different feel from Riboville.

Airstream Trailer Park at the Grand Daddy Hotel
One of the things I like about Cape Town is that the people here are always pushing the envelope, coming up with new ideas and pouring their heart and soul into them to make them world class. People are prepared to take risks and invest themselves and their resources in projects which are so new…

Art Exhibition: Water and Dust
My artistic skills are retarded. When I draw a stick man, it takes people a while to figure out what it is. For this reason I did not take art as a subject at school, nor did I ever get involved in any art related activities after school. The result is that my knowledge of…

Bowl review
Bowl is a new restaurant situated in The Adderly Hotel at 31 Adderly St. They said they named it Bowl because all the food is served in bowls, but a lot of our meals were not served in bowls, so not sure what the deal is. Anyway, 10 of us had dinner there the other…
