    It was interesting attending two very different beer festivals on the same weekend. I attended the craft beer festival on the Friday night (read my review here) and Oktober Bierfest on the Sunday afternoon. Many people think this is the SAB Oktober fest but actually SAB is just a sponsor. They made the village green…

    Eat Out have released the candidates for the DSTV Food Network Restaurant awards. This is an important list, but not for the reasons you may think. You see everyone focuses on the Top 10. But this list includes the other 10 restaurants that were considered better than most. If you’re the type of person who…

    Toro Wine bar is at the back of the old Cape Quarter, outside on Waterkant Street. It’s  a small place, but quite easy to spot due to the large glass frontage which allows one to see inside. What you’ll see, if you do happen to look inside, is an appealing looking restaurant. But it’s not…

    I heard about Symphonic Rocks last year but didn’t get to the actual concert. The whole idea really appeals to me, I love orchestras. When I watch a show at the Artscape I always sit in the gallery so I have a clear view of the orchestra. Watching each section or instrument coming in at…

    I’m a big fan of the We Love Real Beer craft beer festival, you can read my rave reviews on the previous two here and here. But unfortunately this most recent one was really not enjoyable at all. All the ingredients were there for a great festival. A selection of fine craft beers, some good…

    I think there is definitely a gap that the Toffie Food Festival fills. A festival which celebrates not just food but all the things around it. Design, community, creativity, invention, passion, and more. It’s very Cape Town. It’s a pity then, that most of the elements were executed badly. This is the first year for…

      I went to the matinee showing of Fiddler on the Roof at the Artscape yesterday. It was practically sold out, great to see Cape Town being so supportive its arts. I also chatted to the lead ballerina for the recent Swan Lake at Artscape and she said every night of Swan Lake was sold…

    This event held special interest for me, not because it was Meerlust wine, nor because I would be staying over in the lovely vineyard hotel, but because I had assisted with the development of the pairings. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to do this and I found it really interesting.…
