Table of Peace and Unity review
The Good Food & Wine Show will be taking place in Cape Town next month at the ICC. This is definitely one of the biggest food related events on the calendar. There is so much going on for the duration of the show, one could easily spend more than a day there. Apart from the…

Spier Contemporary Art Exhibition
I would not categorise myself as an art aficionado. However, I do appreciate art and the more I learn, the more appreciative I become. Cape Town is certainly a creative hub in South Africa and we are fortunate to have so much high quality art available to us. I attended the Design Indaba a short…

Greens review (Claremont)
I was meeting a friend for a catch up in Southern Suburbs a little while ago and it was a nice sunny day, so we wanted something with an al fresco section. Greens came to mind and we agreed to meet there. My experience at Greens was a careful balancing act as the warm sun…

Breakfast at Bistro Sixteen82 review
A while ago I attended the launch of Bistro Sixteen82 and was very impressed, you can read my thoughts here. There were some complaints in their first few weeks, but they seem to have their ducks in a row now as the feedback I hear now is mostly positive. I was quite pleased to be…

Taste of Cape Town 2010 review
Ok, so apologies to all my Twitter followers (twitter.com/RelaxWithDax if you’re not following me) for not giving you a blow by blow, but I was too busy enjoying myself. You should know by now, I like to enjoy things and tell you about it afterwards. No time for tweeting or photos even. So I ended…

Nobu review
Nobu is one of the two restaurants at the One & Only hotel in the Waterfront. I reviewed Maze by Gordon Ramsay a little while ago, and last week I had the opportunity to dine at Nobu by Nobuyuki Matsuhisa. Maze and Nobu have been largely shunned by locals who feel that the prices are…

Slow Food Mother City
My experience is that there is a growing disconnect between people and the food they consume (I use the word consume because I think eating has connotations which often don’t apply). I have many friends who cannot cook, many more who struggle to determine the difference between healthy and unhealthy options and most people I…

Casa Nostra restaurant review
I feel like I should visit this restaurant again before I review it, but I don’t know when I’ll get another chance to visit so this review will have to do for now. It wasn’t a great first experience. We felt like pizza and decided that instead of going to Primi up the road, we…

Eight restaurant at Spier review
This morning I went on a Slow Food Mother City outing to visit the biodynamic chicken farm at Spier, which was extremely interesting. I’ll write about the visit in more detail in another post but I want to share one of the most revealing comments of the day. The chickens they sell are quite a bit…

Top Waterfront Restaurants
A lot of people assume that I don’t enjoy eating at the V&A Waterfront because it’s a mall and it’s always packed with tourists. This is not in fact true, the Waterfront may be a mall and it may be packed with tourists, but I do eat there often. There are several reasons I eat…
