Da Vinci’s review
A while ago I posted about a visit to Pizza Fair, and last night I had pizza in the Southern Suburbs again. This time it was at Da Vinci’s in Harfield Village. They have a reputation for good pizzas, so I was looking forward to trying them out. Da Vinci’s has been around for more…

Anytime Cafe review
I had a couple of people tell me that Anytime Cafe was pretty good, so I was pleased I had the opportunity to try it the other night. I don’t know if my expectations were set too high, but I wasn’t really that impressed. It’s not expensive and the food was fine, so I wouldn’t…

Sinns review
I have always liked the idea of living in a lifestyle complex. Wembley Square is definitely one of the better ones. I don’t know anyone who lives there so I can’t ask them what it’s like to live there. But the idea appeals to me. Having a coffee shop (Vida) and a bakery (Knead) right…

The Rainbow Experience

I must admit that when I received the invitation and read what it was, I wasn’t convinced that the concept was very appealing. This is how they describe it: A destination store that showcased…

Portofino review
I normally try not to go to restaurants when they have just opened because I like to give them a chance to settle in. Through a strange coincidence of circumstances, I ended up at Portofino (ex Showroom) for dinner the second night they were open. On arrival I started to have regrets as the restaurant…

Soupa Cafe review
I don’t get to have lunch in town often as I don’t work in town and finding parking is an absolute mission. A little while ago I heard about a new place called the Soupa Cafe which offers a curbside pick up service so you don’t have to find parking. It’s a pretty novel idea,…

South African Chefs Academy cooking class review
You’ll notice if you look at the list of popular posts on the navigation bar that my post on cooking courses in Cape Town is always in the top five. I’m not sure why that is, but that translates into a lot of people searching for information on cooking courses. I did a four evening…

Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market review
I seem to be on a market mission right now, two new markets in two weeks and an inclination to check out the new market at De Waterkant as soon as possible. The Fresh Goods Market in Stellenbosch has been going for quite a while, but this Saturday was their first day at their new home.…
