On Saturday I went with my family to Bread & Wine on Moreson estate for lunch. What an amazing lunch it was. I have been eager to try Bread and Wine because I have heard great reviews and it was also voted in the SA top ten by Eat Out magazine. The weather on Saturday was…

Societi Bistro has received some good reviews and accolades over the past year or so, for this reason I’ve been quite keen to try it. I had dinner there the other night with 3 friends. The place was not very full, but despite that it retains its warm ambiance. The service was good, but obviously…

On Fridays, Beluga is running a special: Half price sushi and cocktails between 5pm and 7pm. They have 2 other specials which are available all the time: A sushi platter for R99 and 1kg of prawns for R99. I have had both the R99 specials before (it’s actually a good meal for 2 people to…

High expectations are a major problem because they invariably lead to disappointment. Every person I know who has been to the the Tent of Dreams told me that it was absolutely fantastic, so my expectations were very high. R300 plus drinks and tip is also a pretty expensive evening, so you want to feel that you’re…

One of the things I love about Cape Town is that it offers so many diverse options that you can find almost anything you are looking for. One of the places I don’t get to nearly as often as I’d like is Kalk Bay, it’s got such a lovely character. In Winter it’s super cozy and in…

A little while ago I posted a review on Home again in Vredehoek, which you can read here. Last night I ate at Home, the original restaurant in Harfield Village. The two restaurants are not exactly the same, the menus are slightly different and Home Again offers a tapas menu between 5pm and 7pm for…

I’m surprised I haven’t done a review of Buena Vista yet, it’s definitely a favourite. Buena Vista is one of those places that you can rely on when you are looking for a bit of a vibe on a quiet night. They have a live jazz band on Monday nights which makes for a great…

Hunger is definitely one of the banes of my life. It doesn’t matter how much you eat, you always get hungry again. You can stuff yourself till you are in pain and can’t stand the sight of food, but in a few hours time you’ll be hungry again. The big problem with hunger is that…

Restaurants on wine farms range from fantastic to very average. I have been to a few which are very obviously taking advantage of their location. They think that because they are on a wine farm they can charge the earth even though the service is really average and the food worse. However, it’s a magic…

I’d heard from a few people that Il Leone was absolutely fabulous. I got the impression in my mind of casual, loud Italian restaurant with some tasty Italian food. The guests made gregarious by excessive consumption of reasonably priced red wine. Boy do I miss the old Strega. So, it turned out to be very…
