On the 10th April I posted an entry titled World’s Best Restaurants in which I mentioned that Le Quartier Francais had been voted 38th best restaurant in the world. Soon after that I went to test it out. Le Quartier Francais actually consists of 2 restaurants, iCi for casual dining and The Tasting Room for…

It’s nice to start the month off with a positive review. I’ve eaten at Fork twice since they opened a couple of months ago and I enjoyed my experience both times. Fork is a tapas bar. They called it Fork because everything on the menu can be eaten with a fork (there are no knives…

I went to the Asian Kitchen in Glen Cairn for lunch. Don’t confuse this one with Chef Pon’s Asian Kitchen in Gardens. It was a pretty bad experience. I need to learn to trust my instincts more because as I walked in I thought that it wasn’t going to be up to scratch. The place…

I don’t go to Obz that often. The last time I went was to check out the Holistic Lifestyle Faire that happens there on the first Sunday of every month. It’s definitely the kind of thing one would expect to find on the other side of the Lentil Curtain (Noorhoek, Kalk Bay area). I don’t…
