    Many people tell me that the sushi at Willoughby’s is the best in Cape Town. I’ve eaten at Willoughby’s many times, and while I enjoy their seafood dishes, I’m not a fan of their sushi purely because the pieces are too big. You can read more in my review here. So I was very excited…

    I was invited a while ago to try out Bhandaris Indian restaurant in Westlake, they had recently defranchised from Bihari and were keen to let everyone know that. I put off going because the last time I was in Westlake, I ate at some dodgy pub and it was all so horrible that I didn’t…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    There are so many restaurants in the Waterfront and being a local, I don’t eat in the Waterfront that often. This is why it has taken me so long to get to Meloncino (they have been open two years now) even though I have heard many good reports. I decided on my most recent visit…

    If you have limited knowledge of the history of theatre, then like me you won’t now what Vaudeville means. But these days, we need not be ignorant for long. Google and Wikipedia come to the rescue again and provide us with the following definition: Vaudeville was a theatrical genre of variety entertainment in the United…

  • Cafe Max breakfast review

    I recently reviewed Voila and Lazari on the Cape Quarter. These are pretty cool breakfast options if you’re happy to wait for a table and pay a fortune for your breakfast. Walking distance from the Cape Quarter (up the road and right along Waterkant street) is a little gem called Cafe Max, hidden on a…
