Some people have a picture in their mind of what a wine estate should look like. That picture normally involves lots of big trees, long driveways and Cape Dutch style homesteads. A lot of wine farms do look like that, but they are normally the older ones. Newer wine farms get to choose their own…

A while ago I tweeted about having fantastic poached eggs at the Commodore hotel in the Waterfront (what do you mean you’re not following me on Twitter? Get with the program, click here), and I’m excited to report I had great poached eggs again on Saturday, this time at the Sidewalk Cafe. It may seem…

You don’t really need me to review this restaurant for you. Jardine has been around for nearly four years now and in that time it has been in the Eat Out top ten several times, has been awarded 3 out of 3 starts by Rossouw’s Restaurant Guide and has also been in the World Top…

When the Biscuit Mill opened a few years ago, it didn’t take a prophet to predict that Woodstock was on track for a revival. I must admit that I imagined it would happen faster but I think it is finally hitting a tipping point now. There are several restaurants and clubs popping up. I enjoy getting…

The other day someone asked me if I thought the Grand on the Beach is the place of the season and after thinking about it I said yes. So it’s important for me to get this review out to you. I’ve been twice, once for lunch and once for dinner, so that combined with my…

Grande Provence made it into the Eat Out top ten for the first time (2010) and so I was quite eager to try it out. Seeing as I was heading out that way for the Killers concert (my review of that debacle here) on Sunday evening, I booked a group of us in at The Restaurant…

I had both breakfast and lunch at The Roundhouse this past weekend. They only started serving breakfasts and lunches out on the lawns a couple of months ago. It’s way more casual than dinner inside was. The menu is a checklist, you simply tick off the things you want to order. the menu is also…
