Lazari breakfast review
After my bad dish selection at Viola last weekend, I thought I’d go back and have what I should have. Unfortunately, as happens with groups, we ran late and only arrived at the Cape Quarter Extension after 10:30am which is a big mistake. It effectively means you will wait 45mins for a table and another…

Lazari review
I’ve always enjoyed the original Cafe Lazari in Vredehoek Avenue, so I was quite stoked to hear that another Lazari was opening in the New Cape Quarter Extension. I was planning to have breakfast there at my earliest opportunity but found an opportunity to have a quick lunch there first. It can be a little…

Voila breakfast review
I’m impressed with the new Cape Quarter Extension and have been there a few times this last week. On Tuesday evening I went to the launch of Cru Cafe and on Friday evening I went to the launch of Vanilla, and then ate a Cru Cafe after that. All of the restaurants were busy on…

Cru Cafe review
I went to the launch of Cru Cafe on Tuesday and then ate there on Friday night. The launch was good in that the snacks on offer were from the tapas menu so we could test the food, but there was nobody around to welcome me and explain what Cru Cafe is all about. So…

Duchess of Wisbeach review
The Duchess of Wisbeach (I might just refer to it as just The Duchess, as seems to be the trend in conversations I’ve had) is around the corner from a new favourite of mine, La Boheme. I quite like that they are close together because I’d be happy to eat at either so am bound…

&Union breakfast review
I’ve reviewed &Union before (here), and it’s no secret that their pork prego roll is one of my favourite meals. A few months ago they started offering breakfasts and I popped in the other day to try them out. Their breakfast menu is as unusual as their lunch/dinner menu. No bacon and eggs, just tostadas…

Liquorice & Lime review
I quite liked my breakfast at Liquorice & Lime. I had the De-Lite breakfast (R32) which consists of two eggs, bacon, tomato, mushrooms and toast. I had fried eggs and they were done according to specification and the bacon was just turning crispy which is how I like it. I washed it down with a flat…

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…
