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…

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…

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…

 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…

I’m often pleasantly surprised at how Cape Town supports ventures which are very out of the ordinary. I first encountered Birds Cafe a few years ago when a friend of mine was using it on Friday evenings as a tapas restaurant. I found the place to be quite eccentric. There were no pictures on the walls,…

I’m typing this review while sitting in Buzz Cafe because I am here alone, so I can. This is the first time I am writing a review ‘live’. The first thing I noticed is that they don’t offer WiFi, which I think is a big disadvantage these days. I often won’t go to a place…

It’s quite crazy how Cape Town is divided into it’s various areas and people don’t leave their area unless they really have to. Since living in Seapoint, I seldom eat at restaurants that aren’t in town or on the Atlantic Seaboard. When I do it’s generally a ‘day trip’ to Kalk Bay or something. So…

If you ask a few people what their favourite breakfast spot is, Daily Deli will most likely be mentioned. I can see what the appeal is, although a passer by might not. I’m not sure how many people pass by the Daily Deli who weren’t on their way there in the first place. It’s a…

I definitely like restaurants that make their own bread. Apart from having fresh, extraordinary bread with the meal, it seems to create an ambiance and show a commitment to the art of producing serving food. I enjoyed watching bread being made while I breakfasted at Manna the other day and C’est La Vie in Kalk…
