Dinner at the Outspan in Kalk Bay
We had family stay with us over the Festive Season and with an empty fridge on our return from a week in Citrusdal the only solution was to drive the short distance along Main Road to Kalk Bay, park and stroll along deciding where to have dinner.We tried f...
Addis in Cape Town – eating with your hands is all it’s cut out to be
As you have no doubt derived from the rather obvious name of the restaurant, Addis in Cape Town is a bit of Ethiopia bang smack in the middle of Cape Town.I don't usually do 'theme' restaurants, particularly those aimed at tourists. To be honest, I don't g...
Harbour House Restaurant in Kalk Bay – A Review
It was my birthday on Monday and although my husband offered to make francolin curry for dinner I got my way and off to Harbour House we went! We’ve often been to Polana but have not eaten in the ‘smarter’ part upstairs and oh it’s so pretty!The floor to ...
Two Oceans Restaurant – Feasting where the two oceans meet
Before we get into a lengthy debate, the tip of Africa is not the southern most point of the Cape. Confused? I was. But it's fairly simple. Cape Agulhas, also known as L'Agulhas, is the southern most tip of Africa – believe it or not it does lie further south ...
Reubens at One&Only in Cape Town
We had friends from the Lowveld stay with us for the weekend and they very kindly took us to Reuben’s at the One&Only for dinner on Friday night. I’ve eaten at Reuben’s in Franschhoek and the Cape Town operation (which opened on October 1st) is just as go...
Lunch at Lanzerac in Stellenbosch
We spent the recent Heritage Day long weekend in the Cape Winelands and had lunch at Lanzerac on Friday. I’d spent a few hours at the Spa and feeling a bit peckish we opted for what was close at hand – The Taphuis! There was a fresh breeze blowing so we were...
Mano’s in Green Point – a review
I went to Mano’s in Green Point for dinner with friends on Wednesday night and I feel like I’ve been let in on Cape Towns best kept secret! What a fantastic little haunt this is and judging by the packed interior a lot of other folk think so to!Located at...

I’ve had breakfast at Jonkershuis, I’ve had lunch at Jonkershuis, I’ve had scones and tea at Jonkershuis and finally, on Friday evening, I had dinner at Jonkershuis Restaurant! We planned ahead and booked a table but on arrival at Groot Constantia we realised...

Cafe Delicieux in Welgemoed Cape Town – A Review
There are many little hidden gems in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town. For instance, there is a quiet little eatery located at the Welgemoed forum called Café Delicieux. This is a trendy café where those in the know gather for delicious brunches or a tasty li...
Café Roux in Noordhoek, perfect for families or a leisurely luncheon
Sarah's birthday (see my post from Friday) continued into Sunday because she had no idea that her wonderful friends had organised an entire treat of a day on Saturday! So, she'd arranged lunch at Café Roux in Noordhoek for the wider circle of chums and for th...
Pizza for Lunch at Posticino – a highlight of Sea Point
There's something decidedly hodge podge about Posticino – the virtually emerald green sign indicating the restaurant, the rather glamorous and trendy outdoor terrace that looks like something out of Italy, the almost overcumbersome arches, and then the quaint,...
La Perla in Sea Point – a review
I’m a huge Springbok fan and there is nothing I enjoy more than a Saturday afternoon in front of the television cheering them on to victory. However, I’m also closer to 40 than I am to 30, so standing in a heaving pub where you have to queue for a drink has d...
Café Jo Brown – a Long Street experience not to be missed
Café Jo Brown might lie just off the top end of Long Street in Buiten Street, in Cape Town's thriving City Bowl, but in truth its flavour, personality and fresh faced candor means it deserves to take its place on Long Street, in amongst the stream of other din...
Breakfast at Cafeen in Harfield Village, Cape Town
I often drive past this little place on Third Avenue in Harfield Village but I haven’t yet had the chance to go in and experience it. There are always lots of cars parked outside and on a Saturday morning it looks filled to bursting with people, which is alway...
