Bo Kaap Kombuis – warm hospitality and the best Bobotie ever
The only complaint I have with The Bo Kaap Kombuis is that we went for dinner and because it was dark we could not appreciate what must be an incredible view of Table Mountain and the City Bowl below it. Bo-Kaap is the oldest settlement of the South African Ma...

The Italian Kitchen in Tokai, sister restaurant to Jonkershuis and Societi bistro at its new home on Orange Street in Gardens, was fairly humming when we arrived on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Its nonassuming kerbside façade gives no real ind...

Posticino in Sea Point
Its official; I LOVE Posticino! It was the first restaurant I had dinner at when I moved to Cape Town nearly three years ago and although I am not a regular visitor (I live in the Southern Suburbs and Posticino is across town on the Atlantic Seaboard), whenev...
