Think Gourmet. Royale & Hudson’s have been strong favourites in Cape Town offering gourmet burgers while SGT Pepper has been serving gourmet pizzas in Stellenbosch & on Long Street for a while now. But there is a new kid on the block. A normal hot dog with ketchup or mustard and a few onions isn’t […] More
The launch of Jackal & Hide last week, saw the who’s who of Cape Town come together to eat, drink and be merry. It was a night of class, elegan… Pffft, who am I kidding. I don’t write “who’s who”, I didn’t know most of the people there and I pretty much sat with my […] More
Me: I’m going to a Peruvian restaurant. Friend: Cool. What do Peruvians’ eat? Me: Uhhh… food. Friend: Ya, what food? Me: Food, food. It goes in their mouths. They eat it. You know, food?

Half-naked, in a restaurant, drinking tea. I am lying. Lying through my teeth. At no point was […] More
I love a bit of friendly competition and I love food. So combining the two can only be a good time. When my friend and I went to La Mouette the other night and each had one of their tasting menus, and created the “My Menu is Better than Yours” competition. Best competition ever. La […] More
When I started the “best sushi in Cape Town” poll on Facebook, I wasn’t expecting many votes…maybe around 100 – not much more than that! How wrong I was! It wasn’t even close – it was so much better. We started to the poll on Monday, the 21st of November, and captured the results on […] More
