The concept of a supper club isn’t a new one. Although still relatively small in South Africa, they’re huge overseas. Dine With Us South Africa is the new kid on the block, and they have brought an interesting edge to the market. They want you to get offline, meet and eat with the people you […] More
About 2 weeks ago I had an argument with someone on Twitter that went a little like this: I said a bowl of soup isn’t a satisfying meal, because I need a mixture of textures and consistencies to feel fulfilled. This person got very angry with me, started calling me names and insulting my intelligence. […] More
Winter is a special time for restaurant lovers in Cape Town. Literally. Almost every restaurant has specials. It’s fabulous. One such restaurant is Harbour House at the V&A Waterfront, which I actually reviewed this time last year. It just keeps getting better and better.

We have become very accustomed to half price sushi here in Cape Town. The problem is that very often half the price, comes with half the quality. Many people don’t even realise what high quality sushi tastes like, and while living in ignorance may be good on the pocket – once you know, it is […] More

They have joined forces with the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) and are donating R2 to cancer research for every litre of their Extra Virgin Olive Oil sold.

I’m always on my very best behaviour when I do reviews. But when dinner starts with an 11 “course” martini judging, things can get a little rowdy. I recently went to Pure Restaurant at the Hout Bay Manor for a martini judging and then dinner. Directly after the mammoth martini session, we were ushered from […] More
