In a city that goes through restaurants faster than I go through matching pairs of socks, I get no greater joy than seeing a success. I’ve followed the growth of Five Flies for the past three years, as new owner, Jo-Anne During and her restaurant, have gone from strength to strength. Not only has she…
“I’ve never wanted a pretentious restaurant,” says Chef Bertus Basson, “I want it to be somewhere where people are comfortable. Bring your kids. Wear slops and shorts. Have fun.” Overture is on Hidden Valley wine farm – a fitting name as I don’t think I’d find it again without directions, a GPS and a compass….
Last week I was invited to enjoy a one-night stay on Asara Wine Estate near Stellenbosch as part of the Klink Wine Awards which are currently being held. The awards let you vote for your favourite wineries in 15 short-listed categories. The Asara Wine Estate is nominated as having the best accommodation on a wine farm….
Southern Sun The Cullinan have recently re-launched their lazy Sunday lunches with an amazing buffet selection inspired by their executive chef, Lindsay Venn. I was invited to enjoy the buffet with a friend a few weeks ago. The Cullinan Sunday buffet takes place weekly from 12:30-14:30. Price per head is R185 and half price for children…
I’m going to write this review backwards. Why? Firstly, because I can. And secondly, because the dessert I had was worth talking about first. Let them eat cake. Zabad, just behind the Cape Quarter, serves a Bar One Cheesecake that is so delish it’s worth the calories. Perfect to share, this fridge cake (it isn’t…
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…
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….
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. Even at only R150 for two courses, and R170 for three,…
After one or two failed attempts at eating cooked oysters, I have frequently turned up my nose at anything but a fresh, plain, uncooked oyster. So when I was invited to dinner at Bentley’s Oyster Bar in Claremont, I knew it was going to be both a blessing and a curse. Hi, my name is…
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…
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…
Unless I am on holiday somewhere, hotels have always seemed felt like the place for tourists. They’re just not the first place that pops into mind when I am planning a dinner. And wrongly so. Come to think of it, we should visit hotels more often to keep them on their toes – tourists come…
