  • Delicious Deliveries Review

    “Men think women dream about meeting the perfect man; but actually, we dream about eating whatever we want and not getting fat.” So true. Oh how I dream of lazing about, Bloody Mary in hand, while food is brought to me as I please. Such a wonderful world it would be. However I already have […] More

  • The Upper Eastside Hotel Organic Garden

    IF ANYONE HAS FOUND MY BALLS, PLEASE LEAVE THEM AT RECEPTION. THANKS. I wrote a funny intro but deleted it. It’s because I didn’t back myself. It was current, funny, it linked perfectly to what I was saying in this review, but couldn’t bring myself to say it. Why? Because I was scared it wasn’t […] More

  • Fraiche Food Cook Book

    A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to the ever popular Fraiche Ayres restaurants in Rosebank, Cape Town, for the launch of Fraiche Food – a cook book written by Pam & Kyle Miller. The restaurant is part of the Starke Ayres Garden Centre and I hadn’t been before, so I was very excited. […] More

  • Taste of Cape Town 2012 Review

    Where are all the drunks? “I feel like I am at a music festival. A music festival with great food. And clean people.” There have been a lot of people saying how expensive Taste of Cape Town (T0CT) was and to an extent I agree. Early-bird tickets cost R50 and those who bought later, R80. […] More

  • Cafe Paradiso Review

    I bought Café Paradiso! Yay! It’s mine! I am converting it back into a house and I shall live in it, very happily, for many years to come. That’s what I dreamt about after going there for dinner. From the moment I set foot in the restaurant I fell in love with it completely. The […] More

  • Spiro’s Hout Bay Review

    I wrote a long intro. I liked it. It made me giggle. But with the amount of food I am about to take you through, a long intro wouldn’t be appreciated. Spiro’s is an Authentic Greek restaurant in the heart of Hout Bay. Although I’m not normally one for travelling (originally from Durban, it’s engrained […] More

  • Sushibox Opening Review

    Everyone who has read my Aqua reviews (yes, I wrote two), knows how much I love Terry Zhou’s sushi. The restaurant itself may not have been run all that well, but you could never fault it on the quality, range and inventiveness of the sushi. But then Aqua closed down. The night I found out […] More

  • The Reserve Review

    Over the last few months, I read and heard about this club slash restaurant slash bar, which opened up in Cape Town, called “The Reserve”. I heard it was fancy. I heard it was pretentious. I heard that it was extravagant. I heard that only the rich and famous went there. I heard so much […] More

  • On a Roll Review

    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

  • Jackal and Hide Launch Review

    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

  • Keenwa Peruvian Restaurant Review

    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? Friend: Gosh, you are wise. To be honest, up until last week I pretty much knew ‘zilch’ about Peruvian food. I […] More

  • A Tavola Review

    In my last review I allowed a platter of starters to defeat me. I am ashamed. How I could have let this happen I’m not quite sure. Many people actually messaged me to say they were disappointed in my level of gluttony. I disappointed myself. I knew I had to up my game. What could […] More
