  • Den Anker – The Perfect Food & Beer Pairing (Review)

    I’ll be honest; I’m not a huge beer fan. I usually opt for vodka or a lovely, fresh mojito.

Having […] More

  • Macau Asian Tavern Cape Town Review

    In a Nutshell: FOOD: I rolled outta there. We literally tried +-15 dishes. It was overwhelming, intimidating, and damn delicious. I’m a huge sharer and I love me some sauce, so the starters served with a range of homemade chillis hit the spot. The Thai Green Curry didn’t pack much of a flavour punch, but […] More

  • The Afternoon Tea of my Dreams with One&Only Cape Town

    Everything about One&Only Cape Town screams extravagance in lofty proportions and the Afternoon Tea experience is no exception.

  • A Trip down India Lane with The Taj Cape Town

    I have always boasted when I ate some curry and naan at our regular eatery, that I had Indian cuisine. It was not until I visited Taj Cape Town that I realised that I was way out of touch with what fine Indian cuisine really is. But before I tell you about the food, can […] More

  • Smashing it at RocoMamas at The Harrington

    Are you looking for a really good time? I’ve never been to RocoMamas until recently. Of course, I’ve seen their marketing on social media but they’ve always been quite aggressive with their communication style and that’s never really spoken to me. But when I joined RocoMamas at The Harrington last month, I was pleasantly surprised […] More

  • A sophisticated fine-dining Dinner at Grande Roche

    I don’t always start my reviews at the end, but in this instance, I will change the order up a bit as these small moments really show what Grande Roche in Paarl is all about. While enjoying our desserts, the elderly couple, who were sitting next to us were getting ready to leave.  Maybe in […] More

    Sometimes we get to enjoy some incredible experiences and we always let you guys know about it. But this one time, I wish I didn’t.

  • The Chef’s Table Menu at Dash Restaurant

    I’ve been to Dash once before enjoying a very memorable fine-dining experience a few years ago. With a new chef at the helm, we were excited to see how things have changed as the focus shifted from fine dining with many molecular elements to an approach based on elegance. The dishes maintain South African elements, but there […] More

  • Winter Set Menu Review at Cape Milner

    Every winter Cape Town becomes a little bit less outgoing and a little more housebound. We prefer to stay indoors, keeping warm and staying cozy in familiarity, but this need not be the case! Winter menus and special winter rates allow us to try out places during the colder months of the year, which we […] More
