    Ocean Basket Kloof Street Review

    I was invited to the Ocean Basket branch on Kloof Street to review their new menu that has just been launched. And that is where this review will need to start. The menu doesn’t follow the usual ‘description-picture-price’ format you would expect to see when dining out. Instead, the emphasis is on showcasing Ocean Basket’s most […] More

  • Kloof Street House Review

    Kloof Street House – what a flipping lovely restaurant. Tucked away behind a high wall and lovely garden, you don’t feel like you’re sitting in the middle of town, but in someone’s beautiful home out in Constantia. Starters Steak tartar // R95 for 120g or R180 for 200g Kloof Street House don’t mess about with […] More

  • KGB UnWined Wine Appreciation Courses

    I have never been afraid to admit that I don’t know very much about wine. “That one is red and that one is white” and “I like this one because sipping it doesn’t make me squinch up my face like I have eaten lemon and/or tequila” are frequent descriptors of mine. So I decided to […] More

  • SecretEATS at The Office

    SecretEATS. The vibe is as follows: you apply to receive invites to dinners (I doubt anyone gets rejected though), then you get a mysterious email telling you a bit about something that’s coming up, then you pay, then on the day you get the details on where it is. This sorta thing normally freaks me […] More

    I’ve said it before, many of us who live in Cape Town forget to appreciate the beauty and diversity of our city. We forget that we can do touristy things, too. The Radisson Hotel has created a delicious, touristy dream in partnership with Tangent Charters, that us Rand-earners can afford. For just R495pp, enjoy a […] More

  • Namaste Chandani Review

    Growing up in Durban I have eaten a lot of Indian food. From restaurants to friends’ homes (where the food was always infinitely more delicious, I’m talking to you Sandhya and Yashmita) – I was spoilt for choice. The problem is, it has spoilt Indian food for me now, as nothing ever seems to beat […] More

  • Gourmet Boerie Review

    These days you can find a restaurant that will pretty much sell you gourmet anything. Sometimes it works. Other times, well, it’s a big, over the top flop. I was worried when I was invited to Gourmet Boerie. The restaurant is trendy and really well designed. And they always seem to have fun things happening […] More
