  • O my Goodness Christmas Ideas

    I am the first to admit that I do not know a lot about gluten, wheat and sugar free, vegan, raw living, and if you have read my reviews before, you will have realise that I am not afraid of a little (read: lot) of oil, fat or general unhealthiness. O’ My Goodness, however, know […] More

  • Saul’s Grill Review

    Saul’s. It’s been around for years and never seems to stop growing. I came to Cape Town on holiday when I was 15, we went out somewhere in town, then ended up at Saul’s at 3am eating burgers and chips – pretty much welcomed me into the world of late night (tipsy) eating. Reminiscing the […] More

  • Cafe Manhattan Review

    It isn’t often that a restaurant seems to have the perfect amount of staff. They normally succumb to the following problems:  Too few: you wait 45 minutes to get your drink, “the” waiter is a sweaty, panicky mess and when your chicken arrives at your table, it’s beef. Too many: they stare at you from […] More

  • The Taj Expression Series at Mint

    The Boerie has legitimately landed!

  • NY Bagel Review

    My surname is Levitan. From this you may gather that I am Jewish. I have grown up on smoked salmon, gefilte fish, potato kugel, chicken soup, latkes and mon cake. So, when I was invited to try the new menu at New York Bagel, I was looking forward to enjoy a little bit of home. […] More

  • Monks Takeaway Review

    Sometimes you just don’t feel like going out. You want to sit on your couch, in your pyjamas, watch TV, and eat something divine. Say hello to Monks. Open all week, from 5pm – 10pm, this delivery-only Chinese restaurant is feeding hungry humans in the Cape Town City Bowl and surrounding areas. Not only is […] More

  • Veggie Buntch Supper Club Review

    “So Kayli, are you vegan or vegetarian?” asked someone, with their head resting on a toned arm, as they looked deeply into my eyes. I panicked and went blank. I looked around, worried that a raw-food loving, healthy goddess would jump up and shame me with her -12% body fat and long flowing, shiny hair. […] More

  • Joe’s Easy Diner Review

    Joe’s Easy Diner is the new kid on the block, after opening their first branch out in the new Blue Route Mall in Tokai. This restaurant has been completely decked out to look like an American-style diner – but somehow, it isn’t kitsch at all. The concept isn’t a new one as Joe’s is actually […] More

  • Van Ryn’s Distillery Food Pairing

    Up until recently, the extent of my brandy drinking was in Coke – and I loved it. But I’ve begun to realise that brandy has more to offer. And since the Van Ryn’s Distillery brandy and food pairing, I’ve found myself choosing to drink it, over a glass of wine. Every few months, Van Ryn’s […] More

  • Curry & Craft with F.east

    Tasting menus and food and drink pairings are one of the best ways try new things and learn about food. Pairings are often quite traditional, like French or Italian cuisine with wine. But F.East Indian restaurant on the corner of Bloem and Long Street have decided to do something a little bit different. This cute […] More

  • Harbour House at V and A Waterfront

    I’m a bit of a perfectionist. And with age, I’ve also become a tad OCD (surprise mom!) So although I’m not fussy in the slightest and very rarely send food back, I notice problems. They glare at me from the distance like little flashing lights that I can’t switch off, shouting my name and calling […] More
