  • The White Room Review

    Don’t read this review. Instead you should just call Dear Me Food World and book a table for their White Room on Thursday night. Ok? Great. Bye. The White Room, open every Thursday night, can hold up to 24 people. Each dish on the menu is an experience. On the centre of each table is […] More

  • Jackal & Hide Review

    As much as you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, a lot of us do and sometimes you miss out on something great. Funnily enough, restaurants do it too. You think they’re a certain kind of cuisine, but are really completely different – like Jackal and Hide – while it looks like a bar […] More

  • Wakame Review

    A restaurant with a view is always hot-property, and in Cape Town (when the summer sun stays up through your entire dinner) we have so many views to choose from. One of my favourites is the view from Wakame in Mouille Point –I love the sea, but I hate sand – so Wakame is a […] More

  • Uitkyk Farm Review

    I don’t get out enough. I mean, I live in Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world and I spend far too much time indoors. So, I aim to spend more time doing interesting things outside (SUGGESTIONS WELCOME) – the first of which was a tour and picnic at Uitkyk Farm. […] More

  • 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 Taj Cape Town has been bringing the winelands into the heart of the city showcasing a different area through their food and wine. Each month, a top chef from a chosen wine region in South Africa was invited to present a four-course dinner paired to local wines from estates in the specific area. The […] More

  • Gourmet Boerie Launch

    The Boerie has legitimately landed! Leading on from the opening of Gourmet Boerie’s doors to the Cape Town public earlier this month, last week saw the official launch event take place for local media, celeb’s, family and friends. Throughout the evening, guests were served scrumptious samples of the different boerewors and desserts offered at Gourme […] More

  • 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
