  • Saigon Review

    There are many kinds of restaurant staff: The ones who hate their job and aren’t afraid to show it. The ones that try too hard and end up being creepy. The ones who let the “fame” of the restaurant get to them and look down on the customers. And the ones at Saigon. I hadn’t […] More

  • The La Mouette French Feast Review

    This review only needs to be 11 words long.  If I could eat at La Mouette every night, I would.  That’s it. Done. Bye.  Want more? Fine.  La Mouette keep mixing things up. They were one of the first restaurants to create an affordable tasting menu changes every month, they created the Twitterati party and […] More

  • Peddlars Power Lunch Review

    At school they tell you not to judge a book by it’s cover, but damn, it’s hard. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll eat anywhere. I’ll go to a restaurant no matter how dodgy, strange, small, illegal it may look and I will find something to eat. But every now and then, even I succumb to […] More

  • Junipa’s Review

    This is the last post in a series of Johannesburg Restaurant reviews…for now. List of things that I avoid: Pawpaw. Other people’s drooly pets. Maths. Children. It’s not that I don’t like children, I do. But the same way that most people don’t like sitting next to babies on planes, I typically don’t go to […] More

  • WangThai Sandton Review

    I’m that unlucky person at restaurants. I’m the one who orders rare and gets cremated, finds fingernails in the salad and once, I kid you not, a marble in my burger. There’s only one way that I’ll know my food is safe… Let me just cook it myself, thanks. As you all may know I’m […] More

  • Lekgotla Review

    I’m a Cape Town kinda gal. I like the laid back mentality, I like that I don’t need to drive for hours to get to where I want (except for Constantia, but who goes there?), I like The Mountain, the sea, the general prettiness. Joburg’s this elusive beast I tentatively visit for at most a […] More

  • The Greek Fisherman Review

    Cindy Crawford should have stuck to modelling. Britney Spears should have stayed away from the big screen. The Hoff should have… well, I don’t even know what to suggest… My point is that sometimes you should just stick with what you know. And that’s just how I felt about my final V&A Waterfront, “Master of […] More

  • Mykonos Taverna Greek Buffet

    Greece does have a few peculiar dishes. I can still remember a show on the Travel Channel where the presenter ate things like tripe soup, cow-lung soup and sea squirt. The things people do for money! I will rather stick to the more traditional Greek cuisine. Mykonos Taverna is situated on 343 Main Road in […] More

  • Reubens One&Only – Master of the Trade Routes

    To be completely honest, it’s not often that I eat a pie unless it is 3am or I’m incredibly hungover. Especially not a R90 one. But off to Reuben’s I went, to try out their fusion dish for the Waterfront’s “Master of the Trade Route Challenge”. Their task was to create a fusion dish, which […] More

  • Primi Piatti Waterfront Review

    “You will gain 20 to 30 pounds” and “No matter how great…there will come a day when it is just a job” were on a list of 25 things you should know before you become a restaurant critic as seen in the Washingtonian (Thanks Dax for sharing. I will put the link at the end). […] More

  • CinCin Review

    The other day I drove to the ends of the earth. I had to take my Passport with me. I needed a map. Padkos. I put petrol in my car and checked the tyre pressure.  Boy, Canal Walk is far away. I’ve lived I Cape Town for 6 years, but I’m still a Durbanite at […] More

  • Den Anker Review

    Last month, the V&A Waterfront approached us with a pretty awesome proposal. They asked us whether we were keen to join a panel of judges and rate fusion dishes that have been entered into the Master of the Trade Routes Culinary Challenge. After thinking about it for a few seconds, we said Yes! As a […] More
