  • Andiamo Cape Quarter Review

    When I turned 14 I decided that from that day forward, I wouldn’t even look at a carb after 5pm because this new diet would miraculously make me skinny. I was so dedicated to this new eating regimen that for a good 7 years I stuck to it. Until I found Andiamo. Andiamo is a […] More

  • Xiang Yuan Review

    A friend and I were walking down the road and the conversation went as follows: Me: Lets just walk until we find somewhere interesting to eat. Friend: Ok. What do you feel like? I don’t feel like Asian food. Me: Me neither, lets find a pub. Then all of a sudden we saw the following […] More

  • The Kitchen Review

    Woodstock has quite a bad rep. Yeah, I wouldn’t want my car to break down there late at night, while my Blackberry flashes that awkward orange colour and tells me that “the battery is too low for radio use” (in other words, its dead) but really, during the day, it’s great. Art galleries, furniture boutiques, […] More

  • Panchos Review

    I took a quick trip to Mexico last week and I loved it. Not really, I’m just joking – but Panchos in Observatory is close enough! I learned three important lessons that evening: All the menu items seem to be very similar. It reminded me of a stand-up routine by Jim Gaffigan where he claims that […] More

  • Top of the Ritz Restaurant Review

    As a kid, nothing got me quite like a gimmick. Little dolls whose nappies went blue or pink when you bathed them to determine gender, lollypops with a whistle at the bottom and shoes with lights in them! Now that I am slightly more grown up its pens with torches at the top, laptops which […] More

  • Fugu Review

    The last time I won anything, I was 12 years old and my prize was 6 tickets to the circus. I thought I was the shizznizz. Since then I haven’t been the luckiest individual (although I insist that one day I will win the lotto) until the other day, when I followed @FuguRestaurant on Twitter […] More

  • Headquarters HQ Review

    I once went to a restaurant which advertised itself as a Mediterranian-European-Asian-fusion-style-restaurant-with-an-American-and-South-African-undertone. There were so many choices on the 26 page menu that I promptly picked myself up and left. I am not a great fan of enormous variety on a menu because it spreads the kitchen to thin. Whether it is that the chefs […] More

  • Beefcakes Review

    I’ve been to Beefcakes twice and on both occasions I have two feelings which stick out above all others. 1. Happy and 2. Drunk. Beefcakes, is a 50’s style burger bar found in the heart of Greenpoint. Pretty much everything is pink or white, including the decorative flamingos, piano and glitter balls. There’s a stage […] More

  • Sevruga Waterfront Review

    Who would have thought that slapping together a chunk of raw fish, a clump of sticky rice, a slice of avo and dried seaweed could taste so amazingly good? It’s like cows’ milk, how did the person who realised that it was drinkable, explain the discovery to their friends? I love sushi. It makes me […] More

  • Kuzina Cape Quarter Review

    Do you know that person that gets drunk really quickly and gets louder and louder as the night goes on? It gets funnier when that same person ordered a souvlaki/kebab with about 5 small pieces of meat for more than 70 bucks and feels the need to complain to us while he thinks that no […] More

  • Royale Eatery Review

    I’m crying the worlds’ largest tears. Imagine the Oros man had his Oros taken away, imagine his tears, but not orange – that how big my tears are. I went to Royale in Long Street the other night for what I was told was going to be the burger experience of my life. Pffft. I began […] More

  • Eastern Food Bazaar Review

    I’m always hungry. I’m not lying here, if it weren’t true that I would end up looking like an overweight T-rex, I would eat continuously for every waking hour. However, I’m a student and therefore don’t have huge amounts of cash dollar to burn. So when I first encountered the ever so affordable, Eastern Food […] More
