  • Review: The Sevruga Winter Tasting Menu

    I’ve always been a big fan of Sevruga so when they came calling for us to review their new winter tasting menu, I couldn’t refuse. I’ve only ever been to the restaurant during the summer either for lunch (review) or to take advantage of their incredible sushi specials. But there is always a first time […] More

  • Beluga Cape Town Winter Set Menu Special

    Beluga is across the road from my office. It’s so convenient, it’s actually inconvenient, because I just can’t stop myself from heading over for their half-price sushi lunch, sit down or takeaway. But ever since we were invited to review this RIDICULOUSLY affordable set menu, I’ve found Beluga’ing for dinner too. On their normal menu, […] More

  • Craft Burger Bar Review

    How well do you handle pressure? Craft Burger Bar is a trendy little restaurant on 82 Regent Street in Sea Point. We joined them for dinner on a Friday evening, with the restaurant in full swing and hardly an empty table to be seen – a sign of good things to come. The restaurant has […] More

  • Classic Winter Menu at The Mount Nelson

    Look at how much The Mount Nelson cares about whether you think their food is old fashioned:   That’s not a lot of care. Why? Because they know what they’re doing and they’re good at it. Plus, they do serve all the modern bits and bobs that diners could be looking for, both at Oasis […] More

    I’m not a big fan of toursity things. I often find that whatever it is has been simplified and flavoured-down to please them foreign palates and generally, it’s a big, fat rip-off for South Africans. So when we were invited  to try the Set Menu at Gold Restaurant, I won’t lie – I wasn’t thrilled. But […] More

  • Meals Direct Review and Competition

    A lot of foodie companies are very same same. They do the same thing under a different name, at a relatively similar price. And they normally don’t last long. So, when I heard about ANOTHER meal delivery company that popped up in cape Town, called Meals Direct, I wasn’t too excited. BUT I WAS WRONG! Meals […] More

  • Arnold’s on Kloof with The Entertainer

    I haven’t been to Arnold’s on Kloof in years. Years and years and years. And everytime I have been, I’ve only ever had a (hungover) breakfast. So, I have never thought of it as anything more than a (hungover) breakfast joint for students. But, and I am happy to admit it, I was wrong. Thanks […] More
