The perfect alternative to a Saturday morning breakfast: Oranjezicht City Farm Market (2. December 2023)
If you’re looking for an authentic and nice market experience on a Saturday morning as an alternative to your regular breakfast, the Oranjezicht City Farm Market is a good choice. Make sure you’re having a bit of time to spend there to stroll through the food options before deciding. I decided to have the “Chicken […]
An interesting concept, where cooking students can learn on a high level: Restaurant The Test Kitchen Fledgelings (1. December 2023)
The Test Kitchen Fledgelings was a recommendation of a friend, so I decided to give it a try and went for the “Tasting Menu” (950 ZAR), which started with “bread & paté spread”, which was quite lovely and promising. Only later, when meeting him, I realised that the concept of the place is really for […]
Definitely worth doing the Bo Kaap Discovery Walk to try the koeksisters: Bokaap Deli (1. December 2023)
When doing the “Free Walking Tour: Bo Kaap discovery walk”, the tour guide let the group into the “Bookap Deli” to show us the “koeksisters”, which I found quite a nice gesture. The koeksisters here were quite nice, but they were also quite different from the ones I had previously tried at Die Strandloper – […]
Lovely drinks, friendly service, and nice setting: OUIBAR + KTCHN @ Radisson RED (1. December 2023)
If you want to take a quick break before or after visiting the museum of African arts, then the OUIBAR + KTCHN at the Radisson RED (yes, red, not blu), is definitely a good place to do so. They offer decent drinks like the “Local is Lekker (the skinny-dipper with all the curves)” (180 ZAR), […]
Another great find for a delicious lunch, but in a too noisy environment: Restaurant Emazulwini (1. December 2023)
After a few days in and around Cape Town, I figured how positively surprised I am by the versatility and quality of the food scene in Cape Town. The Emazulwini is a nice little restaurant located in the food court area of a yet to be built mall, which offers great dishes around millet for lunch. […]
Decent breakfast experience with nice minced meat: Restaurant North Wharf @ Protea by Marriott Hotel Cape Town North Wharf (1. December 2023)
The breakfast selection at the North Wharf restaurant in the Protea by Marriott Hotel Cape Town North Wharf is quite okay. Sure, nothing exciting in terms of astounding, but it kind of offers everything you need and want for breakfast and their egg station actually doe a good job. My personal favourite – although not […]
An absolutely mind-blowing experience in No. 94 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant La Colombe Constantia (30. November 2023)
The La Colombe is one of the two restaurants in South Africa, which is among top 100 of The World’s 50 Best, currently rated at No. 94. The drive through Constantia is already quite nice and once you find the entry off the main road to the La Colombe, you realise why this place is […]
An absolutely delicious and down-to-earth honest seafood grill experience: Restaurant Die Strandloper (29. November 2023)
If you are up for a day’s drive to experience an authentic seafood experience by the sea, then you should definitely pay Die Strandloper in Langebaan a visit. The place is a bit remote and about a 90 minutes drive from Cape Town, but a drive worth undertaking. So, basically what you get here is […]
