Chef Peter Tempelhoff wins Grand Chef title
If you haven’t eaten at the Greenhouse lately, you should. Chef Peter Tempelhoff has risen to the ranks of Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux Jr and Heston Blumenthal since grabbing a prestigious title in Lisbon.
Sababa Kitchen & Deli
The newest addition to the Bree Street strip is Middle Eastern kitchen and deli, Sababa. I popped in there last week – and it’s fab.
Foodbarn Deli now open for night-time tapas
Finally another night-time eatery to add to the growing gastronomic destination that is the deep south – ahem – Noordhoek.
The Restaurant at Waterkloof Estate, Somerset West

With foreigners dictating crazy prices in summer, now is the time for us locals to eat some of the best food the Cape has to offer – at half the cost. Take advantage, is what I say!
What Heston ate at The Common Room
I was lucky enough to bump into Heston Blumenthal recently – at The Common Room in Franschhoek. After my chance encounter I made two conclusions: (a) The Common Room is most certainly not for commoners, and (b) if he chose to eat here rather than at The Tasting Room, surely we should be paying more attention to Le Quartiers’ latest addition.
