Another great venue just a hop, skip and a jump over the mountain from home. Bubbly and oysters, anyone? Yes, please.

Vergelegen Estate’s new Stables Bistro
Vergelegen Estate holds a special place in my heart, so it’s great to see a fab new bistro on the property as well as the promise of a top-class fine-dining establishment opening its doors towards October.
Cape Point Vineyards picnics, Noordhoek
Without a doubt. The very best site in the world – for sundowners, a picnic or private function. If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favour…
New Restaurants in (and around) Cape Town
We’re spoilt for choice with so many new restaurants having opened in the Cape in the last two months. This is where I will be – and have been – eating out in 2012.
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.
Caffe Milano: New pastry chef

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.
Skinny Legs & All Luxury Café
The latest addition to the café scene on Loop Street was inspired by Rose Bakery and restaurant in Paris. It’s quirky, clean, contemporary and oh so stylish. I went there for my weekly ‘town’ fix and loved it.
