On the 25th of July I made a booking for the 20th of August to have lunch at Babylonstoren in the Cape Wine lands. For w-ends you would need to book 3 to 4 weeks in advance. I had never experienced this before in any restaurant in Cape Town or the wine lands. Expectations were [...]
What I love about my life as an entrepreneur is the fact that I’m allowed to be curious all the time. I never realized that I enjoy being ‘curious’ until I moved to South Africa and became a professional Tour Designer. I just LOOOOVE to walk into a place and ask if I ‘may have [...]
Doesn’t this look delicious? Some time ago I was supposed to have a morning meeting at Haas Coffee. Because I work from home it’s nice to have all my meetings outside and try new and interesting places. The person didn’t show up for the meeting but I still decided to order a flat white and [...]
Last week Saturday, 1 of those incredibly beautiful days that we seemed to be spoiled with this Cape Winter, we ended up having a late lunch at Salt at the Ambassador Hotel in Bantry Bay, Cape Town. I’ve had lunch here before and it was absolutely divine. This time we had a weird experience which [...]
Just a short and sweet blog about my breakfast experience last Saturday at Superette, about 500 meters down the road from the biscuit mill market in Woodstock. I felt like I was in Amsterdam again. That’s what the place looks like. All very relaxed and chilled, fresh produce and lots of artie designer details. I [...]
Yes, we have ANOTHER culinary highlight in Cape Town. It’s a bit tucked away in the Waterfront but once you have found it, I’m sure you want to keep coming back. Dash is situated in the 35-bedroom Queen Victoria Hotel, behind the Commodore Hotel. I made a booking for last Friday night at 7pm. I [...]
Yesterday was one of those days that you’re not really looking forward to. There would be no electricity in my building because of maintenance reasons so I decided to do all those queue-ing things that don’t make you happy: queue at the post office to re-direct mail because the Green Point post office is suddenly [...]
Not sure if this makes an interesting subject for a blog but hey, that’s up for you to decide. Today my building is without electricity because of maintenance. My car is in repairs as well. So this morning, after dropping off my car at the garage I first went to Café Neo in Mouille Point. [...]
It’s not often that one is impressed with nearly everything in a restaurant but yesterday we were. Wow!! What’s On Eatery, situated in a little side street between Bree & Loop Street certainly knows how to get things right. First of all the interior is beautiful without being too fancy, posh or over the top [...]
What a treat it was! Yesterday I went to La Mouette for lunch. Finally!! The place looks beautiful, the service was friendly and the food was delish. I should have only just ordered a starter but I couldn’t really help myself and had to order main course and desert too. Starter was still the best: [...]
Going up the long drive way is definitely impressive when you enter this spectacular wine estate. The WoW Factor is def there!! Check www.delaire.co.za for stunning pics. Somehow I forgot to take pictures of the estate, probably because I was in awe!! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with African arts and features a MASSIVE fire [...]
Just got back from dinner at Maze. Was on my list for quite some time. Had tried Nobu already last year which was outstanding and now me and my friend, Paul, from Holland ended up in the One&Only before he had to get back onto the plane to Hollland. I must say, when walking into [...]
Finally I made it to this stunning place that has been on my to-do list for at least the last year. It’s not a place to go to if you a last-minute weekend-planner because it’s fully booked all the time. So I was pleasantly surprised when I phoned last Monday and managed to get in [...]
11 December 2009 Carne Restaurant in Keerom Street, CBD, Cape Town. WoW!! For the REAL carnivore what a treat! Everything was perfect, venue, menu, waiter (we love you Mike, we do!), except…..1 little thing, the seats of the chairs were quite small. Now, well, I’m not exactly a size petite but I think more people [...]
One of the beautiful perks of having a travel company, is being invited by all these wonderful establishments to come and stay when you give them guests. Because I made a big booking for during the World Cup at Constantia Uitsig I was invited to come and stay last week for dinner, bed & breakfast. [...]
Only opened a few months ago so it was time to go and have a bite to eat to check it out. Reading on the web I found different reviews, from fantastic to horrible so let’s see what we have to say. I like going to places that are not so obvious. So to go [...]
