Vuur: Fire and Steak are the stars of the show here
It's such an exciting concept that feels really unique and raw in the best way. The steak is superb. Overall, the food, while great, has some fine-tuning needed to make it feel more like a cohesive experience.
Our Local: Schucks this was a good Shakshouka
Super delicious & aesthetic - I felt like I was living my life in my 20s the right way, having it together due solely to the fact that I was having brunch at this Kloof street spot.
Bao Down: Fusion, American-Asian style dishes.
Vital to have a crispy drink in hand while enjoying their decadent and rich Baos. However, does it live up to the hype?
Dinner date @ Zest: Really good tasting menu. And very reasonably priced.
Slightly bare reviews when it’s a dinner date… I’m busy being fascinating and making glorious conversations (featuring very blurry photos). *Hinge/Tinder/Bumble sponsorship pending
Dinner date @ Yu: Hotely-y but adequate
This is a very bare review as it was a date (; so treat it as a skim read (because typically everyone reads all my reviews in great detail - shout out to my mum and dad!)
South China Dim Sum: Most authentic & addictive dim-sum
I feel trendy and metropolitan and Asian in this hole in the wall casual but authentic Dim Sum restaurant.
Kleinsky’s Delicatessen: Best bagels in Seapoint
An authentic New York style deli that makes me want to marry into a Jewish family.
Bistro1682 @ Steenberg: Tapas
A quick nibble on Potstickers, Bao buns and Patatas Bravas
Il Leone: I had a late night pasta snack
Satisfying & saucy.
Bouchon Bistro: Fresh, yummy & rich food that feels just-a-bit boujie.
Cozy and intimate, with a wine-y feel. This wine bar and bistro is a must if you enjoy a cellar setting with a focus on both the wine and food.
Thali: Transported to balmy India for an evening
Aromatic, hot, spicy deliciousness that makes you want to come back while you’re eating there.
Obi: Sushi and Soba. I’m Obi-sessed.
Incredible sushi and noodle dishes made with super fresh fish and filling your mouth and brain with umami.
Dahlia on Regent: Noodles inspired by China's Shaanxi Province
A place to love. I could feel the passion of the place, the staff were friendly and every customer inside seemed very satisfied with their meals and overall experiences.
Foxcroft: Delicious & high quality food
One of my favorite accessible fine dining experiences in the Southern Suburbs.
La Parada Waterfront: “I was in a snobby mood”
A place you go to for the view or the vibes or if your friends have organized something here. But definitely not for the food.
Quentin at Oakhurst: Feels like a Cape Town throwback.
A rustic, cozy restaurant in Hout Bay that feels like Cape Town restaurants used to feel in the 2000s.
Live Bait Kalk Bay: It was a quickie, and thank goodness for that
Just so disappointing with only a few redeeming factors
