Ever wonder what we eat when we’re not dining at the country’s top restaurants? The Eat Out editorial team never takes breaks from good food but, when it comes to the holidays, our palates tend to wind down with these treats and meals (and plenty of good wine).

Anelde’s wine-coloured holiday.

“No eating out for me at the moment. But there sure is lots of sauvignon blanc in the backyard at Betty’s Bay. Bliss!”

Katharine Jacobs, Online Editor

“Here we are eating ice cream from N2 Ice Cream Lab at our wedding! We had rum and raisin (with raisins soaked in actual rum), fresh strawberry, and Cadbury Crunchie flavours. It was insanely rich and creamy. I had at least three servings!”

“For the rest of the holiday I’ll be eating the leftovers of our insane cake from Meraki. It’s a carrot cake; a coconut cake; and a gluten-free almond-and-ricotta cake. All covered in a delectable cream cheese frosting!”

“I’m still at the office, but it’s not Eat Out without a few great drinks around. Here’s to non-alcoholic gin and tonic!”

“I will be eating my body weight in watermelon this summer. Nothing much beats a cool, crunchy slice right from the fridge.”

“With holidays around the corner but not yet quite in reach, ice cream is the solution. Thankfully for those of us in the Cape Town CBD, Unframed at the V&A Waterfront is just a short trip away.”

“Giulio’s being around the corner from Eat Out HQ is a constant blessing. Early-morning chai lattes are always welcome, as is a burger for lunch (with that incredible basil pesto).”
