  • Millhouse Kitchen

    Lourensford Road, Lourensford Wine Estate, Somerset West

    Such a beautiful restaurant and gorgeous grounds of the estate. Great for a trip out – maybe just for a glass of wine and a snack? (Mains very pricey and service needs sharpening.)

  • Chart Farm

    Klaasens Road, Wynberg, Cape Town

    A great spot for an afternoon with the family. The menu isn't anything out of the ordinary, but they do great milkshakes (the strawberry one has actual fruit in it) and the view is just gorgeous. The …

  • Haru

    92 Campground Road, Rondebosch, Cape Town

    A great little gem in the burbs! (Just avoid the school rush from neighbouring Rondebosch Boys if you can...) The main offerings are Japanese, so you can look forward to thick udon noodles in broth wi…

  • Solo

    Solo now does breakfast all day, so you can order bacon waffles and shakshuka in the afternoon. Good life choices. The wonderful new winter menu has a few more tempting slow-cooked and saucy offerings…

    I stopped for a quick bite and cuppa at this new café in its first week. The mushrooms on toast are creamy, truffly and delicious, with peppery spears of rocket balancing the richness, all arranged b…

  • The Company’s Garden Restaurant

    15 Queen Victoria Street, Cape Town

    This spot is so utterly lovely, surrounded by history and beautiful greenery, that it's hard to have a bad time here. But wow, the dish I had on Sunday really tested my resolve. Billed as a calamari s…

  • Clarke’s Bar and Dining Room

    133 Bree Street Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town

    I walked over on a rainy, cold Friday but once inside, all my chills faded away. Clarke's was like a hidden tropical paradise inside, with palm fronds and shorts-wearing waiters. It was jam packed ful…

  • Lunchworks

    22 Waterkant Street, Cape Town

    This charming little spot is easy to miss, but the food really hits the spot! Vegetarians have much to choose from, like the braised aubergines - with crispy batter on the outside - that had us in rap…

  • Tjing Tjing Torii

    165 Longmarket Street, Cape Town City Centre

    Three of us came for dinner on a surprisingly quiet Saturday night. The room is a bit dark and moody, making you feel slightly exposed, which is perhaps why it wasn't buzzing and full. The service was…

  • Plant Cafe

    8 Buiten Street Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town

    My husband and I popped into Plant one Saturday afternoon for a bite. It's one of his favourite places - there is so much choice than just the usual Greek salad, veg stir-fry or mushroom risotto that …
