Local neighbourhood favourite. Their Christina pizza is the best option in CT!

Been going to Carlyle's for a few years now and it amazes me how consistently excellent they are - the food is always great, as is the service. Plus, if you're in the know, their monthly wine club night is fantastic. Every month, they get a winemaker to talk you through a number of his/her wines, which you get to taste, of course, and then buy at cellar-door prices (sometimes less than at the cellar door). Last night it was Meerlust's turn - we got an education while having the most fun. The Carlyle brothers have a recipe that works, and works, and works. PS. Get on their mailing list to get in the know. PPS. If you've never had their beef trinchado hot pot, you haven't lived.

Carlyle's is a great place to meet up with friends and have some great pizzas. The staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is always fantastic. Nice and cozy place to spend cold winter nights.

Love the butternut and blue cheese pizza, yum!

This friendly neighborhood Italian restaurant is as dependable as summer wind in the Cape Town suburb of Vredehoek, where it is based. With good, basic food served at reasonable prices it is no surprise that this cozy restaurant is often fully booked. Try the spicy chicken liver starter, the Carlyle salad with roasted vegetables and pine nuts or my favourite, the wild mushroom capeletti. For the indecisive, they also allow half-and-half of their thin-based pizza. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
