As we head into winter and Capetonians prepare for hibernation, the Cape Town Events scene simultaneously quietens down a little. There are a couple of foodie events happening this month, but my favourite things to do in Cape Town for June are mostly on the arty side of life. Also, I’ve included the Hermanus FynArts Festival because …

Wilhelm Saayman Exhibition Opening at the Erdmann Contemporary Gallery Last night I was invited to attend the opening night of Wilhelm Saayman’s exhibition at the Erdmann Contemporary Gallery. It was interesting to meet the artist himself and learn more about what inspires him and some of the ideas and emotion behind his work. I’ve included …

Tantalising Desserts For many people, dessert is the best part about dining out. While you may be satisfied with a bowl of ice cream at home, chefs can create masterpieces in the kitchen; desserts that you’ve never even dreamed of. Whether you’re a bit adventurous and like to try any new creations or are simply …

OK, dear readers. I admit it, I’ve been holding out on you. There are whispers of unbelievably good deals in Cape Town when it comes to restaurants, rumours of meals that cost R20 while every foodie and his neighbour are extolling the virtues of the fancy five course winter specials. I’ve done that – and …

A couple of months ago I did a post highlighting some of the best places to find restaurant specials in Cape Town – but with the onset of winter Cape Town restaurants have really upped their game and there are some really great options at affordable prices if you are willing to put in a …

A Disappointing Start to this Cape Town Restaurant’s Winter Specials Last winter you would have been hard-pressed to find a more ardent Andiamo supporter, it was my favourite of the Italian restaurants in Cape Town.
