Makaron Restaurant at Majeka House in Stellenbosch

Makaron Restaurant

Floating on the heady prospect of a two week holiday, Daisy (my emasculated Jeep), Mark (my emasculated friend who kindly agreed to accompany me for the night) and I set off with the sort of vim that only a road trip to the Cape Winelands can muster. It’s important to plan any trip to the [...]

French Toast Wine & Tapas Bar

Cape Town Restaurants

I drink champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty. ~ Madame Lilly Bollinger South Africans do [...]

Galbi: A one-of-a-kind Horny Grazer experience

galbi2 copy

One of our lovely colleagues and a dear friend of mine celebrated her 30th birthday recently and I was fortunate enough to snag an invite to the celebrations! I’m ashamed to say I did not check the invite clearly or I would have known what the evening had in store. The first line read “bubbly & canapés at Mannabay”, and I read no further; I was already sold! Whatever else happened after that was simply icing on an already gorgeous cake.

The Horny Grazer reviews: Van Hunks

Van Hunks

Van Hunks is the name of a local legend in Cape Town who had a smoking contest with the devil. He lost. But legend has it that the cloud of tobacco smoke the two left formed the “table-cloth” – the famous white cloud that spills over Table Mountain when the south-easter wind blows in summer. It is said that when that happens, Van Hunks and the Devil are at it again.

What’s On Eatery – A Horny Grazer Review

Whats On Eatery - Cape Town

“The belly rules the mind.“  ~Spanish Proverb What’s on at the What’s on Eatery?! When my friend first mentioned the name I thought he was saying “What’s on the tree?” in pigeon Zulu. Why was my friend banging on about this place? Was it a Christmas shop selling African baubles? In which case, er, no [...]

Brad’s Grill – Great Steakhouse

The best steak in town!

I do mean it when I say, this was the best steak I have ever had. I cant recall having a better steak anywhere. It even beats the one I had at 1800 in Greenpoint. It’s no wonder that Brad’s Grill in Claremont has people coming back again and again for its carnivorous offerings.

Women’s Day: Lunch with the girls

Tasha's restaurant

Three women and a fat bastard … Yesterday was Women’s Day. A public holiday happily enjoyed bossing around the male folk and doing whatever the flip we like. Like a slow ‘n steamy sauna session at the gym, an afternoon shopping binge (the bill came to nearly R3000), flipping through brain-numbing magazines in the sun, [...]

Salt Restaurant: A review

There's a varied menu of wines to suit any taste

Worth its salt “At sea a fellow comes out. Salt water is like wine, in that respect” – Herman Melville One of my favourite dining spots in Cape Town is without a doubt the Salt Restaurant, on the coast in Bantry Bay. It’s expensive; so you know there shouldn’t be any, you know, slip-slop riff-raff. [...]

The Woodlands Eatery

The Woodlands Eatery in Cape Town a Horny grazer Review

Among the delights of summer, picnics to the woods. – George Brandes Emily Moon River Lodge in Plettenberg Bay is one of Rhino Africa’s favourite hotels on South Africa’s Garden Route, totally worth the visit. Recently a little piece of Emily Moon made its way to Cape Town and now, if you’re in the city, [...]

The Kove, Camps Bay

Enjoy a steak at The Kove grillroom

I had never dined in Camps Bay before. It’s a strange but true phenomenon… I’ve lived in Cape Town for 24 years and had never sat at a table in Camps Bay and eaten a meal. Sure, I’d bought a pie at the Pick ‘n Pay and sat on a bench by the beach munching [...]

The Brasserie at Vaudeville – A Horny Grazer Restaurant Review

The Brasserie at Vaudeville a Restaurant Review

I have never seen a woman play an electric violin whilst hanging upside down from the ceiling. That was of course until I spent an evening at The Brasserie, one of Cape Town’s latest and most fashionable restaurants. Dinner and performance are nothing new in Cape Town; Madame Zingara’s touched down first followed closely by [...]

Dine for less this winter – Winter Restaurant Specials

But there’s no reason to settle for soup this season… Fight the winter blues and get out with these new winter restaurant specials across South [...]
