We’re always on the lookout for Cape Town’s best restaurants. The ‘Horny Grazer’ is our anonymous restaurant reviewer. Read his brutally honest reviews on the Rhino Africa Blog which should help you sort through the multitude of Cape Town restaurants!
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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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.

“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 [...]

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.

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, [...]

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. [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Winter Restaurant Specials It’s clear that winter is here. We can tell by the tissues piling up in our office and the mass of Cup-a-Soup boxes filling the recycling bin. 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 [...]
