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!
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 [...]

“Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.” – Charles Dickens The Hussar Grill makes me want to be a portly 19th century writer; a Dickensian type complete with waistcoat and braces holding up corduroy pants, penning a novel by the fireplace. Entering this legendary grill room [...]

A snail gets mugged by a tortoise. The snail goes to the police station to report the crime. “What happened?” says the officer on duty. “I don’t know”, replies the snail – “it all happened so fast.” So much potential, so much charm, but undoubtedly the slowest service in town. How many chances do you [...]

Eat Out is the definitive Top 10 for South Africa restaurants and this year Bosman’s at the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl made it to fourth spot. And so it was with glee that we checked in for 4 days of absolute indulgence. Unfortunately you cannot eat at Bosman’s twice a day for the simple [...]

This is my first Horny Grazer review. Up until this post the Horny Grazer has been a one man gastronomic mission – guided by his taste-buds in search of the perfect plate. But he’s starting to bear the fruits of his labours around the midriff and we’re a little worried about his health. So in [...]

“The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question ‘How can we eat?’ the second by the question ‘Why do we eat?’ and the third [...]

Chesney Hawke’s lyrics are the first thing that enter my head whenever I walk through the doors at the One&Only. It’s empowering. The Horny Grazy – nobody I’d rather be. This time I was visiting Reuben’s, which recently replaced Gordon Ramsay’s Maze restaurant. A stalwart of Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands, this is chef Reuben [...]

“Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch.” Rudyard Kipling The twelfth best restaurant in the world. You can imagine the bristling excitement of the Horny Grazer. La Colombe is on the Constantia Uitsig wine estate in (perhaps unsurprisingly) Constantia. Constantia for all you non-Capetonians, is in the Southern suburbs of Cape Town [...]
