Happy Sunday's

Almost every Sunday for the past 2 years my husband and I have gone to Licorice and Lime for brunch.

It is one of may favourite places in Cape Town - great service, fantastic coffee, fresh food, affordable prices and lovely atmosphere. Who could ask for more!

Watch this space for Licorice and Lime ''2'' opening soon in town......

Monday - Sunday for breakfast, brunch ;) and lunch
162 Kloof Street, Higgovale (across the road from Baccini's and next door to Bombay Bicycle Club)

Enjoy!

A winery with a twist

A winery was recently recommended to visit for tastings and possibly sharing a bottle of wine or two with friends.....

Consequently, the following week whilst reading a local home and interiors magazine, as article appeared before me - wonderful images of an 1800's farm and winery that had been renovated tastefully with a modern red and white theme and I realised that this was the winery that had been recommended.

So whilst we had some visitors here from Australia and England, we decided that this one was going to be included on our winery tour on the Sunday.......

It was our last stop on our tour and it turned out to be the perfect way to end the day!

We started with a tasting (R40 per person) which included 6 wines.

Even though it was nearing the end of the day, the friendly staff were more than happy for us to order a few cheese plates, enjoy a bottle of wine and watch the sun go down.

I can definitely recommend the Sauvignon Blanc 2008 - very light and some might say, too easy to drink ;)

The Grand - Granger Bay

This little gem is no longer a secret in Cape Town.....

Last November and December I watched on as a run down warehouse at Granger Bay was transformed to The Grand at Granger Bay.

The Grand has become a a popular ''franchise'' with venues in Plettenberg Bay, Camps Bay and Granger Bay each with its own unique theme but keeping within the Grand brand.

Granger Bay is fantastic for afternoon drinks and sun downers on the sand.

To eat, I can recommend the pizzas and the sugar salmon :)

Tip......bookings essential!
