Jave Cafe in Church Street is such an institution that I walk past it constantly and almost don’t notice it anymore, and therefore never really consider eating there! Continue reading
96 Winery Road has been going for 19 years and I can still remember when it was a new and very popular restaurant in the Winelands. They may not be a new player on the restaurant scene anymore, but they are still very popular! Continue reading
Last night we finally managed to dine at Guardian Peak, after trying unsuccessfully a couple of times before (once my fault, once their fault).

Actually, to be honest, I probably haven’t been there in the last 10-15 years, but I remember it well from those days for always doing good food and being very popular.
