Saturday morning is Biscuit Mill time for many a Capetonian. A leisurely traipse down the aisles of the Neighbourgoods market reveals all sorts of deliciousness & temptations…these are a few of my favourite things. (didn’t a certain Miss Julie Andrews say that? Hashtag Sound of Music) ….I begin traditionally with …

Bastille Day in Franschhoek…
by capetowndiva
A belated Happy Bastille Day mes amis! Where better to celebrate this historical French moment than in Franschhoek, a must- visit village about 75 kms (50 minutes) from Cape Town. Founded in 1688, it’s one of the oldest towns in the Republic & a fave destination of ours. This weekend …
The Dogs Bollocks, Cape Town’s burger joint in Roodehek Street, Gardens, where the burgers are famously fabulous & the size of a small tortoise, the way I see it. Head into Roodehek Street (off Buitenkant), look for the parked white 70’s Lotus & hang a left (on foot) into the …
Harbour House Waterfront & Kalk Bay offer fabulous specials on their Winter menu, running from May to October annually. The menu changes monthly & is a steal at R150 for two courses & R170 for three, excluding drinks (have a look at the full menu on www.harourhouse.co.za). Last week I …

At my new fave chill spot, Luvey N Rose in Rose Street, Bokaap, there can be found a delectable shortbread that is made by an unheralded master baker, Gordon Radowsky. I’ve known Gordon pretty much forever…way back from my ballerina days when he used to watch many of my performances …
Today I discovered a fabulous coffee shoppe – come- art salon in one of the City’s oldest areas, the Bokaap. As owner Ignatius Claassen explains, ‘Luvey ‘ N Rose is an art salon (and sometimes saloon…) that just happens to sell coffee, tea etc and hopefully artisan beers + good …
