Tasting menu at DW11-13

August 20, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 0 Comments

I always say that when it comes to fine dining, we’re really restricted in Jozi. A lot of the 5 star hotels try to produce gourmet menus, but the food really isn’t up to scratch. The only fine dining restaurants I’d recommend are the ones on my restaurant directory. DW11-13 is the only spot on that […]

The Best Macarons Outside of Paris*

August 19, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

Admittedly, bloggers get lots of perks. Invites to fab events, press trips, and cool drops from PR companies are just some of them, but my favourite perk, which adds real value and happiness to my everyday life- are the foodie perks. I LOVE trying out new restaurants for the Sunday Independent, and I would definitely […]

Get out of the city and feast on a farm*

August 6, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

I love exploring Jozi, especially areas that are off the beaten track. Attending a Down to Earth Farm Feast has been on my to do list forever, and I finally got down to it a few weeks ago. The idea was created by 2 BFFs, Dany and Danielle, and was based on a similar concept which […]

Fourways Farmers’ Market is really cool, especially considering it’s in Fourways…

August 5, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 10 Comments

Although some areas of Jozi are really quirky and lovely, like Braamfontein, Parkhurst and Greenside, there are other areas which I try to avoid at all costs.  These include Edenvale, Roodepoort and… Fourways. I’ve made no secret of my distaste towards Montecasino, there is ALWAYS traffic going into Fourways, even on weekends, the suburb is […]

David Higgs’ Five Hundred at the Saxon*

July 31, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • 0 Comments

The Saxon has always been my venue of choice whenever I want to be wow’d. The level of opulence and attention to detail never fails to amaze me, and even if you’re just going for a drink on the terrace, you’ll be treated exactly the same as if you’re spending the week there. Jozi’s newest fine […]

Jozi’s coziest coffee shop: Daleah’s in Braamfontein

May 23, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

Some time ago, I was researching a story for the Sunday Independent called “A walk through Braamfontein”. It’s actually just been published on IOL so you can read it here. There’s always a bit of a lag with these posts cos I have to wait for them to be published in the newspaper before I […]

Piza e Vino: 2 can dine with pizza and wine for R99*

May 20, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 1 Comment

Piza e Vino is one of those trusty, reliable restaurants where you can always be assured of a great meal. To be honest, I actually don’t visit these types of restaurants often because I always want to try something new, and I hate getting stuck in a routine where I visit the same places over […]

Some time ago, I went to a media lunch at BiCE Ristorante in Southern Sun Hyde Park. Alot of other foodies were present, and I got to meet with my sweet friend Milla from House and Leisure Mag, as well as with Thando from Jozi Foodie Fix. Did you know that the BiCE Ristorante Group […]

Quirky, quaint dining at The Leopard in Melville (and the best bread you’ll ever taste)

May 13, 2013 by • Food • Tags: • 0 Comments

I discovered the cutest little dinner spot last week. Some of you may know the Leopard from Parkhurst, but they’ve relocated recently to Melville.We went when it was pretty quiet, at around 6pm on a weekday, and I was intrigued by the decor. It felt as though I was in someone’s granny’s home. Old pictures on the wall, antique […]

Upmarket Italian Dining at Amacorde in Illovo*

Remember Assaggi? That I(talian restaurant in the Post Office Centre that everyone loved? Buzz about them went quiet for a while, and then they had a Groupon… and I knew they were doomed from that point on. Good, thriving restaurants just don’t go on Groupon. Anyway, turns out the chef from Assaggi actually left and started […]

Contemporary Asian Cuisine with a twist at Gwe Fey in Sandton*

A few weeks ago, I visited Midori Eco Salon in Sandton for a hair makeover and a QMS facial. Just across from Midori, I couldn’t help but notice a stunning restaurant, with panoramic glass windows and gorgeous decor. I had heard about Gwe Fey on Twitter before, but didn’t realise that it was located in […]
