By now you’ve probably heard about the HUGE Ministry of Sound New Years Eve party happening at the Convention Centre. Described as “15 hours of musical mayhem”, this event has 5 arenas showcasing top international and local DJs. Ministry of Sound doesn’t mess around, expect massive sound and mind blowing lighting to help you get [...]
You may have seen my recent post about the 5 beer festivals happening in Cape Town before the end of the end of the year. Well, the first couple are coming up at the end of this month and to kick things off I have a bunch of tickets to the all new Oktober Bierfest [...]
I’ve attended most of the wine festivals in and around Cape Town at some point, but I’ve never been to one of Caroline’s wine reviews. I’m not sure why I haven’t ever made a point of attending as I have heard really good reports on them. I met Caroline at her wine shop in town [...]
Have you seen what’s happening at the Good Food & Wine Show this year? It’s insane. You need to set aside a whole day to spend there. It starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday and it’s happening at the ICC again. To give you some idea of what’s in store for you… Have you [...]
So Taste of Cape Town 2011 starts today. It’s the fourth year for this festival and each year it’s very well attended. I’ve attended the previous ones (click here for my review of Taste of Cape Town 2010) and look forward to attending this one too. There are some great restaurants and chefs at the [...]
You may have read my review of Caffe Milano already. One of the things I didn’t mention was that Caffe Milano is one of the few places that uses Valrhona chocolate. It’s not a name that we are very familiar with in South Africa, but it’s internationally recognised as one of the top chocolates. Vanessa [...]
As usual, the Goldfish concert at Kirstenbosch this Sunday (6th March 2011, in case you’re reading this next year) was sold out within a short while of the remaining tickets going on sale. There is a reason for this, it’s always a great concert. Sadly this means that there are many disappointed people out there [...]
Polo is something I’ve normally only seen in movies, a game for the wealthy. I thought I was a fancy pants going to the Met or the Queen’s Plate but didn’t think I would progress from horse races to polo. Now I’ve been to polo matches a few times and it’s pretty cool. It’s actually [...]
SAB is running a cool competition/promotion to find the best pub lunch in Cape Town for under R50. They have 56 venues signed up to participate. The way it works is that you go to one of the participating pubs (the list of pubs is on the website) and you either check in with Foursquare [...]
Last year I was fortunate enough to attend the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. It was my first experience of the Queen’s Plate and it was fabulous. It was very different from the J&B Met and you can read my full review here. Every year the event gets bigger and better and this year is even more [...]
Madame Zingara has been a busy lady. She started with the Bombay Bicycle Club, then took over the Sidewalk Cafe, then Cafe Mozart and now finally, Cafe Paradiso. Nobody can deny Madame Zingara’s magic touch as every place she has taken over has gone from empty every night to full every night. Her latest project, [...]
On the 23rd of September, 2010, the first craft beer festival in Cape Town will take place at the Neighbourgoods Market in Salt River. There are only two types of people that should attend this event, those who drink beer and those who don’t. Beer drinkers need to attend so that they can be introduced [...]
One of the things I like about Capetonians is that they are quite active and enjoy the outdoors, whether that be spending a day at the beach, trail running, hiking, mountain biking, etc. However, Winter does reduce the options quite considerably and we sometimes find that come the end of winter we’re not quite in [...]
The Madame Zingara Theatre of Dreams is back! You can never believe all the rumours you hear, but I think most of us were not expecting to see her again. I, for one, am very pleased to see her return. I always believed the Tent of Dreams was an exciting addition to Cape Town. I [...]
The Good Food & Wine Show gets bigger and better every year and this year they have really ramped it up. Taking place at the ICC from the 13th to 16th May, you will be impressed at what you get for your money. I stole this list of highlights off their website: Chefs In Action [...]
