Relax with Dax

I haven’t eaten at Manna for a while, not because it’s not good, just that there are so many places to try. On the 1st of Jan, many restaurants were closed but Manna was open so I had breakfast there and was glad I did. I had forgotten how good it is. It’s definitely the [...]

I popped into The Loading Bay for breakfast today. I’ve been there for drinks before but not had the opportunity to test their food. I was a little apprehensive as the (blackboard) menu does not have prices on and when I was there for drinks before I was assaulted with a charge of R46 for [...]

I received a text from a friend recently telling me that Queen of Tarts needed to be my next stop on my Breakfast Hunt as she had just had an amazing breakfast there. I’m not often around Observatory for breakfast but seeing as I was keen to check out the Obz Festival, I made plans [...]

I’ve found the new no. 1 spot for breakfast. Cafe Sofia is running a breakfast special which is a super deal. At R20 for an english breakfast and coffee, it makes Beleza look expensive. The alternative is the 3 egg omlette with feta, chorizo and peppers for R25 including coffee. We went to the Cafe [...]

I mentioned in the September newsletter that Jardine Restaurant had opened a bakery. I don’t often get a chance to try places in town which are only open in the week as I don’t work in town. However this week I had to get my passports renewed (Home Affairs wasn’t as bad as one might expect), so [...]

I’m not sure what categories to post this under, so I’ve put it under a few. The primary one is breakfast hunt because I’m finding that the organic market is a great place to go for breakfast on a Saturday morning. But it’s also an option for lunch so I’ve put it under restaurants. In [...]

I’ve been neglecting my Breakfast Hunt for a while. I’ve pretty much settled on two options for the moment, either R10 breakfast at Beleza or breakfast at the Neighbourgoods Market. However, a short notice breakfast appointment for 8am on Saturday morning forced me to try something new (Beleza & the market only open at 9). [...]

The crown for best value breakfast in Cape Town has changed heads. You may remember Arnold’s in Kloof St. first wore the crown for their R14 (was R12) breakfast. Mugg & Bean stole it from them for their R16 ‘On the Go’ breakfast which, while being R2 more and minus a sausage, was tastier and came [...]

I can’t believe I nearly forgot to do this review. For those of you who have been following my mission to find a good breakfast, this is the next installment (and by the way, Mugg & Bean is my favourite for now but not the one in Kloof St). I had breakfast at Tuscany Beach [...]

Breakfast really is still a big problem. I’d heard murmurings that Sundance Cafe on Buitengracht Street is the place to go for good coffee, so I decided to check it out on Saturday morning. I’m going to tell you all about it, partly because it’s good to know, but mainly because it’s good to talk [...]

Caffe Neo is a fairly new restaurant/deli in Mouille Point. I had breakfast there the other day and it was ok. The menu is quite limited for breakfast, my bacon and egg roll/sandwich thing was fine but quite pricey really. The thing is that it’s hard to shake off the slightly negative impression you get [...]
