Now this is a hidden gem if every you have seen one!  In Harfield Village on Second Avenue you will find Twigs, a lovely little plant nursery.

Not such a 'hidden' gem, situated on the busy intersection of Kloof Neck and Burnside road, but certainly one of those places that scream 'locals live here!',  The Power & the Glory is a deli by day and a bar by night,  serving some of the best coffee (in my opinion) in Cape Town - I love coming to the P & G to meet friends for a quick cuppa or to solve the worlds problems over a beer or two.

Always on the lookout for new places to try and of course delicious food to treat my stomach with, I was eager to head to Boulangerie in Kalk Bay after I’d heard a number of people singing its praises. 

A new restaurant opened in my neighbourhood just recently.  Raw Café.  Initially I thought it might be a raw food place but after scanning the menu a couple of times I was happy that it turned out not to be…  Delicious sounding sandwiches, salads and wraps had me salivating even though I’d only JUST had breakfast.

Cape Town is a maze of one-way streets and back alleys. If you know your way around, you may just find great little spots like this hidden gem, Sage Organic, on Hatfield Street in Gardens.

I know that many of the readers of this blog are travellers, occasional or otherwise. Take heed of this post if...

After visiting Lisa at the biggest little wine shop in the world, I was told about the most amazing French bakery around the corner. There is something special about Kalk Bay, in that there is a hidden gem around every corner.
