Visitors will be enchanted by the magical offerings of the Constantia Valley, one of the oldest and most established regions in the Cape, which will be available at this year’s Constantia Food & Wine Festival

The Mother City is preparing for the mouth-watering annual 4-day event, the 5th Taste of Cape Town, which has also become a highlight on the calendar of many local foodies and attracts a combination of the finest exhibitors and the most highly acclaimed restaurants.

Last week my girlfriends and I decided to try out a new spot in Cape Town for drinks, the Jackal and Hide. The reason we chose it was not because it had been reviewed well (because it has) or because it really is just a stone’s throw from my office, but because they have buy-one-get-one-free cocktails

The Roundhouse Restaurant, a hidden gem packed with history and well and truly hidden in the Glen, overlooks Camps Bay, offering patrons not only incredibly delightful meals, but a breathtaking view too.

If you like the idea of wine and gourmet picnics in picturesque surroundings, then I'd suggest heading to Warwick Wine Estate near Stellenbosch to indulge in wonderful food, wine and the best chocolate brownies ever tasted!

The Getaway brand is well known for symbolising everything that is travel related and the upcoming Cape Getaway Show encompasses everything necessary for a successful and fully enlightening and interactive 3D customer experience in one location.

If you are tired of doing the same old thing over the weekend, why not try getting out of town and exploring the very best that the Boland has to offer?

If you like meat and hidden gems are your thing then I'd highly recommend heading to Headquarters in Heritage Square - for incredible steaks, fantastic service and a top notch meal.

I’ve often written about what a wonderful spot Greyton is to visit if you are in the Cape, just 120km from Cape Town (and shorter from Franschhoek) you will find yourself in the most idyllic little town, hugging the side of the Sonderend mountain range in the Overberg region.

If you would like to do something different and are open minded to different styles of eating then I think you’d be interested in this…
