Restaurant Time: Burnside

February 21, 2013

There is a sweet little restaurant called Burnside (6 Burnside Ave Craighall, Johannesburg) which I absolutely love going to. It’s set up in a house with a awesome big porch in front of it. Their menu is not huge but their food is good. Lat night I went with Shane and our friends Leigh and Brad for supper and I had a smoked salmon and creme fraiche angel hair pasta, Shane had the fillet salad and Brad and Leigh had pesto linguini with mozzarella balls and parmesan. All the food was flipping delicious, in fact I’m seriously considering getting in my car right now and driving there to have it again, alone so I can order TWO portions without anyone looking at me like i’m nuts-a-roonie. We also had dessert, ice-cream with real (mmmmm) chocolate sauce and strawberries and mini pavlovas.

Damn it I’m hungry!

Restaurant Time: Merchants Cafe

November 8, 2012

Shane and I went and checked out our friend’s new venture in Cape Town over the weekend. Will has opened up a very sweet little spot called Merchants Cafe and it’s quite magical what with it’s ceiling of fairy lights, great food, awesome personalised crockery and great furniture, made by Pedersen + Lennard. You should check it out next time you’re in Cape Town.

Love Food

October 2, 2012

A few weeks back I went and had lunch at a new little place called Love Food that has opened up at number 4 Ameshoff St, Braamfontien. It’s a sweet little deli that makes yummy sandwiches but also has a table of food that will make your stomach high-5 whatever organ is closest.

Love Food is run by a lady named Jamie who says she is obsessed with food, an obsession I completely understand. The menu is not complicated at all, it’s made up of a few things that are freshly prepared each day that you can just pop onto a plate, lasagnas, vegetables, salads, sandwiches, burgers, brownies etc etc

Restaurant time: Lucky Rodrigo

June 21, 2012

The other day I took a drive with some friends to Pretoria for a meeting and afterwards we decided to try out a new restaurant that I’ve been hearing about called Lucky Rodrigo. I thought, because of the name that it was a Mexican restaurant, so all of us were cheering for chilli poppers in the car, but unfortunately it’s not. BUT we did have some of the best homemade cheese burgers I have ever tasted and I’m not a huge burger fan, but I was loving this one.

The Leopard

April 26, 2012

On Saturday I got to spend the afternoon with some of my best friends. We went to The Leopard on 4th ave in Parkhurst. It’s a very cool little restuarant and the food is great. The owner changes the menu up every once in a while, which is very refreshing, brave, but refreshing. I had mussels in a coconut sauce. It was delicious, my only gripe is that there wasn’t enough of them, I wish the bowl was double the size.

The actual shop is a mishmash of antique lights, paintings and crockery, which is just up my alley and there is always bananas, ice-cream and caramel fudge sauce on the menu. HELLO. What more could you ask for.

The Good Luck Club

March 8, 2012

So we are officially open. Open for lunch, open for dinner, open for cocktails, open for good times. The Good Luck Club is up and running and although it all still feels like a bit of a blur, it’s such a cool feeling to see it all shiny and new with it’s doors wide open (We actually opened Wolves almost at exactly the same time 2 years ago – March seems to be the month for us).
