127 Bree Street, Cape Town

Time slows down at this unique eatery in the middle of Cape Town whilst you indulge in organic, home-baked scones, biscuits and cakes, hearty quiches and golden mounds of generously filled chicken pie. The salads and open sandwiches are piled high with fresh garden produce and crunchy seeds, the omelette style scrambled eggs will cure any hangover, a selection of sublime fresh juices and homemade lemonade are offered to refresh the palette, and the coffee is strong, served in a bowl. Even the exquisite dishes are handmade in the ceramic studio beneath the cafe. Relax to the soothing sounds of local bird calls off the old record player in the corner. Rustic, quirky and ultra cool, do not miss this experience!

Kiki’s Taverna

AgentOrange — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A small, delightful, unspoiled taverna (with no sign, telephone number, or electricity!) is open only until sundown.

Adjacent the secluded Ayios Sostis beach, which by the way is a must see and do too, they serve island food the way it should taste. The restaurant is located on the steep hill walking toward the beach . Look out for the entrance, if you blink you might miss it. It is obscured by the plants outside, as it has just a patio and no building to talk of. Meat and fish are grilled on a charcoal barbecue as you walk in and served in the restaurant’s olive tree shaded courtyard. Be sure to try the tasty salad, too.

It is also small so you might have to wait a few minutes to get a table overlooking the turquoise Aegean. REMEMBER their hours are 11 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week.

One of the pure gems in Mykonos

Seabay Restaurant

Daisyt — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:28:45 +0000

Seabay is probably the best dumpling place in the city. while it has been affected by the opening of Din Tai Fung, Seabay remains my favourite. Whenever i go there with my best friend we order:

- boiled dumplings

- Fried Dumplings

- Chopped up noodles with lamb

- Salt and Pepper Pork (we call it popcorn pork)

Not the healthiest but absolutely delicious!
