Seelan Restaurant and Bar

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on October 4, 2015 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

Situated at the V & A Waterfront opposite the harbour, this is the perfect restaurant for a lazy Friday lunch. One of our favourite restaurants, Quay Four, lost out today, as we decided to give Seelan a try. Elegantly decorated and with crisp white tablecloths and serviettes, friendly staff and an inviting menu, this restaurant is a must to visit. As it was a quite chilly day in October, we … Continue reading →

Walking past the closed doors of Annapurna, an Indian restaurant that has relocated … Continue reading →

Oppiedorp (meaning “in town”)

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on February 21, 2015 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

We had to go to Stellenbosch for business on Friday. Of course we had to have lunch as it was Friday, our day for exploring Cape Town. Stellenbosch, for me, will always be a very special town to visit. The sounds, the smell of bread baking, bicycles (yes, I was almost hit by one on Friday), students, beautiful old buildings, bistros and coffee shops, tourists with cameras and many more … Continue reading →
