Alberto’s Restaurant and Pub Durbanville

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on July 5, 2015 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

Wow, after being hugely disappointed with the closing of our favourite pub in Oxford Street, we discovered a new pub in Durbanville – Alberto’s Restaurant and Pub in King Street. What a surprise to find this excellent pub/restaurant so close to us. It has been in Durbanville for 15 years (how did we not see it in the almost five years of living in Durbanville?). The food is excellent – … Continue reading →

Yoco Eatery Durbanville

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on April 26, 2015 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

As it was Friday again, we had to find a new restaurant in Cape Town to explore (what a task!). We decided to find a new restaurant in our own village, Durbanville. Deon did a search on the Internet and yes, he found it. Part of the Rust en Vrede Gallery, Yoco Eatery is a combination of the talents of Yolande Snyders and chef Jaco Redelinghuys. Jaco is trained in … Continue reading →

Phizante Kraal Restaurant

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on March 19, 2015 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

It was my birthday on 18 March and Deon and I went for lunch at Phizante Kraal Restaurant in the Durbanville Wine Valley. The farm is situated not more than 1 km from Durbanville. The first owner of the farm Groot Phesantekraal was Captain Oloff Berg.  The farm was granted to him in 1698 by Governor Simon van der Stel. In 1897 the Brink family became the new owners of … Continue reading →

Himalayan Asian Restaurant

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on November 1, 2014 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

Deon and I love Indian food. In Port Elizabeth our favourite restaurant is Royal Delhi, an Indian Restaurant. Since we relocated to Cape Town, we have been searching for an Indian restaurant. Annapurna at Tygervalley is good, but we needed to explore other Indian restaurants as well. Then, not long ago, someone mentioned the Himalayan Asian restaurant in our own village, Durbanville. We decided to investigate. What we discovered, was … Continue reading →

In search of a good life (Or: A good life found)

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on October 31, 2014 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

I recently saw a post on Facebook which indicates that Heroes adopt animals from shelters, but I want to change that to Very fortunate people adopt heroes from shelters. We have been so fortunate to be able to adopt Leica, a six year old cat, from Tears. His name was then Webster, but we have decided to give him a new name because of his new life with us. When … Continue reading →

Soet

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on July 4, 2014 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

We like to relax on a Friday afternoon after a week of hard work and we then usually visit one of Cape Town’s wonderful restaurants for dinner. Today we decided on a local restaurant, called Soet (Sweet in English). It is situated in the centre of Durbanville and it is an interesting space where you can have coffee and cake; you can pop in for lunch; you could bring your … Continue reading →

De Malle Meul, Philadelphia

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on January 5, 2014 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

Just outside Durbanville lies the village with the beautiful name, Philadelphia (brotherly love). It is popular with Capetonians, not only for a weekend getaway, but also for the Sunday lunches at de Malle Meul, the restaurant which is also the art gallery of the well-known South-African artist, Pieter van der Westhuizen.  This 150 years old village originated when farmers in the vicinity wanted their own church.  The beautiful white church … Continue reading →
