Fork – Tapas on Long Street

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

I have always liked food in smaller portions – a huge steak with every bite that tastes the same is not for me. That is why Tapas is my kind of food – small portions, but a variety of flavours – that is what I like. We found a perfect restaurant that serves excellent tapas in the Cape Town city centre – Fork on Long Street has it all. South … Continue reading →

España Restaurant

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on June 11, 2015 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

On Friday 5 June 2015, we had to go to Stellenbosch. As we were expecting guests later that afternoon, we decided to go for a quick lunch. We did not plan on having lunch, therefore we did not have our cameras with us, so our only option was a cell phone camera. While driving on the R44, Deon spotted a restaurant just off the road, called España. It was obviously … Continue reading →

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on July 18, 2014 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

After three days in Madrid we went to Toledo for one night, then magical Granada for four glorious days, then one night in Sevilla (which was not on par with the other cities we have visited) and then … Barcelona (do you hear Freddy Mercury and Monserrat Caballé?). What a wonderful city. We … Continue reading →

Diemersdal Wine Estate

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on January 7, 2014 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

The estate itself is picture perfect with white Cape Dutch style buildings, green vineyards and Iceberg roses at the entrance which leads you to the restaurant.  We had … Continue reading →

Maria’s on Dunkley Square, Gardens, Cape Town

IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LIFE Posted on July 10, 2013 by adminFebruary 10, 2016

Looking for a great Mediterranean experience when eating out?  Try a quaint little restaurant on Dunkley Square in Gardens, Cape Town.   On a hot day it is lovely to sit outside under the shady trees while enjoying a typical Greek meal, sipping cool wine from small glasses.  In winter, on a really stormy day in Cape Town, it is warm and cozy inside.        We stumbled upon this charming little restaurant … Continue reading →
