Dear Me: Winner For Best Up and Coming Cafe

Great Service!  We arrived 30min after the breakfast cut-off time however they made a plan for us. We were limited to certain meals however they were definitely enough to please for the omelette, shakshouka and muesli eaters. 

The omelette with goats cheese, tomato and rocket was fantastic with their delicious homemade health bread.

The shakshouka was devoured by my father before I could taste however it looked and smelt fantastic.

The yoga muesli that I had sadly almost tasted stale however my lactose free cashew nut yoghurt was absolutely delicious - I could have eaten it by itself. 

Our English family friends asked for some marmalade but were rather given a homemade apricot jam that was absolutely to die for! 

We ended off out fantastic (very late) breakfast with a yummy gluten free orange and almond muffin- it tasted slightly eggy however maybe if it hadn't been gluten free it would have been better.

Leaving late, as we did have a rather late lunch, the smell and look of their duck salad as well as their fantastic service and breakfast will definitely drive me back to Dear Me Cafe for a try of their lunch.

Burratta: The Top Rated Italian Restaurant (acc to Eat Out 2013)

• The pizza is very much overrated - the pizza was doughy and lacking in flavour in every demeanor. 

• The Kingklip was lacking in seasoning however the polenta was better than any that I had in Italy.

• Another complaint is that corkage was a high price and no matter your table size ( 2ppl or 12ppl) you are limited to one bottle of wine (ridiculous!) 

Personally: I prefer their 2012 winner for best Italian - 95 Keurom 

Their butternut ravioli with sage butter sauce is fantastic and the kingklip I have had their in the past surpasses Burratta's. To end it off their double baked chocolate soufflé is absolute heaven. This restaurant has always been a special treat in my families books and Burratta has just confirmed that 95 Keurom will continue being special to me.

The problem with moving out of home is that fine dining is a no no with a student budget. Going out for dinner to nice restaurants with mom and dad is a definite highlight in the holidays. I hope my blog manages to let all you students in on those special places to eat (where you can spoil yourselves "occasionally") as well as hopefully helping you in on some healthy, quick and easy recipes for those students who battle in the kitchen.

Cape Town

I've spent my December every year in Cape Town with my family. Being a family whose lives revolve around food I have been lucky enough to go to numerous restaurants in and around the Cape. 

The Cape is well represented in the Eat Out Magazine. After Studying the 2013 edition back to front I can both criticize and commend their numerous selections.
