One for the foodies.

We sniffed out some great eateries around our neighbourhood in Cape Town. This included the Cafe de Sud, a funky retro Cuban inspired establishment with fabulous moody lighting, cool tunes and the most delicious mojitos.


We also enjoyed nibbles to the soothing sounds birds chirping (played over the stereo) at Birds, a fab simple little gem of a cafe which is a haven for the chic designer set, and smoking mango tobacco as we reclined on cushions at the Baghdad Cafe.

Vide e Caffe on Kloof Street, a small cafe where the local urban junkies get their caffeine hit, also gets our vote. In addition to having some of the best coffee in Cape Town and a great buzzy vibe, it has a spectacular view of Table Mountain from the front bench. Not a bad way to start your day!
