I recently visited to try their Winter Lunch Special.

For R895 per person, you’re treated to a 4 course menu that truly showcases the culinary artistry that the restaurant has become renowned for.

This year, the menu includes the restaurant’s legendary Coal-Fired Bread and Butter, a choice of Torched Linefish Sashimi, Spiced Coconut and Turmeric Sambal, with herbs and aromatics OR Crying Tiger Tuna, Red Apple and Cabbage Kimchi with Popcorn Cereal Milk; Coal Seared Beef Saam with Flavours of Naam Tok OR Beetroot Tart, Sour Cream and Goats Cheese Dressing with Baba Ghanoush; Braaied Linefish, Confit Leek and Mussel Salad with Champagne Cream OR Thai Roast Chicken, Pandan Sticky Rice, Coconut Naam Pla; and for dessert, Cherry and Rose Geranium Mousse, Hibiscus & Rosé Jelly, Amaretto Foam, Cherry Ice Cream and Coconut Crumb OR Steamed Honey Cake, Smoked Banana caramel, 67% Dark Chocolate Cremeux, Toasted Brown Rice and Ice Cream.

This is truly a menu that celebrates creativity coupled with bold flavour. The finest, high-end, value-for-money dining experience in Cape Town this season.

The Winter Lunch special is available Monday to Friday until the end of September 2026.

Bold, bright and beautiful. Red shoes have the ability to immediately elevate an outfit into something fun and glamorous.

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair for ages, then sent me these Kyoto Heel Pumps from their Comfit collection. Not only are they super cute, they’re unbelievably comfortable to wear too. J’adore! ❤️

Looking for a (VERY) affordable fragrance that’s feels bespoke and high end? I’ve found FOUR worth trying!

The Chanson D’Eau Les Eaux du Monde collection takes you on a beautiful fragrance journey — from delicate Jasmine inspired by Bali, to comforting Vanilla from Polynesia, juicy Peach from Andalusia, and sparkling Neroli from Cinque Terre. Each scent captures the spirit of a different destination, with its own mood, energy and personality. Think of it as fragrance-inspired escapism in a bottle.

These are easy, everyday fragrances: long-lasting, wearable and perfect if you love scents that feel fresh, refined and never overpowering.

There’s something undeniably special about skincare that not only delivers visible results, but also transforms your daily routine into a luxurious ritual — and the new Black Rose Concentrate Radiant Youth Serum from Sisley Paris does exactly that.

As someone who already ADORES the entire Black Rose collection, I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts on this beautiful new launch. From the silky texture and luminous glow to the deeply hydrating, skin-reviving formula, this serum has completely won me over.

I’ve shared all the details on the blog (link in comments section) — including why this serum stands out, the key ingredients behind the radiance, and why it’s become such a favourite in my skincare routine. If you love elegant, results-driven skincare, this is one post you’ll want to read.

I recently attended the very first L’Oreal Forum in Johannesburg.
As a proud Tribe member — and longtime fan of the brilliant LiftActiv Collagen Specialist 16 Bonding Serum — I had the opportunity to chat with dermatologist about the vital role collagen plays in healthy skin, and how we can support and protect our natural collagen levels through skincare and daily sun protection.

A cleansing balm that effortlessly removes makeup and is, quite simply, unlike any other I’ve tried before 🤍

I love balm cleansers because they’re quick, effective and easy to use.
The new Gatineau SA Collagene Expert Melting Cleansing Balm has a balm-gel texture that transforms into a silky oil, then emulsifies into a milk when you add water.

Formulated with Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid and 10 nourishing oils and butters, it removes everything (including waterproof eye make-up) and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and comfortable without any greasy residue.

Winter ’26 eyewear trends are serving soft glamour, sculptural shapes, and timeless sophistication. ✨🕶️

At the media preview in Franschhoek, I fell hard for fluid 70s-inspired curves, elevated pilot frames, bold cat-eyes, and intellectual rounds. Favourite styles came courtesy of Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Prada and Ray-Ban.

Also loving the move toward rich earthy tones, khaki greens, honey tortoiseshells, and softly tinted lenses. Safe to say I want them all!
