Despite being filled with Michelin star restaurants I think it's safe to say that with names like 'Toad In The Hole' or 'Bubble and Squeak', British cuisine has never really taken off! There is however an exception to the rule! A simple dish of fried fish and potatoes proved to be so deliciously popular that … Continue reading WMBW Eats – Golden Union Fish and Chips
WMBW Eats – Roast & Co
A couple of weeks ago, Elzaan and I were invited to lunch at Roast and Co just off Bree Streets famous culinary strip! Luckily we skipped breakfast and arrived at this new mono menu restaurant hungry! For those of you unfamiliar with the mono menu concept let me explain. You know that feeling when you sit … Continue reading WMBW Eats – Roast & Co
WMBW Eats – High Tea at the Oyster Box Hotel
Hight tea? Isn't that for the queen? In Short, no. You see back in the 1700's, High Tea was served to the working man as an afternoon snack. This meal of scones, cakes or cheese on toast was generally taken standing up or seated on a high stool...giving birth to the name "High Tea". Somehow … Continue reading WMBW Eats – High Tea at the Oyster Box Hotel
WMBW Eats – Marble Restaurant
Nearly a month has passed since eating at Marble and I still can't get the bad taste out of my mouth. If you live in Johannesburg, or perhaps know someone who lives in Johannesburg...or someone who knows someone in Johannesburg, then you would have heard about marble. Why? Because they would have told you about … Continue reading WMBW Eats – Marble Restaurant

WMBW Eats – The Granary Cafe at the Silo Hotel
Some buildings stand out because they're tall, some buildings stand out because, well, they're amazing! The Silo Hotel is definitely part of the latter, though to be fair, this converted grain Silo was the tallest building in Sub Saharan Africa when it was built some 90 years ago. Today after a facelift from Hetherwick Studio … Continue reading WMBW Eats – The Granary Cafe at the Silo Hotel
WMBW Eats – Camissa Brasserie
It's not every day you get invited for lunch at one of Cape Town's landmark hotels. So when the Table Bay hotel told me they had a couple of bottles of GH Mumm on ice, for me and a couple of friends, I didn't really give it a second thought. Truth be told, I barely gave … Continue reading WMBW Eats – Camissa Brasserie
WMBW Eats – The Hoghouse Beats & BBQ
We love us a bit of BBQ, so when the opportunity came up to attend the relaunch of the Hoghouse at Spier, Elzaan and I grabbed it with both sticky fingered hands! We haven't been to Spier since the terrible experience we had about a year ago, but Hoghouse isn't just another tourist trap on a … Continue reading WMBW Eats – The Hoghouse Beats & BBQ
WMBW Eats – Charango
This review is so fresh I think I still have a piece of quinoa stuck in my teeth. Yes. Quinoa! That amazing South American super-grain filled with so many delicious nutrients you can't help but eat like a 1000 of them. It's also an absolute staple in Peruvian cuisine! Boom! Yes, people, much to my … Continue reading WMBW Eats – Charango
