Corona Gratitude đ
#Grateful for a beautiful and cooler day; for getting my writing and meeting preparation done this morning; for a good Status meeting with my client; for a shop at Woolworths at St Johnâs, bumping into soon-to-be birthday boy John French and Alan Hoffman, so kind with all their compliments, and inviting me to a pre-celebration tea with them đ; for my own celebratory ice cream at The Dairy Den, being spoilt with a huge portion; for an energizing brisk walk to Camps Bay and back, it being chilly with the wind having picked up and the sun having set just after 19h00, earning 300 steps; and for being happy and healthy. đđ Continue reading →
It was by chance that I discovered Labotessa Café in the Labotessa Boutique Hotel on Church Square in Parliament Street in Cape Town two weeks ago. It is part of the Labotessa Hotel, in a beautifully renovated five story building reminiscent of Amsterdam from its exterior, exuding beauty and style.
Yesterday Fideliâs opened on Parliament Street on Church Square in the City centre, a very fine Deli as well as eating and drinking spot next door to Pilcrow & Cleaver, both owned by the very enterprising Chef Judi Fourie. The space was previously that of Kleinskyâs. While small, it spills out into a covered side section, almost doubling its size. I have not seen such beautiful presentation of food and beverages in a Deli before, as I did at Fideliâs yesterday.
In an interesting move not seen before, La Colombe announced that its Restaurant Manager Jennifer HugĂ© would be leaving, after 14 years, to join a new city centre restaurant, but without providing details. Yesterday, the details were revealed, HugĂ© joining forces with Chef Ashley Moss in Chef Peter Tempelhoffâs new FYN Restaurant. The La Colombe restaurant group has no link to the new restaurant.
