The explosion of restaurant openings in Cape Town and the Winelands in September is flowing into October too. Last month saw the opening of Tiger’s Milk Kloof Street, Marrow, Davy Croquettes, The Yard, Schoon de Companje in its new premises, Pierino Penati at Villa 47, and Firefish, amongst others.
We update information about newly opened and closed restaurants continuously, and welcome such news.

On Tuesday I was invited to attend the hand-over ceremony of StreetSmart SA, of the monies raised by the voluntary R5 added to the bill of 92 restaurants around the country. The more than R1 million raised nationally goes to social upliftment projects for street children. 
The Sweet Service Award goes to Nonna Lina and its manager Juandre for making me a dry cappuccino twenty minutes before the restaurant officially opened its doors for service. I was killing time before the start of a movie at the nearby Labia Theatre. I was however surprised at the R6 extra I was charged for the double shot, something I have never seen on a coffee bill before!
