		<description><![CDATA[Sterling news for the industry – and for food lovers everywhere – is that renowned establishment Greenhouse will now open its doors for luncheon on Fridays and Saturdays from November onwards. Guests will be able to experience the summer Discovery Tasting menu created by Head Chef Farrel Hirsch. The Discovery Tasting menu offers an African-inspired fusion feast which will delight regulars and newcomers alike. Hirsch has conceptualised a number of new unique flavour combinations. Many of the dishes have wryly humorous names that belie the seriousness of the chef’s intent. These include the likes of Walkie Talkies – dry-aged chicken, burnt beans, garlic purée, aged shiitake, red carrots, ginger latte and bacon jam; Magic Mushroom &#8211; cinnamon, mushroom, walnut XO, coriander pesto, sweet potato angels nest and shiitake broth; and the Eaton Neat – Chef Farrel’s own memories of this classic dessert with childhood flavours of strawberry jam, smoked meringue and yoghurt crispies. The menu at Greenhouse is seasonally led, with only the finest local ingredients and suppliers sourced for the kitchen. This means that the summer menu is best enjoyed now. The menu will shift as a response to seasonal change as the fruits and produce of autumn and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year, when the 24th of September comes around, it presents a unique opportunity to celebrate South Africa’s diverse cultural heritage. In recent times, one social movement that has gained immense traction right across the land is the National Braai Day initiative. A way of marking annual Heritage Day, the idea behind National Braai Day is that South Africans from all walks of life gather around the coals to meet and eat. Whether it’s a tshisanyama at a shebeen or a boerie roll in Brakpan, braais bring people together. However, if you’re a fine-dining chef, and carefully crafted courses composed of rare ingredients are your raison d’être, then slapping a steak on the barbeque can be anathema. But this is not necessarily the case. Many celebrity chefs intimately understand the merits of coal-fired cooking &#8211; and then take it to the next level in their dishes. Charring and coal-firing have become staples in the fine-dining kitchen. Paying homage to the humble braai and its revered place in local culture is Head Chef Farrel Hirsch of the multiple-award-winning restaurant Greenhouse, which is located at The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel in Constantia, Cape Town. Hirsch’s September menu includes a dish that has lovingly been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[29 February comes around only once every four years, which makes it a day worthy of recognition. It’s time to make the general nuttiness that is Leap Day even zanier with the Mad Hatter’s Leap Year Tea Party at The Marine in association with Carrol Boyes. This wonderfully (and deliberately) bonkers affair is like something straight out of Alice in Wonderland. There’s a special guest MC on the day and a Mad Hatter dress theme, of course, with prizes for the smallest, largest and maddest hats – so start designing your headwear now! Tables will be adorned with beaded traditional African craft sculptures by Monkeybiz, Carrol Boyes’ charity beneficiary. After a refreshing welcome drink, high tea will be served and guests will get to play some fabulous party games, like hat throwing (unless you prefer to hold on to yours!) and pin the Cheshire Cat Smile. There are prizes to be won, so be ready to put your best foot forward. The Marine’s high teas are scrumptious, generous affairs and this chocolate-themed repast, which includes luxurious Carrol Boyes chocolates, will be no different – keep coming back for more at our goodies-laden tables! Each guest will go home with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Glamorous new hotel Labotessa on Cape Town’s heritage Church Square has just opened to the public, along with a brand-new outlet of Claremont “café crush”, Starlings. Labotessa, an elegant seven-suite space within a charming historical envelope, embodies the essence of what a boutique hotel ought to be – intimate, considered and personal. Starlings matches this locale in both personality and panache and is set to become the city’s new go-to for a quick brekkie for the early birds or a lengthy lunch looking out on the “piazza”… Given the hotel’s prime position in the CBD – close to a multitude of cafes, restaurants and bars – and considering the fact that guests (both local and international, business and leisure) would want to explore the area during their stay, the duo decided to offer a pulled-back dining element in favour of suites that allowed for in-room snacking, and an inhouse restaurant that catered to a daily neighbourhood crowd as well as hotel guests. Most importantly, they wanted to focus on a level of quality in line with the hotel’s beautiful interiors and service standards. Du Plessis’ vision for how guests would use and experience the space included casual dining that had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Southern Suburbs’ much-loved breakfast destination, Starlings Cafe, has set its sights on the Cape Town CBD and will soon open a city-centric hotspot within LABOTESSA (www.labotessa.com), a new luxury hotel like none other. Opening in August 2019, LABOTESSA is a unique hospitality offering boasting just seven distinctively appointed luxury suites with one of the largest penthouses in the city centre at their apex. It is the only hotel on historic Church Square in Cape Town, within reach of the monumental Groote Kerk and the Slave Lodge set beneath the unmistakable mountainscape of Lion’s Head.  LABOTESSA itself occupies a landmark building: a 17th century townhouse that has been lovingly restored. It is at this auspicious destination &#8211; at 5 Church Square &#8211; that the new branch of Starlings Café will make its nest. The first Starlings Café in Claremont occupies a Victorian cottage on Belvedere Road and is famed for beautiful breakfasts and bountiful bakes that are served against a backdrop of charming, nostalgia-driven décor with a contemporary bent. Fine, seasonal ingredients are key and ethically sourced products, such as free-range meat and eggs, feature.  Jams are homemade by Margaret; the cheese is naturally matured Montagu cheddar made from unpasteurised [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the owner of a private aviation business first sat down at a small, non-descript coffee shop in Kyalami, Johannesburg, he certainly never imagined that this would one day become the site of his very own Café Hemingway’s, the inspirational foodie establishment he founded in 2015. But when that little hole-in-the-wall café Jonathan Wolpe had been working from for years was on the verge of closing, he bought it and turned it into the acclaimed artisanal bistro, bar, pâtisserie and private events venue that it is today. Café Hemingway’s, as the reference to the great American writer Ernest Hemingway suggests, incorporates literary, cultural and historical tributes into its customer experience. The interior, designed by the eatery’s Creative Director Ingrid Irsigler in collaboration with Philippa Rose-Tite from Purple Raindrop, is the first indicator of this tribute, being reminiscent of both prohibition-era New York City and France during the Belle Époque. “The purchase of the café came shortly after a trip to New York City and a stay at the luxurious, but loft-style Soho House”, explains Irsigler. “The entire period in which Hemingway lived was also an inspiration. [F Scott] Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, the entire ragtag bunch of literary stars [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Morgenster Wine &#38; Olive Estate has collaborated with renowned Italian chef, Giorgio Nava, to create 95 at Morgenster, a new world-class restaurant that will undoubtedly attract locals and tourists alike. A mere 35 minutes from Cape Town and set in the stunning landscape of Somerset West, the restaurant boasts undeniable Italian flair evident in the carefully selected menu and subtle décor. Estate owner, Giulio Bertrand, approached Nava due to the success of the chef’s celebrated Cape Town restaurant, 95 on Keerom. The original 95 on Keerom combines the finest Italian cuisine with stylish, minimalist interiors, allowing customers to enjoy both food and aesthetics. Having completed the design for 95 on Keerom, as well as all of Nava’s other successful restaurants such as Carne, interior design firm Inhouse Brand Architects was the obvious choice for the much-anticipated 95 at Morgenster. The Inhouse team, led by Creative Director Aidan hart and Senior Designer Annelise Botes, decided to move away from the style precedent set by 95 on Keerom. They decided to establish a brighter, lighter character for the new restaurant in order to complement its idyllic location. The restaurant building sits beside one of the Morgenster estate lakes and enjoys stunning, uninterrupted [...]]]></description>
