Stellenbosch – A beautiful small boutique hotel, spa and great restaurant to start your South Africa trip nice and relaxed…a short visit from a little cat included.
Kalk Bay – Wonderful breakfast with a sea view. All food and juices are homemade and the staff very friendly.

Cape Town – a MUST and my personal favourite in Cape Town! But book in advance. The food is presented on the menu under the different tastes as Sweet, Bitter, Umami, etc. and portions in a Tapas-style-size. Everything was perfect and staff was not only very friendly but also very good-looking….maybe a job requirement?
PLC is a sister restaurant of the Test Kitchen, the best voted restaurant in Cape Town at the moment.
Cape Town – While visiting Cape Town one should visit Truth coffee. The poached egg on surdough with tomatoes and/or avo has only got a hint of sauce instead of drowning in it – fantastic!
Kalk Bay – Today we enjoyed a great and delicious fish and seafood lunch right next to the sea in Kalk Bay, 45mnts drive from Cape Town.
The waves were so big the water splashed on the windows. From the terrace you can watch the sealions playing with each other.
Really worth the way. There is another HH in Cape Town but I guess not at all that spectacular in terms of the view.

Cape Town – a great mix of European and South African kitchen in a beautiful house… you can see and feel it was a former home to a family. I had the Namibian lamb that contained also a delicious sweet bread. The wine list is a bit short.
Zurich – I have heard many good things about Cafe Boy. Finally, two weeks ago, I could experience it myself. I had veal liver on my plate – perfectly cooked and a beautiful flavour as it has to be! My friend chose veal on a celery-truffled mash…luckily she let me steal some of her food to try.
We also enjoyed some glasses of red wine from Mallorca, that paired perfectly.
Definitively worth going again soon…maybe today?
Sihlbrugg /Hirzel – I read an article about this restaurant in “Zurich geht aus” and it sounded quite good.
Today, I went for a relaxed Sunday lunch and it was just great and I would not have expected such good food! Normally, I’m not a “sauce-lover” but I had one of the tastiest experiences with this foie-gras sauce today….I could not wait longer to write about it.
With the sauce…obviously…came a dish and a whole sundays menu. It started with tagliolini with cray fish and it looked just lovely with the little red crabs arranged in a triangle (see pic below). The pheasant was honoured to lay next to the addictive sauce, accompanied by Brussels sprout, red cabbace and potatoe “knödel”.
We spent all in all 3 hours in the restaurant and were pampered from start to end with a lovely crew, all dressed in beautiful dirndl-dresses.
