Mexican restaurant next to the stadium, the décor is made for laziness. They have a log fire which is worth remembering on a misty Sunday, we go here to eat fine Mexican food, take a table on the balcony, wrap ourselves in blankets on a cold day and slowly slide under the table, strangely never been here when it’s hot outside.

Great for breakfast, brunch or lunch! Cozy. Friendly. Definitely try the Cauliflower Soup on a rainy Cape Town winter's day.

The Olive Branch Deli is a warm and friendly family run community grocer. They stock remarkable artisanal products and fresh seasonal produce. You can get lost in there. 

Looking for an early morning coffee on the way to work or a place to go for a couple beers on a Saturday night? The Power & The Glory is definitely the place, with a great crowd consisting of Cape Town's finest and a constant stream of good music, it's hard not to feel at home in this cozy joint.
