Every full moon we walk to the top of Lions Head. It’s a part walk, part climb and we invariably return once the sun’s set and the full moon risen, so the journey down can be quite interesting. The view from the top is spectacular. I often sit here high above the city and watch the late night flights to Europe carving their way through the thick, liquid purple sky, happily accepting that they’ve left me here.

Delicious drinks, nice courtyard, good music. 

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. 

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