GORDON EFFING RAMSAY IS GETTING EFFING LITIGATED
05 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out […]

02 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 10 Comments
When Sol Kerzner enlisted the expertise of the man who is arguably the world’s most popular chef, Gordon Ramsay, he would have felt confident that the star food aspect of his monstrous V&A Waterfront hotel, the One and Only, was buttoned tight.

SPOTTED AT THE GRAND ON THE BEACH
22 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Just cruising over the sand in funny shoes. It’s one thing taking off your helmets (ta) but, let’s face it, that doesn’t make it ok.. Not ideal – taking your overseas guests for a lunch and exposing them to a pair of balls on a sunny weekend. Or your kids – let’s not forget about […]

21 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
For those of you new to the concept – let me first fill you in on the Dreamy Burger.

TOAST – RIGHT NEXT TO THE HEN’S TEETH
29 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
It is a pity that successful breakfasts are so hard to come by in Cape Town. the two most important things, crispy bacon and hard toast, are still, clearly, too much to ask. The Muse and I made the fatal error of getting breakfast at the Waterfront on Saturday morning. Why were we not at […]

07 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Look, I’m certainly not distraught at being “stuck” in Provence for the next month, but I am somewhat “irked” that I am missing out on the winter specials going on at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel!

Basically, you can get a glass of bubbly, a facial, a manicure, a pedicure or massage and valet parking, for roughly the same price as you get a sandwich from Melissa’s! That’s how the Equinox Spa at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel, is rolling at the moment. Personally I’ve had close on 500 […]

THE GRAND FINALE? AS CAPE TOWN’S “THE GRAND CAFE” RESTAURANT COMES UNDER FIRE
23 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 32 Comments
The Grand Café hit the scene a few years ago, after the building it occupies sold for a record sum. The Camps Bay strip welcomed them in place of the abortion that was Opium – giving us an upmarket dining alternative (if you must consider any of the other “upmarket/fine dining” alternatives in Camps Bay).

SETH’S PRIMARY RESIDENCE, THE CAPE ROYALE HOTEL, GETS TRIPADVISOR “BEST LUXURY HOTEL IN AFRICA” AWARD
18 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]

Jeez, what a vibe! About 250 of you caught the two hour live video streaming broadcast we did from the wooden jail cell at the V&A Waterfront, in which Bob is serving a self-imposed jail sentence.

WIMPY – OLD SCHOOL
20 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
The biggest burger cost you R3.15 in 1983. But enjoy this, 11 years earlier it cost 40c! Or try a three-egg omelette for 60c – gimmie a break! Take a trip down memory lane and recall your road-trips with the family – when you used to go “up-country” to visit your relatives. Wimpy was part […]

SETH RUNS THE TWO OCEANS “MARATHON”
11 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]

MOMBASA CAFE CAVENDISH SQUARE BITES BACK
04 Nov 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 64 Comments
I wrote an article over a year ago about my experience at Mombasa Cafe , Cavendish Square, Claremont, Cape Town. I was moaning about the convenient joys of them being constantly empty, as well as the fact tat they did not serve Tabasco sauce (a big “no-no” as we know). Mombasa Cafe – Cavendish Square […]

Hello, Dugsie One Good Pig Deserves Another – We published a headline on Friday, about these “Mircro Pigs.” The above photo was considered as the main photograph for that morning’s headlines, but a pic for the World Cup stadiums headline was used instead. I was worried you might have missed it, so here it is […]

PORTOFINO RESTAURANT ATTACKS CUSTOMER
10 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 141 Comments
Portofino Restaurant opened one month ago in Cape Town. It’s where The Showroom used to be – next to Bloomsbury Luxury Cars and Harbour Edge. Maybe that is why they used the same font as Porsche cars in their logo. I recall a launch of sorts (less than a month ago), with much fanfare and […]

CAPE TOWN ON THE CHEAP – LIVING THE HOLIDAY, BUDGET STYLIE
04 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
A handful of people send me links to this website called No Bucks, which is an “online portal of happy hours, specials and budget nights out in Cape Town.” I enjoyed the concept but didn’t know if it fitted “the vibe” correctly. But then I remembered that getting deals and paying less would take anyone […]

OVER-AGE POLE DANCING AT CAFE ROUX
24 Aug 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]
