The Chief tells me that there is a cool new ‘slick’ bar/club in Claremont called Club 91. He is trying to lure me to the ‘burbs for a visit and said we would enjoy it. Interesting. I’m told it is “sophisticated.” Have any of you been? What’s it like?

I visited HQ (Headquarters) Restaurant twice last week. Serving just one kind of salad and one kind of steak, I enjoy on the simplicity of the experience. And so does the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) it seems! HQ Restaurant On my second visit last week I ran into Matt, who, slightly out of […]
Public sentiment and general hygiene concern has come to the fore, as more and more restaurants country-wide are now blatantly refusing entry to ALL cyclists, let alone those who refuse to wear their helmets while they dine – a very particular complaint that we have, here at 2oceansvibe. This, from Remo’s restaurant, just outside Mount […]

I wasn’t around at the time, but there is something incredibly cool about New York movies I’ve watched based in the 1950’s. I’ve always loved the vibe. The post-Capone era, when TV had just come about and James Dean was doing his thing. But most of all, I dig the restaurant vibe that one sees […]

Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year. And now, the highly sought after building on the other side of The Grand Cafe is going under the hammer. I spotted them […]
This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him. Soso Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]

I trust everyone has seen the Nando’s ad for Joost? I put it up two days ago (here) and still received it 20 times yesterday in my inbox (could we please address this issue, friends). So anyway, someone has mocked-up ANOTHER Nando’s ad, addressed to Joost van der Westhuizen’s wife, Amor. This one is clearly […]
Jeepers Hudders, some of the okes with properties near The Lookout Deck have done PARTICULARLY well. These houses were once ON the Lookout Deck parking lot, but now, thanks to global warming and excessive flooding (which washed away the entire car park) they have their own private beaches! Shame Small increase in property value […]
With the wedding on Saturday, we hit Plettenberg Bay after lunch on Friday. Moby Dicks on the beach next to the BI hotel (leading to “The Wedge”) came into play and I tell you what, I was bloody impressed. This was, largely, to do with the very kak view from the restaurant. The BI […]
I’m giving these guys a punt because they were put onto me by a friend and proceeded to totally and utterly blow me away. Everyone knows that the entire 2oceansvibe network has NEVER had a reliable cape town panel beater and I honestly think I’ve struck gold. Sorry, WE’VE struck gold! Ok, I had this […]
[This article was written live on Sunday morning] It’s been a blur of a weekend really and whatever transpired has got nothing to do with the fat joint I had this morning before establishing myself in the Arniston Hotel breakfast lounge. You see, not only are you dealing with a view which could make Batman […]

I’m making use of a number of my resources this week. With the help of my friendly Butlers, there will be a number of Knead Love Boxes being sent all over town to some special angels! The contents of the Love Box Knead (Wembley Square – Cape Town) are offering the boxes (with the above […]
See what they did here? 110% ANAL Very good. They sell them (and many other hilarious signs) at that shop next to Miss K in Green Point, by the way. What, you haven’t been to Miss K !? [muffled laughter] Christ, that’s emboerrissing..
I mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]
It’s quite evident that I spent last weekend in Hermanus. I told you about the sea rescue and I told you about the cock guy with the flashing blue light on the way there. But what I did NOT tell you, was about the Butlers Pizza that I ordered and had delivered to Hermanus, over […]
