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 […]

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” […]

CYCLISTS NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
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 […]

NEW RESTAURANT : BOO RADLEYS BISTRO AND BAR, 62 HOUT STREET, CAPE TOWN
15 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
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 […]
