Enjoyed Alan Committee's show at the Postbox theatre, formerly the Muizenberg Post Office. The accompanying dindins was good too - mixed seafood starter, roasted lamb (with second helping) and choco mousse with coffee. The sold-out run has been extended into January. 082 8463818 to book.
For those budget-watchers among us, I think I've discovered the cheapest coffee in Sea Point. Lemme know of another spot that serves machine coffee (rather than filter) for under R5. It does mean sitting in the middle of the Sea Point Spar and waiting an eon for service but when it comes the service is charming and there is usually a paper or two around to help pass the time.
I had a Chicken Caesar Salad at Cafe Balducci's R57 (021-421-6002). The chicken was dry but I decided not to alert management in case they took down the posters with my recommendation that the Sushi is the best I've had - ever. I remember Oscar Wilde saying there was a certain value in complimentary reviews as authors tended to quote them on their dust jackets. Having my name up in lights at the Airport is too thrilling to risk reviewing their sushi again.
Sea Point Main Road is really looking good. I think the tide has turned and the dodgy ness of previous years has made way for spanking new developments. This morning I walked along the Beach road to Carlucci's hoping for a coffee there but, as they were closed, I had to make do (happily) with coffee at The Spar. I walked back via Main Road and was so impressed. Granted the absence of hooting taxis and street vendors makes a difference but it was, nonetheless, very clean and felt safe.
