A little bitabout this blog.

Welcome to Eat Drink Cape Town!

Hi, I’m Sabah! Your resident storyteller, foodie, and professional over-orderer. Eat Drink Cape Town is my love letter to this city’s flavours, faces, and those spontaneous “Let’s never do this again” adventures that somehow always happen again anyway.

Here, we explore the heart (and stomach) of Cape Town through:
Eat: Restaurant reviews, chef stories, and recipes that celebrate South African flavour, from street food favourites to fine-dining moments worth dressing up for.
Drink: Cocktail culture, local wine finds, coffee rituals, and the spirited personalities shaking up our bars and vineyards.
Product Reviews: Lifestyle pieces, travel snippets, and reflections on living (and sometimes just surviving) in the Mother City. All seasoned with humour, honesty, and a dash of sass. So grab a glass, settle in, and let’s toast to good food, good company, and the best city in the world to eat and drink in.
