My ♥ stopped at Tashas.

The lovely Sophia enjoying her milkshake & macaroons

We made our way to Tashas last weekend. And I'm so glad we did. This little restaurant really does have a unique recipe for making people feel spoilt. The vibe was almost tangible, happy faces sprinkled throughout the cosy space, leaving you with that warm feeling in your tummy. And that full feeling in your tummy. Speaking of which, the food was superb!(see above).


Aside from the inspiring lunch menu, Tashas has the finest spread of all the sweet delights you could lust after, gingerbread men, macaroons and fudge being my personal faves. I judge a place by the way my tea arrives, and Tashas gets 10/10 for their black DIY teapots. The staff were excellent, you know, not-too-pushy, not-too-invisible. We stayed far longer than we should have, indulging in everything Tashas has to offer, and we'll definitely be back. 


Visit Tashas in Constantia, or here for now.  

My ♥ stopped at Voila!

I needed to get a birthday present for a special someone this morning, and felt like breakfast somewhere different, so we meandered to Cape Quarter. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never been to Voila! - the most superb place to sit and soak up the buzz, filled with trendy Capetonians and confectionery delights.

SO MANY DIFFERENT TEAS TO CHOOSE FROM!

I'LL NEVER FIT INTO MY WEDDING DRESS AT THIS RATE

THE BEAUTIFUL NIKKI ENJOYING HER CIABATTA

It's amazingly uplifting to be surrounded by creativity. So many people putting their hearts into businesses like this. I'm jealous, and inspired.

My ♥ stopped at Delish in Hout Bay.

Hout Bay is affectionately known to some as Heart Bay. And it's places like Delish that give this area a magical feel. The coffee is strong and the food is great.

WE SAT OUTSIDE

I HAD THE EGGS, SPINACH AND HALLOUMI BREAKFAST

FOLLOWED BY A SCONE WITH CHEESE AND JAM, WHY NOT?

Delish belongs to Shirley Bowmaker-Falconer and is clearly a project of love and dedication. I have no doubt my heart will stop at Delish again. Beautiful!

My ♥ stopped at Oishii Delicious.

And it was delightful in a way I hadn't expected.

I had the vegetable lasagna. 

 He had the chow mein. 

 And read the newspaper for a bit.

It is a magical place. It feels almost as if someone needed a place to put all their travel memorabilia. The chairs are multi-coloured, the rabbits slightly sad looking. You must visit, even if just to drink out of marshmallow-hued teacups.
