Cafe Caprice for Cocktails

Caprice is a beautiful venue to find some space to have a few cocktails with some of your girlfriends.
I went there the other night to try out something different, the weather is Cape Town is particularly hormonal, so I was waiting for perfect summer-sun beach weather to peruse the long list of drinks presented to me on a menu.
The food there is also not too shabby, the delicious burgers causing a lot of heartache between our hearts and our waistlines, but nevertheless, we told out waistline to "shut it, " however politely, and indulged in some well made and filling burgers that went very nicely with the cocktails for an evening meal.
The other girls and I have long been waiting to do a culmination of drinks, gossip and fashion night, most of the time we tend to do each thing on its own and unfortunately we still do have to do it.
The cocktails themselves are so delicious that we had sparsely any time to stop and speak, and to be blunt most of us ended up relying on our sober friend for a lift home, her flu medication being our savior.




The never ending stream of bare-chested hunks that happened to be sitting beside us, as well as walk along the beachfront was the cause for much giggling, and the eventual nudge that resulted in a phone number, yes! Through the eventual colorful display of leftover Mojitos, Cosmo's, and Strawberry Daiquiris, I can definitely conclude that for the price and taste of these drinks, in relation to the amount of eye-candy and vibe, Caprice is perfect for students, and for ladies that wish to do a Girls Night Out.

Cafe Mozart in Church Street


Cafe Mozart.
On a cute little corner, one can walk past the antique market littered with jeweled (fake) delights and the ever so often pearled comb, to walk up to the picketed enclosure surrounding Cafe Mozart in Church Street, just down from Long Street.
For a simple price, R35 for a small, and R40 for a large salad take-away from the buffet, or R45 to sit down in this idyllic little restaurant surrounded by trees. 

I decided that as a once off, I would stay and do a sit down lunch. I was highly impressed, the fact that I managed to find a quaint little table outside was apparently like striking for oil in the middle of your backyard, it just doesn't happen and I was watched by hungry customers lining up to find their own venue.
Walking inside and loading up my plate was a lot of fun, I personally love clean and healthy food that tastes divine, and I wasn't left waiting, the buffet supplied a various selection of garden and roast vegetable salad with my favorite being any that involved Avo and a little bit of grilled chicken.
They also have a nice selection of sandwiches and some basic lunchtime essentials to ensure that you and your friends are wholeheartedly appeased.Walking back outside in the sun, a friendly waitress took my drinks order and I sat quietly eating my healthy and inexpensive lunch, along with my cappuccino in hand.
My friend across from me, a lady that shares my foodie ideas, also did the salad and can concur that it will soon be our little hangout spot, our lunch date venue (when we can get in) and our 'salad place.'



I liked the cute venue and the food was delicious, simple and for the price, the quality was great.
Definitely somewhere I would go again, but you need to get there quite earlier to avoid disappointment and to ensure that you get a table, but the take-away option is fantastic, so either way a nice meal is guaranteed.
