eating out

Uncategorized

well… autumn gave way to winter rather quickly!

Westbourne Road, Saturday night, on our way to eat out. In a stroke of genius, Max elected to go to the Carolina Spur in Greenacres Mall, we were able to park undercover, and go in and out without drowning or freezing to death. We had a good meal too.This week the shorts and T shirts are lying neglected on the shelf while bulky jerseys are making a comeback! To see overflow pictures from this post, and also the previous 2…

The Blue Orange

Confusing name for a restaurant, especially as there is a furniture shop called the Orange Apple nearby!! What does make this a great place to eat, apart from the good food and service, is the outdoor area set in a real jungle of a garden. The ambince is lovely, and if it is a tad windy (as PE is known to be) there are lots of seats indoors too.

Car Wash

Near the bottom of Russell Road, opposite the historic graveyard, is a car wash. We have noticed that whatever the time of day, they always seem to be busy.

Coco de Mer

If you are looking for a great eating out experience, there is a new restaurant in town, along the beachfront in the Dolphins Leap Centre. Of course for me, it was the decor that first drew me in.... who could resist the attention to detail, the classic black and white fabrics and black chandeliers, combined with great filtered downlights to wash the white walls with warm colours at night? Combine this with an interesting menu, beautifully prepared food, great service,…

Beachfront Restaurant: Cafe Brazilia

Because of our generally pleasant climate, and the geography of Port Elizabeth which has quite steep hilly areas right next to the beachfront, offering commanding views across the bay, most of our Restaurants and Cafes along there have outside patios as well as indoor seating. There are few things more relaxing than enjoying a meal in the fresh air, with a sea breeze playing around you, and a view of the ships coming into the harbour to be off-loaded. This…
