This is Eat
I have discovered the most awesome fish and chips shop at the Baakens River entrance to the Port Elizabeth Harbour. There used to be a small fish and chips take-away called Catch 22 which recently expanded into what is now called This is Eat. This is Eat is a typical local fish and chips shop like you would find in the Cape at places like Hout Bay and Kalk Bay harbour. You order by the counter and the food get served…

Marilyn’s Diner in Storms River
When one visits a small village or town you often expect some kind of quaint little restaurant or coffee shop and not necessarily a place filled with Cadillacs, 50's & 60's memorabilia, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and painted pink for added impact. This is exactly what we encountered next to the Tsitsikamma Village Inn on our visit to Storms River Village. Walking into Marilyn's Diner is like being whizzed back in time to a period of rock and roll, bold colours, chrome, neon…

Surf and turf at Barnacles
After yesterday's post on Barnacles Restaurant in Seaview I thought I wanted to show you the Surf and Turf I had for lunch there. Nom nom nom......

View from Barnacles’ deck
Port Elizabeth has a number of restaurants with great sea views, one of the Barnacles in Seaview. The view from the deck at Barnacles overlook the rugged coastline and you often spot whales (in season) and dolphins going by. My visit unfortunately coincided with a cold front so it wasn't ideal weather to sit outside and enjoy the scenery.

Flapjacks for breakfast
I stayed over at Pumba Game Reserve with a group of journalists a week or so ago. Returning to the lodge after our morning game drive I didn't really feel like a big breakfast so ordered the flapjacks with bacon, banana and maple syrup. Mmmmmmmmmmm............

Stanley Street
It seems that all three weekend posts for this week have some kind of link to food. It wasn't planned, it just worked out that way. Stanley Street in Richmond Hill has become one of the most vibrant spots in Port Elizabeth with its wide variety of eateries and sidewalk seating. The offering from the restaurants range from steaks and pizzas to sushi, seafood and the most delectable cakes. Njam!

Township fast food outlet
I seem to be getting to know more and more township spots to go and grab something for lunch (see Tsisha Nyama and Beef stew and liver). There are also a number of places I've been shown where you can stop for a snack like vetkoek or roosterkoek, amongst them the container near Red Location Museum where this lady works. They make the most divine roosterkoek (bread rolls made on the coals) - R1.50 plain and R1.80 buttered - and mini verkoek (dough that gets deep…

Bridge Street Brewery
Its Friday afternoon and the end of a tough work week. Feel like a quick drink with some friends to celebrate the coming of the weekend before heading home? One of the best place in town to do that is the very popular Bridge Street Brewery next to the Baakens River on Upper Valley Road. The plan was to start out as a pub, move on to food and the open their own micro brewery. Fortunately for us they were kinda "forced", due…

Oysters and sparkling wine
I always wonder who the first person was to be brave enough to open an oyster and put the "meat" in their mouth, allowing it to gently slide down their throat. They most likely did it while in search of a food source but whoever it was did us all a huge favour and today oysters is very much a delicacy. Fusion in Richmond Hill had an oyster promotion when I had lunch there the other day and I couldn't help but snap…
