Diagonally opposite SeeBreeze Fish & Shell twin sisters Jasse and Jamie opened their quiet, subdued, creative and sympathetic Between Us. Simple logo on the beige, inconspicuous exterior facade, tranquility inside. Long bar, wooden tables, beige tones. Hey. Tasty. The best thing is to score a spot on the patio; From there you can see a beautiful part of Table Mountain, and that remains impressive. The business is open every day of the week from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon (you can then join us for happy hour at SeeBreeze, if you hardly want to move a step for a day) and serves a good breakfast with home-baked whole wheat bread (still warm), a light lunch (flower-strewn salads) and coffee (little works of art in a cup). We are too smitten on the ceramics on which the dishes are presented. Just a small side note: as far as the experience is concerned, we left completely satisfied, but as far as the inner person is concerned, a little less so. The portions are not as plump as you are often used to in South Africa and you could therefore call the place expensive. By South African standards.

If you go to Cape Town for the first time and ask around, you will certainly be told that you 'must' go to the Old Biscuit Mill on Saturday. That day there is an organic and vintage market there and yes, a few years ago it was also a nice, fresh Saturday destination. But… As often happens with popular activities, the Saturday market of the Old Biscuit Mill has – in our view – become a victim of its own success. Commercial and no longer a South African in sight. Much (much!) more fun, more authentic and above all tastier is the Oranjezicht City Farm on the edge of the Waterfront district (V&A Waterfront). This is where the residents of Cape Town now do their weekend shopping and you can taste the tastiest dishes from the so-called fistje. You will find the Oranjezicht City Farm right next to Grand Africa Café & Beach, one of the few beach bars (read: a tent that is actually on the beach) in Cape Town with a very high Gordon content (way too brown white people with way too tight white clothes. And glitter. Always glitter everywhere). The latter is fun if that's your thing, the Oranjezicht City Farm is always a must for everyone.

We are no more Catholic than the Pope and although we like to eat healthy, we don't shout 'banana!' when asked what you can wake us up for at night. A croquette sandwich and a glass of champagne comes closer... Oh well. But if we have to be woken up at night for a fruity meal, let's do it conscious goodies from Wildsprout? The small shop at the end of Loop Street opens at seven o'clock every day of the working week and sells the better petrol for the working day until five o'clock. Or a holiday of course – a bit of city tripping is also work. Owners Candice and Bryan serve a fine collection of healthy and nutritious dishes every day for the flow of local and holidaying hipsters. One of those dishes that gives you a boost, instead of putting you to sleep. The 'smashed avo and free range on rye' fly over the counter, which is hipster speak for mashed avocado with free-range egg on light rye bread. That you know. Most of the ingredients that Candice and Bryan sell come from a family farm in Wellington, just outside Cape Town.
