The Karoo Heartland village of Nieu-Bethesda is weird and quirky, but in a nice way. It has a lot of interesting nooks and crannies which include a couple of fascinating attractions, authentic Nieu-Bethesdian accommodation and slightly off the regular type of mainstream restaurants and eateries. When you pass a little restaurant with a sign saying Bruno's Alfresco Pizzeria … Continue reading Pizza, World Famous in Nieu-Bethesda
This morning I joined a couple of colleagues for breakfast at Angelo's on the beachfront to celebrate one of their birthdays. Sitting there watching a couple of dolphins pass by we all just realised again how privileged we are living in this beautiful coastal city where we can sit and have a meal with a … Continue reading Breakfast views on the beachfront
The food truck culture has definitely reached Port Elizabeth and Food Truck Friday down in the Baakens Valley (once a month at this stage) has proved it. The Makoy Food Truck, one of PE's originals, did the catering at a function I attended in November and if that is the food that comes from food … Continue reading PE food trucks
I got to peek into the new Richmond Hill Brewing Co undercover beer yard and brewery in the Baakens Valley the other day. Unfortunately it was literally just a peek in as I was attending an event next door so I didn't get to try the beers or check out the brewery, but I'm sure … Continue reading Richmond Hill Brewing Co
Port Elizabeth is very quickly getting a reputation as a good food destination with visiting bloggers and journalists raving about the variety and quality of restaurants and food markets available around the city in their articles. Now I'm not food expert although I am known to enjoy a good steak / pizza / chop and … Continue reading Master Chef judging, the Firefly version – Ginger Restaurant

The Damselfly and I were invited to come and try out their seven course relaunch set menu tonight. The restaurant has just had a complete … Continue reading Relaunching Ginger
I don't think there is anybody out there (except obviously vegetarians or vegans) who doesn't love a good steak. Not everybody can make a good steak though. I have tried many times and just can't get it right. It's always either done to much or not enough and I think the Damselfly may even have given up … Continue reading Butcher Block Umhlanga – the BEST steak I have ever had
Have you ever had lunch at This is Eat at the harbour? Not? You're only missing the best takeaway fish and calamari at the best prices in town. Last week we had a quick lunch time Geocaching event at the restaurant and as I'm on diet I had to sit and watch my friends eat. … Continue reading Lunch time at This is Eat
A new restaurant recently opened in the McArthur's Pool complex. This post isn't about the restaurant as I don't even know what its name is, but rather about the people who sat outside having a meal or drink on the evening of Ironman.
Last weekend with Ironman we headed down to the beachfront to support the runners and set up our spot in front of McDonald's. I don't think I've ever posted a picture of the Dolphin's Leap complex next to Bayworld and decided to snap a pic. Dolphin's Leap is made up of mostly restaurants and pubs … Continue reading Dolphin’s Leap complex
