So my friend Jessica and I went to go see one of our dear friends perform at the Cottage Club on Friday, but we left early so we could go for lunch and a bit of an adventure. A celebration of my birthday and for finishing my 1st book!
We didn't have a plan and let our noses guide us, and we ended up at Café Roux in beautiful Noordhoek.
Cape Town is truly a phenomenally beautiful place to live. It's like we have several countries, all in one, and within driving distance!
The food was absolutely spectacular and we both enjoyed a great pale ale <3
Jess is a vegetarian, so she had the crumbed deep-fried blue cheese stuffed mushroom burger:
I had a spectacular pizza with salami, cherry tomatoes, feta and basil pesto. To die for! And I', full of nonsense when it comes to pizza. My favourite pizza is obviously made by @jusipassetti and @therneau but this was an excellent runner-up. A great traditional woodfired base (perfect texture and a thin base - but not too thin). I have become a fan of sourdough bases lately, but a good old-fashioned proper Italian base is also great.
Pizza must be made with love - that goes for all food! Do it right or don't bother.
From lovely food to spectacular views, we had an awesome day out. I shall make a separate post for the evening concert at the Cottage Club.
