Cape Town’s hottest new spot to see and be seen.

Absolutely stunningly designed restaurant and cocktail bar filled with CT’s beautiful and stylish set.

Kill for a table, the service is very good and the food delicious.

We were very impressed with the grilled calamari, which was sweet and succulent with a strong fresh lime flavour (R80).

A close second place went to the mussels. Strong sea flavour softened by a dash of cream (R80)

The residents-only roof-top pool deck is definitely a reason to stay at the Cape Royale hotel!

Walk through the stylish space and quite a few other reasons will be obvious, but in a blistering week in Cape Town the pool deck seems reason enough for us.

Big stars for Astro Boy, Charlize Theron & Samuel L. Jackson.
This is what the director has to say.

Bowers: "Samuel L. Jackson, I don't want to give it away, because when his voice comes into the movie it's such a great moment. But he is playing a robot, and Charlize Theron, we have a little movie that opens the film. A movie within a movie. Charlize Theron is narrating it."

The kicks are higher and the laughs are louder at Vaudeville, Cape Town’s new 300-seater supper club. Step into this stunning, multi-level venue and feel the glamour and hedonism of bygone eras.

The city that gave us Madam Zingara continues to fly the flag for Good Times. Get down to Vaudeville, Cape Town’s newest supper theatre club, for a superb night out: lots of Bubbly, a three-course dinner and a spectacular 19-act show.

Remember that powerful moment in 1995 when Nelson Mandela strode out on to the field at Loftus Versveld in Francois Pienaar’s rugby jersey. Then came John Carlin''s book, Invictus: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation.

Now there is Clint Eastwood''s adaptation for the silver screen.

Just in time for the Christmas spending spree, we finally have a decent place to shop and ogle Cape Town's bold, brash and beautiful within the City Bowl. The extended Cape Quarter is very impressive indeed.

Mari Boine, in collaboration with Madosini and the Abaqondisi Brothers
Getting us in the mood for the Jazz Fest 2010, and reminding us that adversity is the laboratory of magic.

The often haunting, sometimes eerie sounds of Mari Boine and Madosini offset and perfectly matched by the soothing harmonies, catchy rhythms and the pure sense of humour of the Abaqondisi Brothers.

Planning to set Cape Town on fire
Vaudeville opens its doors on December 10 2009 with a lavish nine-act show to be compèred by (the incomparable) Irit Noble.

The outstanding theatrical team behind Vaudeville combines the creative talents of producers Will Hutton and Andrew Florenca of The Sunroom and well-known party architect Dirk Vervaeke as art director.
