The V&A Waterfront Restaurant Guide – 2006 2007




On Wednesday 27 September I was part of the team, under direction of Lannice Snyman and Donald Paul, that launched the V&A Waterfront Restaurant Guide, 2007. The guide is pocket-sized and lists all the venues serving food and beverages at the Waterfront. For those who do not know what or where the V&A Waterfront is – shocking. Visit http://www.waterfront.co.za/, and be enlightened. Lannice Snyman is an internationally published, award-winning publisher, author and journalist. She is also the editor of SA’s national restaurant guide, Eat Out for 18 years and runs her own culinary consultancy and publishing company that published the guide. Donald Paul has more than 25 years experience in newspaper, magazine and book publishing. He is also a judge for the world’s 50 Best Restaurants. Six professional reviewers evaluated all Restaurants, Cafés, Fast foods and Bars & Taverns, anonymously. Attractive, full-colour photographs captures something of the essence of every venue – no small challenge. The guide offers a small write-up of the venues and includes opening hours, average cost per meal, and the full address and contact details. Basically it is the definitive guide to eating out at the Waterfront and nobody that likes to eat out once a month or five times week should be without it. The awards attached to the guide recognized the Best Venue and its runner-up in six categories. Just a quick list of the venues that received top scores from the reviewers and is worth a visit: Belthazar Restaurant and Wine Bar, Society Bistro, Vida e Caffé (reviewed elsewhere on this blog), Simply Asia and Bascule Whisky Bar and Wine Cellar. I have visited each of the above venues and can agree that the awards are spot on. With safety becoming an increasing concern in South Africa and unfortunately Cape Town, it is good to know that secure parking and around the clock security staff will ensure a hassle free environment. With more than 70 different eating venues to choose from, the Waterfront has arrived as one of the top restaurant destinations in the world. Check out their website for the addresses of the venues as well as photographs. Reserve a Restaurant online at http://www.waterfront.co.za/eat - just follow the instructions.
