Garden Route Awards
THE CXPRESS Garden Route Culinary Awards took place at beautiful Kurland Estate in The Crags on Monday afternoon, with the who’s who of the ‘hood’s food aficionados in attendance to either receive or hand over prizes. At the steer of proceedings were Francois Ferreira, head honcho of the South African Chaîne de Rôtisseurs, and Anne […]
Tierra Kitchen
Local, seasonal and organic, a menu and dishes which are as delicious as they are imaginative. Options like Spinach, pistachio and red onion filo served triple cooked chips and ginger pickled pear, at Tierra Kitchen in Lyme Regis. The fact that this eatery is vegetarian gets lost in the mix. Situated in the cultural quarter […]
English breakfast
For a traditional English breakfast try the Riviera Cafe in Selsey. Eggs are always fresh, nice big plate, great service. Reminds me a bit of a throwback to a 60’s Diner. But that might just be because I always had a good meal at this restaurant
Peppered French Toast
Author Notes: Savoury, crispy French toast. Salty, with a heavy kick of black pepper. This was one of my favorite Sunday breakfasts growing up, the smell of the toasts frying up a scent memory that still takes me back. This fried bread I grew up eating, called khara pao (khara means “spicy”), is South Asia’s […]
Trinchado
Originating in the African colonies of Mozambique and Angola, trinchado is more African than Mediterranean. Not really Portuguese. It means “cut up” or “carved” in English and it was served as a tapas-style bar snack along with drinks in most Mozambican bars over the years. Making its way into South Africa with the Portuguese immigrants […]
Scotch egg with black pudding
The fist time I came across a scotch egg with black pudding was when I was in Oxford. I was busy, in a bit of a rush. But paused to glance through the menu outside a pub in one of the side streets. I couldn’t stop. Just made a mental note to pop back another […]
Goodwood
It will never rate as a traditional English pudding shop. But the bread & butter pudding at Farmer, Butcher, Chef in Chichester is a great way to end a good meal. Although I think it is only something you get to do in winter. I might be wrong but it is not always an option […]
It began with an Oyster!
The economic development of Knysna was first driven by precious wood, then gold and recently, a precious seafood. OYSTERS. Little did we think that Knysna as result of more and more people traveling to knysna after Oysters, would develop into a major source of delectable farm produced raw products and world class gourmet restaurants. It […]

Breakfasts are served in the sunny glass conservatory and offer a selection of tasty treats to start the day. Light lunches are served in the dining room or on the lawns. The outdoor boma with its comfortable couches and fireplace, […]
Terri’s Cafe
[Edit] 11/2/24 Closed. The search continues. The best places are often the most difficult to find And Terri’s Cafe in Havant is not easy to find. Tucked away in the Truck Stop in the Langstone Technology Park it is packed full of character. Offering a menu that is loaded with homemade options. A typically traditional […]
