My Best Restaurants Of All Time - Sunset Views & Amazing Flavor
The coastal and city restaurants I keep returning to for date-night meals and well-earned treat dinners after long shifts - every one of these has the sunset view, the flavour and the vibe that makes the evening feel special.
A favourite for a proper date-night meal with the kids in mind only the next day - live piano, ocean views over Umhlanga and the famous curry buffet that's hard to beat on a warm summer evening. It's the sort of place I save for when the week has bee...
Award Winning Ocean Terrace Restaurant Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal
A quiet spot at the marina where the ocean views set the scene and the desserts are the real reason we keep going back - the sort of elegant but relaxed lunch I book when I want the week to feel a bit more special.
The Sugar Club
Sushi and seafood right on the Umhlanga pier where you eat with your toes in the sand and watch the boats come in - I put this one in for families who want good food and a view the kids actually enjoy.
Jack Salmon Pierside (Umhlanga)
A relaxed coastal Italian spot where the pasta and the views share the spotlight - I put this in for anyone who wants a low-key meal where the evening light makes every plate look special.
Sunsets and Mermaids
A smart fine-dining table at the marina with waterfront sunsets as the view - I include this for when you actually want to mark the evening and the food keeps up with the occasion.
9th Avenue Marina
The dinner that slowly turns for a full view of the city and harbour - a once-in-a-while table I recommend for anniversaries and the sort of visit where the view is as important as the meal.
Roma Revolving Restaurant
World-Famous Restaurants
A dream-list of world-renowned restaurants I'd love to visit one day - no claim I've eaten here, just places on my foodie bucket list.
Two Michelin-starred, famously playful dishes from the ex-El Círculo team. I haven't eaten here yet, but it's top of my foodie bucket list for a Barcelona visit.
Disfrutar - Barcelona
Three Michelin stars and Japanese-Peruvian fusion from Mitsuharu Tsumaki. I haven't been to Lima yet, but Maido is a long-term dream.
Maido - Lima
René Redzepi's Noma in Copenhagen helped change Nordic cuisine worldwide. A dream stop I haven't visited yet, but it's on every foodie bucket list.
Noma
Gaggan Anand's playful, progressive Indian that made headlines and won fans worldwide. I haven't visited, but it's a foodie pilgrimage on my wish list.
Gaggan
Yoshihiro Murata's tiny omakase gem in Tokyo that holds three Michelin stars. A lifelong foodie dream I haven't been able to make yet.
Den Tokyo
The Test Kitchen in Cape Town by Chef Reuben is a proud South African on the global fine-dining radar. A homegrown dream I haven't sat at yet.
The Test Kitchen - Cape Town
Virgilio Martínez's Central in Lima holds two Michelin stars and champions Peru's biodiversity. A long-term dream destination I haven't been to, but it would be a highlight trip.
Central Restaurante
Le Bernardin in New York (three Michelin stars, the sibling Chefs Franois and Eric) is one of the world's finest seafood restaurants. A dream dinner I haven't had yet, but it would be unforgettable.
