Mel Aware

When your regular Watering Hole becomes boring.
Move on.
There are fantastic places waiting to be discovered in the Southern Suburbs.

My #1 Favourite:
Mel's Village Kitchen
Tel: 021 685 6688
E-mail: mels@villagekitchen.co.za
Address: Rondebosch Village, Klipfontein Road, Rondebosch
Directions: M5 towards Muizenberg. Take Klipfontein turn-off and turn left at robots. Opposite Red Cross Children's Hospital next to Woolworths.
GPS Co-ordinates: 33°57'9.97"S, 18°29'17.81"E

Great food, great cocktails, great beer specials and Mel's Burger is TO DIE FOR! Well, not HER Burger - but rather the Burger named AFTER her.


My current SECOND Favourite:
The Sundowner Bar

City Lodge, Pinelands
Tel: 021 685 7944
E-mail: clpine.resv@citylodge.co.za
Address: Mowbray Golf Park, off Raapenberg Road, Pinelands, Cape Town
Directions: From Cape Town International Airport
Take the N2 City highway. Drive for approximately 12km.
Take the second Raapenberg Road/Pinelands offramp.
At stop street turn left into Raapenberg Road.
At the first set of traffic lights, turn right, past the golf club.

GPS Co-ordinates: 33°56'52.53"S, 18°29'25.08"E

The WORST décor in town, and desperate service to boot - but what a FANTASTIC venue - especially in Summer when you should sit outside, next to the pool.



A few fantastic others: Chai Yo, The Wild Fig, The River Club, Poncho's (in Obz) as well as Babbo's.
