We visited CT and Franschhoek in June 2010. Reuben's was wonderful - great food, lively atmosphere. Bread & Wine is absolutely wonderful and a great pit stop when out wine tasting - it's only open for lunch. If you like pig in all of its forms, the Charcuterie is his speciality and it's wonderful. We also ate at La Petite Ferme, where the views are stunning and the food is good enough. Try Dieu Donne as well for a glass of wine and beautiful views - they also have microbrews if you need a break from wine. Food was average. We had a fantastic blowout wine and food pairing at Le Bon Vivant as well - definitely would recommend it. There's apparently an amazing value food/wine pairing at Clos Malverne in Stellenbosch that might be worth checking out for lunch.

In CT, we had a great burger at the Royale Eatery (plus great milkshakes!) and also splurged on Nobu at the One & Only - it's the best 'value' as we wouldn't be able to afford to go there in any other country. Food was very nice as one would expect. Didn't get a chance to try the Codfather in Camps Bay, but it has been recommended by more than one person for the fish and 1/2 price sushi at lunch.

We're heading back in April so would love to hear what you find so we can explore some new gems! Have fun!

Odeon is a good choice - casual and right at a good corner for people watching. Food isn't too bad either. Another idea would be Cafe Motta (fka Gran Cafe) on the Limmatquai/Limmat River that offers a light selection of food and good coffee. If you want to stay close to the HB (main train station), then perhaps Cafe Balthazar, which is only about 1/2 block from the main entrance. If it's a nice day, they have a big outdoor area that looks on the Bahnhofstrasse where people are always coming and going. Enjoy!

Will be visiting London over Easter Weekend and would love some recommendations for a great Easter Sunday brunch where we can eat and waste away part of the day. Will be staying near Oxford St, but we're willing to travel if it's worth it. Many thanks in advance!

We ate at Brasserie Bodu a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic meal. Highly recommended.
