Address: 257 Main Rd, Scarborough Hours: 8:30am-5pm Mon, closed Tue, 8:30am-5pm Wed-Sun Website Facebook In the quest to try to cover as many vegan restaurants as possible I have literally tripled my petrol budget for the past month. When you find me homeless begging outside The Hungry Herbivore in town, please throw me your vegan scraps! Bankruptcy is nigh! So I thought I’d drive to the furthest end of Cape Town on my petrol fumes to the seaside town ofRead more

Review – Dolcé Bakery, Observatory
Address: 239c Lower Main Rd, Observatory Hours: 7:30am-4pm Mon, 7:30am-5pm Tue-Fri, 8am-2pm Sat, closed Sun Website Facebook I am literally OBSESSED. I think the owner, Russell Soffer, may think I’m a bit weird. But I am in love with his food. This man and his crew know how to bake. I sort of found out about Dolcé through some Googling and it had been on my list for a while, so a month or two ago I decided to giveRead more
Review – Govinda’s Pure Vegetarian Café, Rondebosch
Address: Isckon, corner St Andrew Rd & Teddington Rd, Rondebosch Hours: closed Mon, 12pm-6pm Tue-Sat, 12pm-4pm Sun Website Facebook I went with zero expectations and wasn’t quite sure what awaited me when a good friend told me he was taking me to the Hare Krishna Centre (Iskcon) in Rondebosch for lunch as they made amazing vegan food. I didn’t realise their café was called Govinda’s – a place I had been meaning to visit for over a year. Suddenly allRead more
Review – Chardonnay Deli, Constantia
Address: 87 Constantia Main Rd, Constantia Hours: 7:30am-6pm Mon-Sun Website Facebook Situated in the Constantia Valley near Groot Constantia, this little farmstall/bakery/deli was the perfect place to take Granny for her birthday, having just turned 81. Who doesn’t love a good ‘padstal’ vibe? Especially when you think of freshly baked bread! My experience was not an entirely positive one sadly. I will speak truthfully… Upon arrival it was jam-packed, on a Friday, at lunchtime. Does no one in Cape TownRead more

Review – Unframed Artisan Ice Cream, Gardens
Address: 45c Kloof St, Gardens Hours: 11am-11pm Mon-Sun Facebook Instagram I was angry. I went there three times. Every time I went they were out of the Vegan Caramel. That is ALL I wanted. I stomped off like a spoiled brat. Why was everyone else allowed to taste it, and review it and post Instagram pics all over Facebook but me? Then it happened! I had the Vegan Caramel. And the Peanut Butter. And the Raspberry Coconut. I was onRead more

Fresh, spicy and cheeky… and that’s just the waitresses! Kidding. Really. I’m not like that. El Burro Taqueria (younger sister to El Burro in Green Point) has carvedRead more
Review – Deer Park Café, Vredehoek
Address: 2 Deer Park Drive, Vredehoek Hours: 8am-9pm Mon-Sun Website Facebook Situated on the upper slopes of Vredehoek overlooking the city, this City Bowl eatery is great for all ages with inside and outside seating available with big bay windows overlooking The Rocklands Rd Park. Table Mountain is the backdrop with Deer Park being the popular gateway into the reserve. This Cape Town Vegan needed somewhere to have a breakfast meeting, so I popped in here on the off chance thatRead more
Review – Scheckter’s Raw, Sea Point
Address: 98 Regent Rd, Sea Point Hours: 8am-4pm Tue-Sun, Closed Mon Website Facebook With most of us having been born into an omnivorous lifestyle, one can forgive the masses for finding the concept of veganism a little scary at first: “But what do you eat?!” … “Food.” When I first stepped into Scheckter’s Raw a little over a year ago as a newborn vegan, I was a little scared too – I mean “raw” food. What does that even meanRead more
Welcome…
Let’s get REAL for a second. Let’s put aside ethics, morals, spiritual beliefs, etc. Of course those things matter immensely as we are all vegan (or at least flirting with the idea) and vegans care about these matters. BUT – being vegan ISN’T EASY. Anyone who tells you it is is LYING. It’s hard and sometimes very exhausting. But, the good news is… it DOES get easier every day. And the world is becoming more and more informed. And yourRead more
