Oops, been a while since the actual eatings. So, http://www.fiveflies.co.za/. In a very cool, many-roomed, many-bar-ed (although we just went for din-dins), big ole building in the middle of town is Five Flies. I’ve heard varying things, mostly since going there, about the snootiness of the staff. We had a great experience – our waitress [...]

Wasabi Review
Woo! The slightly last minute choice to do Cracker at all this month, and the choice of venue, seemed to work out well. Wasabi (official site, @ eat out, @ dining-out) in Constantia Village was great. I’m trying to keep Japanese-ish themes for my picks and not (just) sushi joints as I realise that not all [...]

Cargills
Review to follow shortly. Possibly a collaborative one by Jess, Jo and Steve.
Fujiyama review
Or, A Tale Of Two Restaurants It was the best of Crack, it was the worst of Crack. No, wait. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a Salty Cracker. Uh… no. This is not a review of Kubo’s Little Japan [...]
