Food Scene
The BEST Sicilian pizza. Michelin-recommended. A bit pricey yet worth it! Note: when they deliver, they don't slice the pizza!!! So it's better to eat in.

My favorite wine bar, and I own a wine shop! Michelin-recommended South African food. Excellent wine! Their signature dessert, the Malva Cake, is phenomenal! The owner, Suzaan, is a friend, so if she's there, definitely tell her I sent you! Enjoy!
