There's a cocktail revolution on in Joburg -- bartenders are becoming more and more like chefs. Here are five of the best cocktail bars in town.

AFRIKOA is a combination chocolate cafe, coffee shop, and champagne bar at the Keyes Art Mile, with just the right combination of earthiness and luxury.

I love cheese and I've spent the past couple of months investigating some of the best places to buy it in Joburg. Here are five of my top choices.

I was invited to dinner at Urbanologi, to try out their new #Project150 menu. I was reminded why this is without a doubt my favorite downtown restaurant.

Chips are an integral part of South African food culture. TJIPS, which plays on the local pronunciation of "chips", takes chip culture to a whole new level.

I tried out Coalition Pizza's Kitchen Table experience at their shop in Pineslopes. I will never see Marherita pizza the same way again.

On Van Riebeek Ave., amist the hair-braiding salons and car stereo shops, is a Dutch wooden windmill, home to De Backery and De Molen Pancake House.

Yukon House, a beautiful historic mansion in the old Jozi suburb of Bezuidenhout Valley, is one of Joburg's best secret places to have afternoon tea.

Artivist is a bar/restaurant/art gallery/music venue on the coolest secret street in Braamfontein. If you like art, food, cocktails and music: Go.

The seventh installment of "My Favorite Jozi Coffeeshops" features Loof Coffee, a fantastic coffee and breakfast spot in Norwood.

My review of O' Peri Peri, a family-owned Portuguese restaurant in Edenvale on Joburg's East Rand. Don't go there unless you're starving.

I spent a weekend in a cottage at Brahman Hills, a beautiful and quirky lodge and spa just off the N3 Highway in the Natal Midlands.
