Hot damn do I love a change in seasons. No, not just because it means I can swap out one wardrobe for another, but because La Mouette comes up with the magic below. Their Summer Tasting Menu is, as per usual, magnificent. Fresh, lively and full of little surprises, the perfect celebration of Cape Town summer.
And remember, check them out on Facebook and Twitter for way more deliciousness.
