Reviews from previous Liquorice & Lime café patrons

“The ambiance, service and food are fantastic. Very friendly and inviting from the outside. The owner is wonderful and he makes the best Chicken Pies in Cape town to name one item,” wrote Connector19002760117 on their TripAdvisor page.

Freedom52909253898 added; “The best breakfast I have ever had – Hands down! The food, the service, the waiters AND the owner were fantastic… We felt so comfortable and welcomed… Well done 2 this restaurant. Loved it. P. S Get their freshly baked goodies… I took a ton…”

“Our group of 7 came here just before closing and were greeted so politely! The food was all delicious! I had a roast chicken sandwich/toastie with crisps, the chicken was so moist and flavorful and the sourdough bread just delicious! My friend is vegetarian and got one of their soups of the day and was just blown away by its deliciousness and portion size! My husband ordered a burger and a soup and was stunned at the size and pretty presentation of the delicious burger, he took the soup home and enjoyed it later! Our group had a soda bottle bubble over making a mess on the floor and we were so embarrassed, the server came and cleaned it up so quickly and didn’t make our friend feel bad or give any attitude, which was so nice. If you’ve ever had a spill at a restaurant it’s embarrassing and you feel bad, but here, they made it feel like no big deal and were so gracious. Only wish we could have had more time on our trip to eat there repeatedly! Excellent!” said Alicia239.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
