It only costs a very small amount of money to take a drive to the other side of town and treat yourself to a generous morning of relaxation with a friend. Becoming a tourist in your own city is one of the best things you can do. No matter which city of the world you are resident, there will be a spot you have yet to discover. Anne posted this on Facebook which just says it perfectly…
So we didn’t take the bus but Riana and I did set off for Tamboerskloof to find The Blue Cafe which apparently carries some Banting options. I’ve mentioned before that Mike & I spent 6 months in the area right after we were married. The Blue Cafe building has been a landmark in the area (13 Brownlow Road) for about 111 years, so it’s well known. It has a colourful history, some of which you can read on their menu.
It is not huge and rambling, but it is beautifully nestled high up in Tamboerskloof with Table Mountain as a magnificent backdrop…
Once inside, you are greeted with cute simple decor…
I don’t know if it was Banting, but it was gluten free and certainly tasted high in nuts with dark chocolate and it was absolutely delicious…
I know! You want one immediately!
The cappuccino was equally as good…
After our ‘tea’, we walked around the area, admiring the beauty of the tree-lined streets…
Beautiful old architecture…
And quaint hillside town-houses…
It was a beautiful break in what has been a busy week. It’s good for us to take care of ourselves.
Go be a tourist in your own city!
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
Most important is that it is well with our soul!
God bless you!
