Art on a plate

We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to quality local dining options and it seems like our dear Mother City is getting more and more recognition as a foodie destination of note. Just in time for the tourist season, Eat Out has announced its Top 10 restaurants of the year. I interview Eat Out Chef of the Year Scot Kirton of La Colombe to find out more.

In other top story news, I review the fine-dining Towers Restaurant at Crystal Towers, Daniel Dercksen has a rocking time at Queen - It's a Kinda Magic and the winners of the All Africa Music Awards are announced.

Tickets to Park Acoustics featuring Goldfish and next week's Kirstenbosch Summer Concert featuring Zonke Dikana are up for grabs!
