Know a place?

We're genetically programmed to avoid places with bad water. So I dig up the dirt on the best and worst coffee around Cape Town and South Africa.
Been somewhere good? Got a new menu? Find DR on Facebook, leave a comment, and I'll don my hat and investigate.

Cucina Carolina, Strand, WC, ****

Cappuccino with crema (Danesi) R17
Superbly poured dessert of crema on a medium-light roast. Sweet overtones, mild chocolatey undertones, very good body for a medium roast.
An Italian/Dutch/French fusion menu, the best freshly squeezed juices (a bit pricey, but extra delicious and worth every rand), French macaroons and Italian tarts.
Stylish interior, friendly service, and a wonderfully accented hostess. If you're stranded in strand this is the place to land.
