Our highlight of the year so far has to have been a visit to Gold Restaurant in Cape Town… it is one of our absolute favourite family outings – EVER… and we were thrilled to be invited for dinner again. It has been years since we visited Gold Restaurant, but firm favourite in family outings over here.

The truth about Gold is that it is not just dinner out, but a whole dining experience… we were welcomed into a drumming lesson and immediately took me back… to when the kids were all small!!!
