Inspiring country cuisine at Tebaldi’s

Tebaldi’s offers a contemporary country cuisine menu curated around what’s available closest to the restaurant. You’ll find salad leaves and herbs from a permaculture project in the village, free-range eggs and chickens from down the road, free-range pork from Swellendam, and cheese and dairy from Ashton. The menu is short and constantly changing, according to what is freshest. Mead-glazed chicken breast, confit chicken and roasted artichoke, and Kalahari flank steak are just some of the delicious items to choose from. The menu is designed for you to linger over two to four savory dishes for a leisurely meal or just savory and sweet for a quick lunch.

Airbnb Under Fire: How Cape Town’s Housing Crunch Became a Tourism Blame-Game

Cape Town’s housing woes are NOT really Airbnb’s fault, even though a viral photo tried to blame them! The real problem is that not enough homes are being built, and lots of new people are moving to the city. Getting building permits takes forever, making homes expensive. Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
