A Dish and A Bev

One of my favourite winter sports is restaurant hopping.

I enjoy being ushered into a warm eatery. Whether I am solo or with loved ones, I relish anticipating the flavors I’m about to taste.

My tastebuds are extra attentive in the colder months, I’m sure there’s a scientific explanation somewhere about this.

If you like eating out and you happen to be in Pretoria, this is the article for you.
