Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone.

Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

Sea Point, You Beauty ❤️
A love letter - and thank you to my hood 🇿🇦

When I moved to the Sea Point area, about 35 years ago, the suburb was… well, more than a little tired.

Main Road felt grimy, the buildings had lost their shine, and the area had clearly seen better days. And many crappy restaurants.

Fast forward to today and Sea Point has pulled off one of Cape Town’s great urban glow-ups.

Walk down Main Road (or Regent Road for the old-school locals) and it feels like a neighbourhood that has rediscovered its confidence. Cafés humming, restaurants buzzing, people strolling with their dogs.

And the food scene? It’s extraordinary.

Start the day with breakfast.

For bagels and breakfast classics, Kleinsky’s remains a Sea Point institution. Sonny & Irene and Zest are also consistently excellent.
Best Eggs Benedict in the area? My vote goes to Zest.

Then there’s Arthur’s Superette in Arthur’s Road - a wonderful little gem where pretty much everything on the menu is delicious. Their spicy sardines on toast are one of those beautifully simple dishes done so well that you keep thinking about them long after you’ve left.

For coffee lovers, Sea Point is spoiled for choice. Jarryd’s, Sonny & Irene, Bootlegger, Norfolk Deli and Naked Coffee all deliver consistently great cups. Vida still makes a great coffee too. And Woolies cafe in St Jonhn’s Piazza. Great, wholesome and simple food.

If you want breakfast, lunch, sunset drinks or tapas with one of the best views in the neighbourhood, Hugo’s is hard to beat. Their tapas are great, and they also have surprisingly good meeting rooms and boardrooms available for small gatherings and work sessions. I’ve used them before and they work beautifully.

Mojo Market is a vibe. Spans pretty much everything, from fresh oysters to fantastic chicken wings, live music and buzz.

Poke Co does a mean bowl as does 3 Wise Monkeys. Una Mas next door, delicious. Best ceviche in CT.

For excellent curry, Sundoo by Seelan. Pretty good samosas too.

If you’re looking for something sweet later in the day, the gelato scene is world class. Pino Penguino at Gelato Mania and Moro Gelato (pistachio my best) are both outstanding.

When it comes to lunch and dinner, the variety is remarkable.

Seafood lovers are well looked after. Zest and Luuma by Pavel are superb, with NV80 a very strong contender. Kiki for incredible but posh Greek 🔥 Cozco & Mykonos for comfort Greek 🇬🇷

For steaks, Brad’s is consistently excellent. NV80 & Zest both great for meat too.

If you want a proper chicken prego roll, Jarryd’s does a great one. And slightly outside Sea Point in Green Point, Mano’s still makes the best chicken or beef prego in Cape Town. As does Stepbrothers - also in the Green Point hood.

For burgers, Brash Burgers is the winner.

Pizza lovers should head to Ariel’s for a superb one. Or Stepbrothers. And Lievita at the Waterfront paddle courts - great pasta too.

If you haven’t been to Arlecchino (Tashas’ new spot), do yourself a flavour (typo intended). The prawn roll on brioche and the ceviche are fantastic.

For comfort food like latkes and salmon, falafel, or Turkish gözleme, Cooked is always a treat. Great traditional foods and nosh, Kleinsky’s again.
And just down the road in Bantry Bay, Amare recently served me one of the most delicious Chicken Limone dishes I’ve had in years.

Sea Point is also brilliant for takeaways. MAKE always delivers excellent Asian food, and Chef Chen does great sushi - in fact there are plenty of good sushi options around the neighbourhood.

And thanks to Uber Eats and Mr D, you can pretty much have anything delivered to your front door within minutes.

What’s also been remarkable is the role developers have played in bringing Sea Point back to life. Companies like Berman Brothers, Blok and Signatura, have added thoughtful, beautiful developments that have lifted the entire area.

They haven’t just built buildings. They’ve helped restore the neighbourhood’s energy 👏👏

Went deeeeepp on the memory industry in this report. No one used to want to cover memory, and now it is all the industry/supply chain wants to talk about.

Some juicy stats 😀
