Your excuse to rev up the romance is here – why not book a table for two at The Da Vinci for Thursday night and spoil your better half to a superb meal created by Chef Sylvester Nair and his team at The Maximillien Restaurant.

We caught up with the gorgeous TV presenter, celeb blogger and brand new mum, Roxy Burger, to find out more about where she loves to hang out in our beautiful city. Favourite Restaurant… I’m a sucker for GREAT sushi and dim sum, so my go to would have to be Koi in Sandton. When I was pregnant I craved a lot of salty and spicy foods, so soy sauce and wasabi were everything to me then, I could have drunken the soy sauce straight from the bottle. Favourite coffee spot… I recently had cake and coffee at Gabriella’s Tea Room in Parktown North (formerly the Pudding Shop) and it was decadent. Their food is delicious and there cakes are phenomenal too. I highly recommend their carrot and pineapple cake. Favourite Hotel… I would have to say the Saxon Hotel in Sandhurst.

We recently caught up with the incredible, rebounding, health and fitness guru, Lisa Raleigh. Lisa is full of energy and glowing beauty, she is just a total health and fitness inspiration for moms and busy ladies, but is also a veritable font of knowledge on health, wellness and nutrition. We caught up with her to find out more. Lisa how did you wind up in the health and fitness industry? I’ve always had a passion for wellness and helping people.

At school I was very sporty and when I wasn’t in the classroom, I spent most of my time focusing on Ballet, gymnastics and athletics where I got my Natal colours for running and I competed at SA…
Bartending as a career has really taken off, and competitions such as Protégé and World Class are providing platforms for talent to shine and helping to launch people like Julian Short, owner of Sin + Tax, into the limelight they so deserve. Julian’s highlight for the year is being able to support not one, but two salaried professional barmen at his establishment. His eyes light up when he says, “A few years back there was no way you’d have been able to make a career out of bartending in the South African bar industry as a mixologist.” Innovation is the key to Julian’s success, coupled with the growing range of seriously mixable, premium brands becoming available in South Africa. Reinventing the kitsch cocktails of the seventies and eighties using fresh ingredients that subtly enhance the handcrafted base spirits is resulting in a cocktail revolution in South African bars and restaurants.…
