It was only a matter of time before the Giggling Gourmet (aka Jenny Morris) opened a restaurant and actualised her need to feed as many people as possible. Her warmth, passion for good-quality fresh ingredients and love of travel are evident in her ever-popular (and ever-changing) KiloTable, which spills over with a variety of the TV chef’s mouthwatering dishes. I couldn’t get enough of the brinjals topped with hummus and sesame seeds, the Asian beef salad, Jenny’s spiced-to-perfection bobotie and her mushroom lasagne.

The latest addition to the slew of Bree Street restaurants is “a bar, a resto and a hangout place,” says Marco Picone, who co-owns the late-nate venue with Niki Bjorn Reschke. One of the very few restaurants in Cape Town to serve food after 10pm, it’s the perfect place to grab a prego while experiencing the Mother City’s nightlife. The concise yet varied menu is divided into four sections – burgers, salads, pizzas and café style – each of which has a handful of interesting options. The bar stays open until 2am from Thursdays to Saturdays.

As befits a place like this, the bill of fare is full of high flavour appeal, generous portions and plenty of visual come-and-get-it. Starters include delicious calamari in two sizes (heads and tails deep fried, served with real aioli with lots of garlic) and tempura prawns (peeled, tails on, and served with crunchy cucumber “spaghetti” – how do they do that?) and a rich sweet-chili version of the aioli to dip it all into. Irresistible.
The burgers are the pièces de résistance: hefty hulk-size things with a 200g chicken or beef patty and excellent skinny frites. They range from a burger called The Stepchild – with red onion, lettuce and tomato – through to one with truffle-infused mushroom sauce, and then the Triple Bypass with bacon, cheese and mushroom; each one is a meal on its own.
Steaks (sirloin and fillet) are dry-aged for 40 days and can be enjoyed with or without sides. The difference between medium-rare and medium seems to be elusive, but the steak is delicious. Pizzas are skinny-based, with the offering including a gluten-free base at an extra charge. The baked cheesecake is the way to end it all.
