Adventures in Blouberg

We decided to try something different this last weekend, and went out to Blouberg.  My friends and I hardly venture to that side of Cape Town, which I think is a shame.  This part of Cape Town is beautiful with some amazing restaurants so close to the ocean.

We started our adventures with Blue Peter, only to realise that it wasn’t a good time and there were no tables available.  We decided on our next option which was Saints Burgers.  I have to say this place is amazing. It surpassed all my expectations.

Saints Burgers do really good gourmet burgers, however they have a wide range of other dishes.  There cocktail menu is quite extensive and so yummy.  Saints have a rock and roll theme, from the music, to the decor and the names of their dishes.  They have inside and outside seating with a well placed Cape Town yellow picture frame to capture the stunning view of Table Mountain.  

The service and food was really good.  Their burgers come with a variety of sides and sauces, and makes for a very filling meal.

From Saints we headed back to Blue Peter thinking we would have a cocktail on the grass.  Even though the sun was out, the wind was pumping and as we were all chilled we decided on hot chocolate instead.  We got some strange looks since we weren’t drinking alcohol but their hot chocolate was pretty good.

Blue Peter is pretty chilled, with kids and dogs running around on the grass.  It’s got more of a pub vibe with a pretty good view.  However, we were disappointed in the service we received.

All in all it was a pretty good day out, having some new experiences and kicking off summer in a good way.
