One of the great things you’ll notice when visiting Cape Town is the low cost of eating out. Especially the cost of delicious, tender red meat. Oh yes, there’s something sublime in the texture and flavour of beef raised in the vast and oftentimes grassy expanses of South Africa. A return flight on KLM from Manchester, the benchmark departure point for global jet travel analysis, can be got for £679, ZAR16000 (hold luggage included) in August 2024. That’s only 2.26 Glastos or 7.52 x 10^(-8) Davos. Not a bad upfront cost to gain unfettered access to the firmament of outlets plying their generally delicious dishes of including-but-not-limited-to meat.
Here’s what RCT collaborators, Di and Gazza, had today at Willows Caffè at Willowbridge Centre after spending Sunday morning driving around looking for track mounted spotlights for a Mouille Point apartment. In their words: “Now having lunch after shopping. Gazza Portuguese steak, ribeye. Me beef strip salad….” Residential lighting engineering is not for soy boys.
The Portuguese steak cost ZAR179 (£7.55) and the beef strip salad ZAR128 (£5.43), that’s well below even Wetherspoon level pricing.
