    Plate Up! La Pineta – Stellenbosch – Cape Town

    Two strangers in town looking for a good dinner for a birthday celebration at a good restaurant in Stellenbosch, Cape Town – that was us! Luckily we found it before we landed via the internet – La Pineta. Off we drove from Bakoven to Stellenbosch – quite a round-trip –…
