SolStockIt’s sad that we often get to spend the least time with our supposed best friend. Between working long hours, sitting in traffic, running errands, doing school runs, making time for our girlfriends – the list goes on and on – we hardly ever get time for ourselves, let alone our pets.
And on weekends we usually want to head out for a nice meal (we didn’t have to prepare ourselves) at a nice place (where we don’t have to clean and do the dishes) for a nice time (where we don’t have to keep watching the clock).
So wouldn’t it be, well, nice, if we could combine this much-needed outing with spending some quality time with Fido? Well, now we can, thanks to this list of pet-friendly breakfast places in the Mother City.
1. Blonde&Beard, Muizenberg
