The Eggs Benedict at Bistro 1682 at Steenberg estate. Frontrunner for the best Eggs Benedict in Cape Town in my book. The best in the country? You tell me otherwise. Served on the classic potato rosti, eggs softly poached and smothered in perfect Hollandaise. But what gives it the real edge? Yes, my swine-loving friends, it’s that pork belly bacon on the side. Not a rasher – a whole chunky piece of belly bacon glory thought up by chef Brad Ball though tasting like it’s sent straight from the Man above.

Oh. My. Jesus.
That is not real.
