Pot Luck Club's Prix Fixe is a winter treat without the wallet freeze
Cape Town is awash with swanky restaurants and fine dining options. This winter, however, The Pot Luck Club Cape Town - the one with the panoramic views and cult-like fan base, is serving up generous prix fixe menus, showing that fine food doesn't have to mean out of reach.
With two options to choose from, either the Prix Fixe Lite (six plates) or the Prix Fixe Loaded (eight plates), it serves up beautifully bold small plates designed to be shared- or not, we're not judging. The flavour intensity and flair are also exactly what you'd expect from a Luke Dale Roberts kitchen.
Pot Luck Club's winter prix fixe lineup makes room for all the firm favourites - from those plump fish sliders that come with that miso mayo–mojo dressing combo through to the rich, fall-apart situation of the pork Penang belly. And don't sleep on the chickpea, goat's cheese, and parmesan fries, basically a cheesy, crunchy miracle with truffle aioli on the side. But the real headline? That Café au Lait sauce that haunts our food dreams. Honestly, it's the whole deal, whether over mushrooms or a beef fillet.
Cape Town's lunch-only Lite' version is R550pp; the 'Loaded' experience - eight decadent plates of culinary magic—is R795pp.
This is bite-sized luxury worth braving the cold for. Savour it with someone who deserves a proper treat, like dad, this coming Father's Day.
📍The Pot Luck Club
📅 Prix fixe menus available from until 30 Sept 2025

And if you're in the mood to go full maximalist? Their Sunday Brunch is also back with ten courses, bottomless bubbly, and a DIY Bloody Mary bar. It's adding more bang to Cape Town's brunch scene in a deliciously, unhinged way (@ R1250pp, brunch never looked so boujee).

Boots knocks 50% off designer scent dads wear 'all the time'
'My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice' Boots shopper are snapping up a half price fragrance in time for Father's Day and it has rave reviews.

I've worn it several times now and I get at least 3 compliments every time! Highly recommend!" A disappointed shopper found the longevity lacking, penning: "I want to love it. It has a great scent. It's on par for what I like. My biggest gripe is that it fades fast. I out this on around 8am and by noon you can barely tell. Unlike the others I have that last all day. If it lasted longer I give it five stars."

For those looking for a more impressive finish we would advise spraying each pulse point at least once.

Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women. The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish. The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house. For the dads who love a mix of notes in their fragrance, then another deal worth looking into is on the Gucci Guilty Essence Pour Homme (90ml) that is now on offer at The Perfume Shop for £44.99, down from £97. Another unisex style fragrance is Calvin Klein's CK One, which was the first to be marketed as such. Mixing earthy and fresh notes, shoppers can bag a large 200ml for just £32.50, down from £74, on Amazon. However, shoppers keen to know more about Versace's The Dreamer EDT will be happy to hear it has earned a 4.6 rating and 91 percent recommendation rate from Superdrug shoppers, as they say it is a "truly unique" scent.

If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle. There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad. Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Someone else remarked: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money." The longevity and less intense nature of the fragrance have been mentioned as a couple of drawbacks, with one three-star review read: "Decent scent once you get accustomed to it. Longevity is somewhat disappointing, given the price and brand." By comparison, someone praising the longevity said: "Pleasant, not overpowering smell. Found it lasts longer than many others i have tried. I really like it."
