Main menu Skip to primary content Skip to secondary content Home Contact Home The End of an Era Alan has finally retired! Al’s Place Restaurant had its last trading day on Monday 28 September. The restaurant was sold and will be trading under new management and name soon. Finally, I have decided to “hang up my apron” after 46 years in the hospitality trade. During that time, I have been fortunate to own and work at 5 top-rated restaurants. The first restaurant was the ever-popular Pizza Place in Hof Street, Gardens. We started in April 1980 (April Fool’s Day!) and won the Appletiser Best Budget Restaurant Award. It was one of the first pizza restaurants in Cape Town and was famous for its thin-based pizzas. They were available in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large, with a choice of a white or wholewheat flour base. The second restaurant was Belvedere House in Claremont. It was a fine-dining restaurant that opened in 1986. It won a Diners Club Award and was rated in the top 10 restaurants in the Western Cape. It was also the first restaurant to have smoking and non-smoking areas. The third restaurant was Arlindo’s Seafood Restaurant at the V&A Waterfront. It opened in Quay 5 in November 1992. It was one of 15 restaurants selected for the opening of the V&A Waterfront. It was a Diners Club Award winner and specialised in seafood. It had fascinating décor that featured 5 “floating” fish tanks and relief sculptures “emerging” from the walls. The interior was by interior designer Francois. We were the first restaurant in Cape Town to feature a kitchen paging system. Every waiter had a pager that vibrated when needed in the kitchen to collect an order. Fourth was Al’s Place Restaurant in Rondebosch, which opened in 2010. It was well known for its steak, seafood, and traditiona
