Baby it’s the weekend!
THE HERB FARM & BISTRO What we love: They have around 400 varieties of herbal plants and an outdoor educational facility and playground. You’ll die over their high tea private function offerings and picnic baskets too. Oh, and they’re organic wherever possible! Best for babe: Not only is there a 70-seater bistro on site for weekend visits, but your sprog can have their very own birthday extravaganza here because they cater for children’s parties. It’s important to mention that they have a kiddies’ holiday programme too, which is priced from R50 to R130 per session. 264 Summit Road, Blue Hills, Midrand m 083 556 5307 K www.herbfarm.co.za Q @herbfarmsa
Our top places to help you survive weekends with baby Some parents dread it, while others count down the hours. It’s completely acceptable to have a love-hate relationship with the weekends once you have a little one. We thought we would assist with cabin fever and create our very own baby bucket list on what to do in and around the city.
CASALINGA RESTAURANT What we love: The quality and calibre of food here is outstanding.Take your family to this exquisite location where you can either bask outside in the sunshine under the trees, take your little one to play on the playground, dine inside in the cool interior or picnic in the gardens. We recommend visiting on a Sunday where they serve a set menu at R380 per person, including a starter, main dish and dessert. You can also opt for an all-vegan menu and have a takeaway plate from the Leafy Greens marquee adjacent to the restaurant. Best for babe: You’ll so appreciate being outdoors under the flowing trees. Bring a play mat and a few toys and babe can be entertained all afternoon long whilst you wine and dine (minus the wine).

There’s a stunning barn restaurant where you can dine under the old oak trees and there’s no need to book. On Saturdays they serve an all-day farm fresh brunch buffet from 08h00 to 15h00. And did we mention that you can shop their local produce like eggs, milk, cheese, biscuits and all from local suppliers? Best for babe: If your babe is a glutton or gastronome, good news – all children under the age of five eat for free from the buffet all day long. There are awesome antique tractors to explore, state-of-the-art jungle gyms and farm animals too.
