Sunday Brunch, But Make It Marble There’s something about the word “event” in Cape Town. Mention it, and suddenly everyone is ready to leave the house. Personally? You’re going to have to do better than that. Mention a 10 km hike and you’ll lose me immediately. Mention brunch, though, and you have my full attention. It’s essentially the human equivalent of opening a tin of tuna for your cat. So when an invitation to Marble Cape Town’s Seven Colours Sunday Brunch landed in my inbox, I was sold. A rainy winter Sunday, one of Cape Town’s most celebrated restaurants and a menu inspired by one of my favourite things in the world: a proper South African Sunday table? Say less. The idea behind Seven Colours is simple in the best possible way. Each brunch takes inspiration from a different colour and spotlights a local artisan from The Watershed, bringing great food and local creativity together around one table. It’s proudly local, and rooted in something South Africans understand instinctively: food has never just been food. It’s how we gather, celebrate, grieve, gossip and make room for one more person at the table. As luck would have it, mine was the green edition, which felt suspiciously appropriate. Being a Green girl, I added a few subtle green touches to my outfit. The theme said green, I said understood.
