NO, YOU WON’T GET HIGH FROM THE CBD

CBD is known for its calming effects, and can help reduce anxiety and pain. From tapas and starters to mains and desserts, Infusion on Long’s menu boasts a variety of cuisines thanks to the three chefs’ varied tastes: Johnathan Le Roux loves Italian cuisine, Gerswin Jacobs enjoys street food, and Preston Hendricks opts for Asian.

Mains options include a succulent beef fillet for only R150, a 600g rack of ribs for R160 (with chips and onion rings), and a juicy cheeseburger for R95, along with a range of other intriguing dishes on the menu. You’ll be blown away by the desserts, not only because of how good it tastes, but also because it looks almost too good to eat. There are space-cake brownies with orange-peel candy, “half pound” ice cream sundae, or hotbox apple and custard tart. Cape Town’s trendy Infusion on Long gets creative with cannabis
