I finally got hold of someone, and they're not closed. The madame that answered the phone could only appologise, but had no explanation. They are open, and the Winter Special is on until the end of September....
OK, now let me tell you this. If you're going to go to the trouble of going there, then do it properly and get the 5 course deal. Just have lunch really early, or skip it altogether. That's for you to decide, what's not up to you, and what I am TELLING you to do is to take the 5 course menu, and between 2 of you, don't order the same things. Oh, it's R360 for the 5 course, including wine....
The one and only thing I can tell you not to have is the calve's liver, but I'm sure most of you would not have ordered that anyway. The Cheese Platter was fine, but you could give it a miss, it's just cheese, and alot of it at that.
The starters were all nice, but the Mushroom Cappucino soup was fantastic.
Of the mains I would say the Butterfish was amazing, the Beef very nice, and you've all heard me rave about the Confit Pork (if you don't fancy anything else on the menu, just order 5 of that, seriously - but there will be plenty on the menu that will get your mouth watering).
Desserts, Well we had the Choc Fondant with Poached Pear and Caramel Ice Cream, I wasn't too excited about it, I'm over the whole Choc fondant thing (that chocolate "cake" that always says 'please allow 20 minutes' on the menu and it comes to the table and everyone goes oooh aaah when you break it open and the chocolate comes oozing out? yeah? got it?). It's been done way too often, but my oh my, was I pleasantly surprised, this man must have a very different recipe, because this little thing was awesome, and the plate looked great, and the pear and ice cream... couldn't fault a thing. Someone at the next table had the Parfait, it looked really good too, I wish I had that instead of the cheese...
Hmmmm, is it too soon to go again?
