    A very special place! A group of eight people; everyone enjoyed their meal - a wide choice. There is special vegan menu - chef had gone to the trouble of making vegan butter 🌼

    Really disappointed with the food offering - extremely average baked chicken pieces with a bad mix of hot and cold side dishes. What happened to the lady chef from Cape Town that we had heard sbout? To have a (poorly cooked & presented) set lunch with no alternative options or choices is rather cheeky - especially st R400pp! Not good.
