    food was delicious, however the plates of food are tiny but the prices are exorbitant for such a tiny tasting plate. Staff trying their best & restaurant was not very busy and the food took forever to come. All left feeling hungry but cost was high.

    Little Fox, the La Colombe Group’s newest opening, shows promise just days into service, with flashes of genuine culinary finesse alongside some inevitable early-stage growing pains. The flavours are unquestionably the highlight: the tuna small plate was beautifully handled, the brussel sprouts unexpectedly nuanced, and the springbok impeccably prepared with an indulgent, finger-licking smoked jus. There is clear technical skill in the kitchen. That said, expectations are inevitably heightened at this price point. With small plates ranging from R295 to R495 (four petite wagyu medallions) and a recommendation of two to four dishes per person, the experience positions itself firmly in the ultra-premium category. Whether the overall dining experience can consistently justify this level of pricing may only become clear as the restaurant settles into its stride. For now, diners should be prepared for some painful teething. Service was a tale of contrasts. We waited over 40 minutes for our food, needed to request water top-ups, and asked for blankets as the air conditioning made the dining room uncomfortably cold. An initial greeting while we were still some distance from the restaurant felt slightly unpolished. However, our waitress Gemma was willing and gracious, and manager Coby offered exemplary, thoughtful oversight that meaningfully elevated the evening. In summary: exquisite flavours, strong leadership on the floor, and clear potential - with operational refinement and sharper value alignment likely to see Little Fox, formerly La Parada on Constantia Nek, become a sought-after dining destination.

    Little Fox arrived on a wave of hype, buoyed by Foxcroft nostalgia and promises of a global, produce-driven small-plates experience. We came hopeful. We left hungry. From the start, the evening felt off-kilter. A nervous hostess warned us she would “try” to find menus, which set the tone. The wine list landed first, featuring eye-watering markups on deeply ordinary bottles. A Steenberg MCC at R780, when far better bubbles sit just down the road, felt less curated and more cynical. Food menus arrived late and incomplete. Snacks followed. Wagyu fat fries with all the romance of a damp cardboard box, limp and joyless, and cocktail-sized oysters that barely registered. Nearly an hour later, five plates arrived simultaneously. They were meant for sharing, apparently, but by then they were already cooling their heels. Portions are shockingly small, fussy, and over-garnished, with prices that border on parody. A Brussels sprout “okonomiyaki” bore only cosmetic resemblance to the Japanese classic. Six halved sprouts do not a pancake make. Asparagus at R265 amounted to five skinny spears, still weeping water onto the plate. Calamari was soft and tepid. The seared tuna could not have cleared 90 grams. Two bites per person does not constitute sharing. It constitutes a hustle. Service was scattershot at best. A simple beer took half an hour and multiple reminders. Mandatory tipping felt tone-deaf given the performance. The room itself is awkward and cold. Tables are too close, lighting is harsh and undimmed, pot plants are wilting, and bathroom taps require written instructions, which is never a good sign. We left after 2.5 hours, poorer, irritated, and still hungry enough to cook again at home. Little Fox feels less like a serious restaurant and more like a glossy pit stop for red-bus tourists. All sizzle, no supper.
