The Pot Luck Club, situated on the top floor of the Silo of the Old Biscuit Mill on Albert Road, Woodstock opened February 14th 2013. Since its opening day The Pot Luck Club has filled 2 sittings each night throughout high and low season, running to capacity of sixty guests per seating. It has been dubbed the coolest place to be in Cape Town and its success is based on innovative cuisine, the small plate sharing concept served in a relaxed yet edgy environment in a part of Cape Town that previously never attracted an evening dining crowd.

Gourmet Guide™ Description

Panoramic views of the Mother City from six storeys up in an old silo set the scene for some vibey dining. There’s the constant hum of happy palates as the chef brigade toils in the open kitchen. Ringside seats at the counter are something to aspire to. The friendly, intuitive service
reflects the fact that many of the front-of-house team have been in situ for longer than Jason.

Globally inspired, chef Jason Kosmas has a Greek father and Italian mother (and chef wife!) to thank for his ability to ensure full-bodied flavours on every plate. Lunches and dinners bring adventure seekers from all over the world. The legendary Sunday brunch (think bottomless bubbles, a Bloody Mary or two, live music and a series of plates boasting bodacious tastes).

But it’s a dish like the roast duck with a beetroot tart and dressed lettuce wedges that keep regulars happy. There remains a segment on the menu devoted to die-hard fans, called Family Favourites. Sweets may include a yummy guava malva pudding with chestnut ice cream and Jerusalem artichoke crisps. These delicious root vegetables are preserved so that they can make a guest appearance out of season.

    Best meal we’ve had in ages la a carte, they’ve converted us! I’ll be honest, my wife has never been a fan of Potluck. She always thought the food was “okay” and nothing special. Well, that all changed last night. The crispy fish sliders kicked us off, normally the fish isn’t crispy, but these were spot on. Then came the crayfish special and wow… perfectly cooked, sweet, tender. Absolute winner. The cauliflower sliders were just as good, who knew cauliflower could steal the show? The Korean BBQ squid with Cape Malay spices completely blew us away. Insane flavour, tender, and that Cape Malay twist made it unforgettable. Only note: the Broccoli Penang was extremely spicy and acidic. It needed something to soften the acidity, but the flavours were still there. We ended with the Peanut Butter Bomb dessert and it was a crowd pleaser. Rich, decadent, gone in seconds. Service was flawless. Our waiter was attentive without hovering, knew the menu, and timed everything perfectly. Potluck, you’ve won us over. We’ll be back next week. 5/5

    I think they have changed the things since we first went a few years back. It is very expensive so maybe for a special occasion I might recommend it.
