Monthly Dinner Club

This is a blogspot which will serve as a Restaurant Review for our Monthly Dinner Club. We are based in Cape Town and have visited restaurants since January 2001. Each month, one of the Organisers selects a new restaurant with the only rule being that it is not allowed to be a venue that the Monthly Dinner Club or one of the Organisers have frequented before.

This was the write up that was in The Big Issue: "Think: Mediterranean Love: Buffet Meal Baran's is a dining experience with a twist. The selection of meals ranges from Mediterranean to Kurdish cuisine and the local flavours of home cooked meals. You can enjoy a 3 course buffet consisting of homemade naan bread, mezes, lamb, seafood and chicken, slow cooked in clay pots, and traditional eastern dessert platters. This authentic Mediterranean cuisine creates the perfect ambience together with the comedy, live music and theatre nights, which makes it a superb setting to enjoy your meal and have fun."
