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.

Review:

- Starter Portuguese sardines must have been from Portugal as it took long enough t arrive but it was worth it. Parmessan crusted hake was yum too!

- Mussel chowder was really good, no tuna unfortunately, but the mussel linguine was very nice & a big portion. Enjoyed it - will visit again.

- Gathry has a Gene Simmons tongue!!

- Norwegian camembert salmon was superb. I really enjoyed & the salad was excellent.

- Had - 16 same as above - all good except the dried up twigs they served it with -> twigs supposed to be leeks?

- Sushi was good. Spring rolls not that great, but not bad. Hake and chips was good value for money, and tasty!
