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.

- Meat good! Potatie sides, need some work! but really yummy sirloin! Need pudding now...

- Can recommend the steak - they prepared mine exactly how I wanted it "medium to rare".

- Chicken skewers - nice & tender and very tasty. Baked potato & sour cream very nice.

- 200g fillet special was great, medium - rare was perfect!

- Steak was good - cooked just as I wanted it. Could have done with more vegetables.

- Wouldn't cook ribs - need a bigger grill. T Bone was great though.

- Hollandse biefstuk very good. Agree on more veg. I can get creamed spinach & butternut at the Spur.
