Comments: 

- Hangover Boerie was great, loved the caramelised pineapple.

- Arrive early as parking is a problem in this area!

- Bustling, vibey spot. Nice & cool with the open doors. Service super fast. Worthwhile to have more than 15 people to book a table. Pure sophistication boerie roll was lovely! Great concept.

- Veggie vibe was very tasty but could do with a little more sauce. Overall vibe is great!!

- Coming from Gauteng where you find boeries on every pub corner, this is fresh and something different, really worth it!

- Please add a meaty roll onto your menu, more meat, less bun.

- Love the decor, good service and good coffee!

- Good vibe and nice concept of traditional boerie roll. Decor is great with friendly service.

- Hangover boerie was really good. Had to remove from the roll half way through & just finish the wors and sauce!

- Enjoyed a hangover for the first time ever: usually they just suck.

- First time we have been to monthly dinner and paid R200 for the 2 of us, great value for money!

Comments: 

- We started off in the Whiskey bar with some delicious cocktails. Mine was a winner! I ordered the Spring Break that had elderflower syrup and ginger ale. 

- Morae Campher took us on a tour of the restaurant – superb! 

- Duck Confit was good but not the best duck I have had. 

- Veggie Meal (butternut) was very, very good. Don Pedro not as good as Barbosa’s, but still good. Love the restaurant, very stylish and ‘chic’. 

- Beef carpaccio was superb and so was the martini. Clam spaghetti with a touch of chilli tried to burn my tonsils outJ Chocolate fondant was good. 

- Spring rolls really nice and spicy. Meat nice and tender & coffee really good. 

- Lovely venue and staff very friendly & entertaining. Spicy calamari starter and rump for mains – excellent. Definitely worth a visit. 

- Our waiter, Chris, had a ‘killer’ sense of humour – brilliant! My vanilla soufflé dessert was not as I expected it to be but it was yummy!!
