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.

- Lovely venue and loads of interesting places to walk around. Potato & leek soup absolutely lovely. enjoyed Eland burger.

- Very cool, different place. Food a bit bland.

- Nice place but oxtail was not good at all and pie was too bland.

- Lovely setting, well priced food. Big portions. Enjoyed the stay over as well. Can recommend the eland sausage at breakfast!

- Enjoyed the setting. Felt a bit guilty having the eland after seeing a few in the bush this morning. The eland burger with blue cheese sauce was great.

- Game pie was good. Good catching up with the group.

- Oxtail not tasty - very bland & only 2 boney pieces with little meat. Creme brulee - on the menu described a caramel topping but it was the normal caramelised sugar on top, I was expecting something different!

- Pesto pasta - good. Choc torte - delish!

- Ben: It is good!

- Happy Birthday Keegan!
