Helping my memory once again:
Café in Gardens: The Gardens make a nice environment, but the food is nothing to write home about. I still managed to get the milkshake I couldn’t have the other day.
Cape Town Fish Market: It’s a chain of fish restaurants with a decent reputation. The night we were at their Stellenbosch branch, things were very good. Nice starters (prawn tempura, tuna/salmon sashimi, Squid) and really good pieces of kingclip.
Kauai: ‘Alternative’ fast food chain with interesting burgers and plenty of healthy/veggie stuff available. Nice smoothies as well.
Spurs Steak Ranch: Not a particularly fancy place for eating out. Even a bit tacky with their decorations and a choice many people laugh about. Yet, they have good meat, good steaks and those fantastically thin onion rings on the side. The spare ribs aren’t bad either.
Fairview: Wine farm with a taste for cheese. They have a tower with goats living in it and a nice option to sample cheeses for lunch.
Cognito: Nice restaurant with a menu written by a marketing freak (too many exciting adjectives in there). The chicken liver with coriander as a starter was good and so was the rooibos flavoured crème brulée for dessert. Just the main dish – lamb with a sauce that allegedly had to do with rosemary along with sweet potatoes was disappointing.
