Lunch at the Foodbarn

four of us chose to eat from the special menu, which is written on the blackboard,

an absolute bargain with three courses for R165, four courses for R185 and five courses for R215. All starters and main courses are paired with Nitida wines, which are included in the price, making this menu exceptionally good value. One wishes that photographs could convey flavour, but the beautiful presentation is a good sign of the wonderful flavours. John and Scott started with the fish tartare,  in a savoury balsamic based sauce

and John followed this with the kingklip and calamari dish, which was in a delicious saffron flavoured broth

Scott had the kidneys and was full of praise for the flavour.

Martin and Diane started with the salad
and followed with the quail,

while Debbie chose to have just one dish, a beautifully prepared rare sirloin.

We all finished with the Pear and apple galette

After lunch we went next door for a tasting of Cape Point Wines and a bracing uphill stroll through the high altitude vineyards with winemaker Duncan Savage - just what we needed
