This small restaurant at the very top of Kloof
Street in Oranjezicht was our next destination on Sunday morning. John could
not accompany Lynne and our friends, as he was guiding a wine tour to Stellenbosch for some
Americans and he missed something. Not only are there some
novel choices on the menu, the portions are some of the largest we have ever
been served
It is obviously popular. Many
tables were reserved and then filled. We arrived at 9.30 without a booking and
got a table immediately
The Vegetarian breakfast: Grilled
halloumi cheese on salad on a ciabatta slice, topped with two poached eggs and
some fresh tomato sauce. Not the first time our friend Loraine had ordered this
and she says it is superb
Ronnie ordered the parmesan
cheese encrusted Croissant filled with scrambled egg. It was a giant croissant -
this slice being about 20 cm long! Ronnie who is thin, has a huge appetite and
even he struggled. He loved it
Lynne decided to try something
different and ordered the Eiffel Tower breakfast. And it was huge. Three large
slices of eggy French toast, layered with bacon and slices of camembert cheese,
drizzled with what tasted like a thick balsamic grape drizzle and topped with
preserved figs. Very, very satisfying and enjoyable but she could not finish
all of it. The bacon was rather lean and the dish does need something a bit
wetter like some runny syrup or even some melted butter, which would make it
even more decadent. The coffee is good
The bill. None of us needed
lunch that day. This restaurant currently has 5 stars from Trip Advisor and Eat
Out and some very good reviews. Seems that people come for brunch after
climbing Table Mountain. Open from 7 am and it is an all day breakfast with
many brunch and lunch options. Lynne did feel that she was spotted by the
owner/ manager who looked a little perturbed. He has nothing to worry about
