(observe the cunning use of the potentials category…)
Jo, me, and Hendrik and Sara were chatting the other day about some places to go and a few names came up.
Savoy Cabbage – “retro” site, but apparently the food is ace.
Haiku – eatout co za page. Expensive Asian tapas is the vibe, I think. Teh Wife has been there, though. P, thoughts?
Pigalle also came up, but in a more “it’s a place to go eat and dance” kind of way, so perhaps not Salty Cracker Club™ material…
In other news, place that came up in a conversation with Viola the other day: five flies.
The Five Flies menu looks yummy, but I’d be keen to do something not quite as agressively nouvelle for the next one, since the last two places have featured presentation/small portions/wildly creative flavours. I may become jaded. We can’t have that!
Also, we can’t go to Pigalle, they misuse an apostrophe in a plural.
(I may not be serious about this).
Re fiver: concur. I want to spread ‘em.
Ahem…
Re Pigalle: oh noe’s!
Ahem…
Five Flies may not be an issue, actually. It’s the EL’s pick next, so the question simply becomes where we’re having steak…
Heh.
He’ll have to raise the steaks to beat Nel’sons Eye.
Ahem…
Re steak: I hear Rondebosch Steers is to die for, dahling!
Unnatural man. Steers put cardboard in their milkshakes. Fact!
My client lunchings have taken me to Haiku. Asian gourmet fusion tapas, if I can coin a phrase.
The menu works on stars, or points, or something. Each star is something like R50, and meals have different numbers of stars, and there is no real distiction between starters and mains, and it’s very tasty but as far as I remember quite horrendously expensive.
Not that this would stop us.
