The special R300 for two mains and a bottle of wine or beer
About the restaurant We never need a reason to visit this heaving hotspot on Loop Street, but if we did, the Tuesday special is it. For just R300, you can enjoy two mains and a bottle of wine or a litre of beer. So, bring your gran, bestie or hot new date, and tuck into a hearty meal before enjoying a game of pool afterwards.

About the restaurant Situated within a state-of-the- art building at Glenelly Estate, this hidden gem is owned by chef-patron Christophe Dehosse, who together with head chef Alex Rykaart concocts superb French-inspired dishes that guests can enjoy within the warm, elegant interiors.
On chilly days, it’s rather nice to cosy up to the fireplace, or gather in the lovely wine-tasting area above the restaurant; but if the sun is out, sit at one of the long wooden tables on the outside deck under the pergola, and enjoy beautiful views of the vineyards and surrounding hills while treating yourself to their two- or three-course winter set menu. Dishes change regularly but could include braised pork cheeks with butter beans; hake and tarragon mousse; and a honey poached pear and chocolate tart.
When Tuesday – Saturday, 11.30am – 2.30pm
Friday – Saturday, 6.30pm – 8.30pm
Special valid until 31 August 2019
