We had a lovely experience at The Chef's table. The service was good, the food was delicious and it is a very beautiful restaurant.

On arrival, they serve these wonderful honey drizzled rolls with parmesan butter and a cumin hummus - marvelous.

For starters I had the Cape Yellowfin Tuna, which was deliciously fresh, while my husband enjoyed the variety of middle eastern flavours of the lamb belly on flatbread. My Midlands Pork as main course was utterly delicious. Unfortunately, the sirloin's fat on the Medium-rare wasn't cooked enough, however, the rest of the steak was good and the bearnaise probably the best ever.

We didn't have dessert. They have a good wine list and the wine cellar is impressive, although we found the wine rather pricy and they charge R150 corkage for a bottle of wine.

I will still highly recommend this restaurant and with the Restaurant week menu, one is spoiled for choice.
