Bread and Wine 

Food:

Charcuterie is chef Neil Jewell's passion, so a platter is a fantastic way to sample his saucisson and other cured meats. But he's no one-trick pony and there are always delicious, seasonally-inspired dishes on the menu – like a fragrant cassoulet with firm haricot beans, pork and slivers of sausage, or a creamy Jerusalem artichoke soup livened by a zesty lemon gremolata. Wife Tina Jewell's breads are the perfect accompaniment.

Wine:

Solely Môreson, since the cellar is less than a stone's throw away. Ample choice and selection by the glass.

Service:

Unfailingly friendly without being overly familiar. Superbly well trained and knowledgeable.

Ambience:

Recently revamped, the interior is French country kitchen style with rustic wood units, silver teapots and milk jugs slung from the chandeliers, and wire art on the back wall. The outdoor patio area is still fantastic for the obligatory long, lazy lunches on sunny days.

And...:

Don't miss the opportunity to browse the deli counter to take home some of Neil's charcuterie and other homemade produce. (FM, October 2011)

Had the most wonderful lunch here yesterday. Superb risotto, excellent service and relaxed ambience. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

A wonderful venue for lunch. The menu was delightful and unexpected. The service was good and sitting outside under the trees on a hot Summer's day was wonderful. The best lunch I have ever eaten!

Was so looking forward to trying this restaurant and finally managed to fit in a visit whilst in Cape Town. Ambience was good but food was not good at all. Has to be the worst steak I have ever eaten - not only overcooked but also poor quality meat. When we were asked if we enjoyed the meal, we mentioned that the steak was not good - only to be told that steak is not their best dish!
