Wombles Steakhouse Restaurant 

The menu, while not extensive, features retro items ranging from avocado Ritz to Crêpe Suzette. The Caesar salad is a generous mound of Iceberg lettuce and thick shavings of parmesan along with the anchovies, capers, croutons, bacon, hard-boiled egg and mayo dressing. Specials of the day may include smoked duck breast and citrus salad; steamed asparagus with lemon butter; a veal chop with grilled tomato and fried mushrooms; or fillet on the bone with porcini mushrooms, marrow bone and red wine sauce.

A large and comprehensive list, ranging from local heavyweights (like Laibach The Ladybird and Meerlust Rubicon) to Dom Pérignon 2000, and everything in between.

The knowledgeable and professional headwaiter moves between tables, ensuring guests are happy and cared for. He is ably supported by other staff.

Large round tables surrounded by mock Jacobean high-back chairs set the stage, while large heaters and leopard- and zebra-print blankets keep the cold at bay on the veranda. The elements of African safari in the décor could remind a little too much of a scene from Out of Africa.

Be prepared for the R150 minimum charge per person. (HF, October 2011)

What a nice experience! We decided Tuesday afternoon to go to the restaurant, phoned, found out that it was fully booked, but Graeme phoned me with a spot just before 8. We were greeted at the door on our names, taken to a table with very comfy chairs, had a bottle of De Toren Fusion V, and the most beautiful steaks ever! The place has a great atmosphere, service was excellent! Definitely a 10!
