Funtastico – Fourways is a little gem and probably the most unassuming restaurant I’ve ever stepped foot in. (Not the decor I might add)

What a find! I’m still getting over the wow factor of this establishment and we went 2 weeks ago. Now that’s saying something surely.

The owner of Funtastico really does know what he’s doing. Even making a reservation was a pleasurable affair. We were greeted by the owner/chef patron on arrived and from there were taken care of by his very friendly and capable staff.

We had booked a table of six and were placed at a beautifully laid table in the middle of the restaurant. Perfect spot to take in all the memorabilia that covered the walls and parts of the ceiling. It quite literally was a visual onslaught. But done very tastefully.

The menu offers a great variety to such an extent that choosing a dish became quite a task. But I settled on the prawn bisque to start, followed by the veal marsala. Both dishes were prepared to perfection. In fact not a bad thing could be said about a single meal around our table.

For dessert I opted for the Italian kisses. Purely because they reminded me of my childhood and no visit to our local steakhouse was complete without a portion of kisses. And they didn’t disappoint.

Funtastico is so well worth a visit. Their prices are very reasonable for the area and the service is on point. Look out for their attention to detail. Every dish is served and plated beautifully.

All in all a great experience. The food was simply delicious and the family was quiet. A rare moment…
