We visited this restaurant recently, it was an OK experience.The food was good, lamb & risotto. Our feeling was that the restaurant is trying a little too hard to be excellent. Atmosphere was not relaxed a little starchy.My wife and I shared a bottle of wine, which was kept on a table at the end of the room, so we had to wait for our waitress each time we needed a top up, which was odd. We expected more from our evening, but it is ok.

The restaurant is like an African jungle! Each of the seats are really cosy and makes for fantastic photos and food. Tibs: This is the local speciality Ethiopian dish here. I tried the beef option and while the meat was not cooked to my perfect liking, the gravy was great with the Injera (dosa like) on the sideVeggie sampler: Just the perfect dish for a vegetarian as it comes with five small dishes and Injera on the side. All of them taste great, especially the one with lentils Moto chicken: Chicken cooked to perfection with spinach. Again goes great with InjeraCamille and Debbie served us and they were simply fantastic. Super friendly and helpful.

While staying at Hunters Country House we had a meal at Sage and one at Zinzi. Zinzi was nice , lovely setting, but we preferred the more personal service at Sage. Food was good. Bread and dips to start, then we had duck confit and a pork belly. Latter came with a terrible piece of crackling but mash was good. Nowhere in SA have I had crackling that is crispy. Too few carrots. Nice MCC wine and lovely Malva. Good but not as good as our previous night at Sage.

We had a delightful dinner in a gorgeous setting. Being a fussy eater it would take a lot for me to try new things. So glad that the smells from the kitchen entice a bite of every delicious morsel. The service was also lovely to suit a special evening.

Situated close to The Heads, the scenery is stunning. There are light blankets on all the outdoor seats to allow comfort of the weather is chilly. Attentive, friendly staff move quickly. Coffee is a local roasted blend and carrot cake fresh and nicely spiced. Cheese platter is good for a light meal; the smoked cheese is superb. The attention to detail is noticable! Well worth a visit.

Whenever we tried more than the basic South African food, we failed except here - this is a truly astonishing chef restaurant that is worth every Rand it costs (especially in August when the price is discounted...) Our main dish of Springbok was without any question the best dish we ate in South Africa. If you wish one more sophisticated culinary highlight in South Africa - go to Serendipity

Monica opened the restaurant exclusively for us and an Italian family for lunch. She served a buffet of cold and hot authentic South African dishes, several of which she learned from her mother, and with a fireworks display of flavors. Everything from vegetarian dishes to antelope and ostrich. Not fine dining, but really tasty South African food. Amazing atmosphere including an African marimba and drum group The restaurant is located in Langa township and taxis should be used.

I went to Mzansi with a massive group of fellow-students after doing a walking tour of the area. The food was AMAZING! Nothing like what I've tried before, but I'm so glad I did. Also, the story behind the place is amazing (but you'll have to go to hear it)!
