I really like this place – a place with an extensive wine selection and a range of delicious dishes to compliment it. We started the evening with a selection of appetizers: pork belly with watermelon (top) – a lovely refreshing combination; dates wrapped in bacon on a bed of spicy dip (top left) – excellent melding of flavours; and corn marinated with a spicy lemon sauce – divine.

We followed this quickly with a selection from the “small plates” section. These were dishes that were slightly heavier than the appetisers but far less substantial than the “big plates” selection. We had the cheese platter that featured an excellent range from Europe; a spinach salad with sliced apples that was nice and light; duck rillets with grapes and crackers that was nice and smokey and a minced lamb with yoghurt and mint with flat bread that was very nice warm but became a bit soggy when cold. And we had wine of course. It was a smashing evening!
