Suitable for vegans

I’ve had an eye on this establishment via Zomato for almost a year. I’ve also driven past but somehow the photos on Zomato and the outside of the restaurant/cafe just didn’t draw me in.

Today however we took a chance and decided to give it a try, after first taking a reccie before going in.

What a fantastic find and surprise it turned out to be. The owner Beulah, has an eye for the unusual and for detail. It reflects in the layout and decor. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into everything. The book theme permeates throughout, right down to a wonderful book on the table and another that had the bill enclosed in it. There is a very comfy and warm and relaxing atmosphere and the tables are well spaced out. There is a small outside patio and the inside consists of different partitions and levels, and a section of beautiful wooden floor.

Our waitress was, unfortunately for us, brand new and struggled to answer our questions about the menu. She did however get someone to help her plus she was friendly and pleasant.

I ordered their gourmet cheese burger. I thought it was a bit pricey at R95 but it did have a side salad and chips. The meal was served on a wooden platter board and the presentation was extremely inviting. We eat first with our eyes and I couldn’t wait to tuck into this 8 inch high burger. The crisp, fresh and firm salad had a delicious dressing and the chips had a more’ish chip spice on them.
The burger bun was lightly grilled and the patty perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed the juicy and yummy burger.

My wife had a chicken & bacon salad with a very cute home cooked bran mini loaf, accompanying it. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

My daughter had a mini kiddies burger and chips off the kiddies menu.

To end off I had a double espresso and that was the weakest element of the otherwise great meal. I think a bit more investigation could go into serving the perfect size, strength and quantity of espresso. Also a smaller espresso size teaspoon would be better.

Overall we felt welcomed and relaxed at this local neighbourhood establishment and had a really well presented and tasty meal. Like a said, a great find!!

We will definitely go back to try some of the other options on the menu and sit back and chill.
