With a daily menu scrawled on wads of paper pinned to a lecturer's easel, you're in for a relaxed down-to-earth time. Like the menu, the décor is innovative. Chunky kitchen tables form a base for hardy recycled glassware. Bowls of fruit lend colour like splashes of paint on a canvas. The white walls are offset by black slate tiles, and candles highlight the South African art works which abound. The fare is delectable – try the aubergine and sherry soup and the absolutely wonderful tomato and olive tart, with capers and caramelised onions. A favourite of many, is the white mould cheese and figs stuffed with walnuts, poached in red wine with citron. There is no wine available, so bring your own. (But note that this is in Franschoek! The pick of the region's wines are available in various wine shops in the main road.)
