The Pot Luck Club, situated on the top floor of the Silo of the Old Biscuit Mill on Albert Road, Woodstock opened February 14th 2013. Since its opening day the pot luck has filled 2 sittings each night throughout high and low season, running to capacity of one hundred and twenty guests. It has been dubbed the coolest place to be in Cape Town and its success is based on innovative cuisine, served in a relaxed yet edgy environment in a part of Cape Town that has never attracted an evening dining crowd.
Gourmet Guide Description
Panoramic views of the Mother City from six storeys up in an old silo set the scene for some vibey dining. There’s the constant hum of happy palates as the chef brigade toils in the open kitchen. Ringside seats at the counter are something to aspire to. The friendly, intuitive service
reflects the fact that many of the front-of-house team have been in situ for longer than Jason.
Globally inspired, chef Jason Kosmas has a Greek father and Italian mother (and chef wife!) to thank for his ability to ensure full-bodied flavours on every plate. Lunches and dinners bring adventure seekers from all over the world. The legendary Sunday brunch (think bottomless bubbles, a Bloody Mary or two, live music and a series of plates boasting bodacious tastes) starts your sojourn with oysters, trout roe and a spicy dressing. For the vegetarian option, there’s baby corn on the cob. A lobster McMuffin, brioche with mushrooms, quail egg and hollandaise, and the curried lamb shank taco with parsnip cream and mint salsa all delight equally. The heirloom carrot with pistachio, labneh, and a sourdough naan makes hardened carnivores swoon.
But it’s a dish like the roast duck with a beetroot tart and dressed lettuce wedges that keep regulars happy. There remains a segment on the menu devoted to die-hard fans, called Family Favourites. Sweets may include a yummy guava malva pudding with chestnut ice cream
and Jerusalem artichoke crisps. These delicious root vegetables are preserved so that they can make a guest appearance out of season.
