Cavallis Everyday Gourmet menu is all about celebrating real food that nourishes and excites.

Putting a contemporary, inventive spin on classic dishes, we grow our own seasonal herbs and have many vegetable varieties grown from seed and cuttings. As the first Green-star rated restaurant in South Africa, we treasure the beauty of our natural heritage.

We simply believe in eating delicious, fresh, whole foods prepared in a way that honours the seasons. We want our food to be the kind that people enjoy not just once but again and again, the type of food that people come back for.

    We had dinner here on Saturday and overall it was a pleasant evening, with some highlights and a couple of concerns. The starters were absolutely delicious — full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The ambience was perfect: warm, relaxed, and very enjoyable. I had the risotto for my main, which was nicely done and satisfying. However, my husband and our guest both ordered the pork dish, which turned out to be more like gammon. Although it was prepared sous-vide, it was extremely salty, and the accompanying jus only made it worse. Unfortunately, this really detracted from their experience. More concerningly, both of them had upset stomachs the following day, which was disappointing after what had started as such a promising meal. A lovely setting and strong starters, but the main course — particularly the pork dish — needs improvement.

    How is it possible to have the same portion sizes for men and women? Please rethink fine dining.
